thesoulyearns   I like your user name..   I must say I'm over auctions, so many times people bid & don't pay!! Don't other sellers get sick of it?   There's no consequences for these non paying buyers!!

Thanks, yours is pretty unique. What does it mean?

After having a couple of buyers who didn't pay, I decided that enough was enough and put blocks in place - no one with minus 1 feedback, no one with two or more unpaid strikes in the last 6 months and no one with 4 or more policy violation reports in the last 6 months. You can be even more leniant and change 6 months to 1 month, which I might do after some more thought. It's been great so far, can't remember the last non payer after these blocks and it's been maybe 4 months or so.

There are consequences for non payers, since they can get a strike if they don't pay, by you opening and closing a dispute. Then, if they get enough strikes, they might not be eligable to bid. I started putting "if you're not able to bid, contact me to discuss it" but then decided against it as I feel it was a detractor.
