A long-time seller expresses frustration over non-paying buyers and suggests that eBay should have a better system to handle these cases, as it wastes their time and affects their sales.
Hi all. This is my first post on this subreddit. I have been buying and selling on eBay for 12 or so years with very few issues. However in the last month i have had one particular item sell 3 times on eBay and the transaction never complete. Each time it has been a buyer from somewhere in Africa (which i have no issue selling to) and each time they have not responded to eBay’s payment reminders, any messages and never bother cancelling the order meaning a waste of 4 days each time before i can re-list. I notice on one of these occasions feedback for the buyer from sellers who have also had their time wasted by them. Does the “non payment count” not stand for anything anymore? Is this a recent issue with time wasters? It’s only ever on one particular item i am selling. I just don’t know whats going on anymore with it.
