OK - maybe I am in a bad mood - having a bad week (I did have day-surgery yesterday so that's my excuse n I'm sticking to it)...... I have piffle listed (due to being unwell) - and am learning what to do n not do re postage and starting prices - have had good luck but also been burned with the 99c thing....etc etc.....but what I don't get it why someone bids, wins, gets 2 friendly invoices, a final email re-stating my terms...I hear totally nothing whatsoever - and have to open (another) NPB case.
What's in it for them???
I can't relist the thing til the case closes, eBay gets my buck or two, to invest while I wait for fee refund, and it is a giant waste of time and effort - then you can't even leave a neg or whatever in FB to let others know of the bidder's tendancies. I block them, but it has also happened twice now with a bidder with 0 feedback & one with 4 FBs. I know we all started with zero & many great honest buyer there be. BUT - and you all know what I mean......plus, blocking a serial NPB only goes so far, cos they just sign up with a new ID - it seems.
I'm frustrated, I guess.
Do you think they just hit randomly? I've had 4 in less than 3 months - and I'm not exactly selling 100's (or even 10's - ha ha) - a month.

Smiling-buying hope this makes you feel better - I've had 175 Non-paying Bidder cases in the last 18 months (almost 10 a month) and out of that total 142 were closed without the buyers paying.
I'm feeling very proud that 142 deadbeats have received strikes from me (and hopefully from other sellers) and so are unable to buy from sellers with their blocks in place. I've got another one due to go on the BBL and get a strike in 2 days time
