Ratings and frustration !!!

I hate when that happens. This is my only income, so a non-payer could mean a hard time paying a bill. It isn't always newbies though. I've had people with hundreds-thousands of feedback never pay. I don't feel like chasing people down, so I just move on and sell it to the next person. Make sure you are filing a non-paying bidder report against them to get your fees back.

I sell a lot of seeds during the spring & summer on ebay. At any given time 75 people owe. I don't care when they pay as long as it is within 29 days so I can file the fees. You can put restrictions on your items such as buyer requirements. I will not sell to anyone who has a -1 or lower feedback for obvious reasons. It isn't frustrating because there is a steady stream of funds coming into my account so I don't have to count on 1 or 2 not paying. However if I sold very few items at a higher amount because I needed the money it would upset me.

There is a way to report them if they don't pay. I think eBay would do SOMETHING...
