This buyer purchased items and asked to make payment around 2 weeks later. Out of good faith i said yes and now she is not paying or responding to my emails. This buyer has done this before to someone else...buying and then not paying.

it is against forum rules to name & shame.

open non payment dispute and go though the process that way buyer will receive  a strike which is more help for sellers;

Also put them on your blocked bidders list so they cannot do it to you again:

Not according to your OP.

 

Maybe, if you have so many issues when you only have 16 items listed, you might need to look at your listings.

 

I don't sell clothes, but if I was getting many NPBs from 16 listings I would have a look at what attracts them. And at my many competitors to see what they do differently.

 

But that's just me.

 

I also wouldn't bring an issue to the boards unless I was prepared to take on board constructive criticism from people vastly more experienced than myself. Which would, admittedly, require me to provide some specific info, rather than having a vent.

Why is it the sellers fault and the fault of their listing that they are getting non paying bidders?

 

It is across the board more and more people are getting non - paying buyers on ebay

 

Becuase they know they can get away with it

 

Not sure what they achieve out of it though Smiley Frustrated

My point was, if I created a thread for each and every NPB it would clog up this entire forum. There is no point in creating such threads. You have tools available to deal with NPBs, use them. If not sure how to, find out using the help section.

Again, not sure what you aimed to achieve in starting this thread. Considering there are millions of transactions weekly.

If they are getting more than the average, it could well be down to their listings. Or their low feedback.

 

I was suggesting a few avenues to explore, rather than venting at people who are trying to help.

 

Across which board? I average 1 NPB every 2 months. Always have over 5 years, but I list and sell a lot more now than I did back then.
