Yes, it is worse than ever.  Non paying bidders all over the place.   It is all the time.  I heard it's a bunch of sellers doing this as hoping to get Ebay's attention on double standards.

I know this may sound like paranoia , but I did recently slipped  up and posted under my business name recently.... when I was going through this thread , I was intrigued that this post did not rate a response from anyone.

As we have several  unpaid items at the moment on business account , I would hate to think this is true.

Since reading comments on the boards we have changed to a softer approach .....send an email after 4 days and politely ask.....if they have sent direct deposit as we can't locate payment and also advise that we hesitate to send to non payment as this may result in them receiving a strike , which may effect their ability to buy from other eBay sellers........ this works well........but we still have a high rate of non payers who ignore all emails ....we start non payment process after a week.... and hope they don't pay and get nasty.

We have had a couple of  buyers who have strung this out to an extra week by sending a cheque......in the mail.....but it worked out in the end......but took 3 weeks to finalise an $8 sale . Cheque is not a payment method that we accept for this reason alone.

...gee it is hard .....when we actually have face to face buyers with cash in hand and we cannot sell the item to them. 

Blocks in place .......so don't know what else to do.
