Getting fees back isnt the point. Wha I expect is to be paid for what I sold. Whats the use of an auction if the winning bidder can just walk away.

You can't force a "buyer" to pay BUT if you go through the NPB process and they still don't pay the buyer gets a strike on their account. 

One strike in 12 months won't affect them, but if they are a serial non-payer then sellers that have their buyer blocks in place won't ever be troubled by that "buyer" with 2 or more than strikes in 12 months.
 

I did that and they said there was nothing they could do. So instead of chasing my $12400 they refunded my listings fees.

I expect them to chase my 12 grand is what

thanks for the advise.

How are they going to chase your 12 grand ? Send the debt collectors ? Hire a hit man ?

There are a gazillion non payers every day, always have been and probably always will be. Look at

them as tyre kickers/time wasters/window shoppers/serial pests.

If ebay was so money hungry, you wouldn't have gotten your fees back.

I get that you want to vent, non payers are frustrating but if you do as advised re opening cases

against them, blocking bidders with 2 or more unpaid item strikes etc and either relist the items or

move on, you'll save yourself a whole heap of stress.

Chucking in your selling because of 2 dockheads isn't worth it IMO.
