LOL, yes... but it's repeat habit that is the most worrying. Everyone can make one mistake. Do the wrong things often and you're asking for trouble. Sometimes it may be unavoidable and in those times, the non-payer should contact the seller to explain their situation. A little communication can go a long way on both ends.

This is the issue. Currently there are a significant number of buyers that don't pay as they request a cancellation rather than fail to communicate at all. A seller has two choices. To accept the reason why the buyer has given for not being able to go through with the sale (which may or may not be reasonable) and send through a cancellation request, or to tell the buyer they must complete the transaction.

How so sellers currently ascertain if the buyer is someone that habitually requests sales be cancelled? There are those that fail to communicate at all and end up with a strike, but others may go down the path of making up a sob story to get the seller to send through a cancellation request. Sellers have no way to determine how frequently a buyer has done this in the past.
