peppy, have you set your preferences to block all would be bidders who have more than 1 strike for non payment in the last 12 months?

do that via the Account Tab on your my ebay page and then check your Blocked bidders activity log over the next few months to see how many you have blocked.. you may be surprised.

just tweeking your preferences to avoid some non-payers is really helpful.

however, we cannot block them all, and occasionally we have to wear a non-payer, wait up the 8 days and relist after disputing
