Increase in eBay Non-Payers

[t206hound]

Maybe I'm different, but I don't take it personally if someone doesn't pay. I'll get my fees back, and I'll relist the item. Again, it's not worth the time or trouble to hound (pun intended) people to pay. I use the unpaid item assistant (http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/unpa...ant.html#setup) to automatically open up the case after 4 days.

The last item I listed that ended up not being paid for sold for $62 the first time...I relisted and it sold for $29. Sometimes it's worth it to hound the deadbeats.

I sold a 53 Bowman Mantle for $1,200+ and the buyer never paid so I re-listed it and it for less than $700 I think the other bidders above the $700 from last time thought that I might be shilling. BIN with immediate payment required is the best way to go.

I guess I have just been lucky becuase I have sold 300+ items the past two months and only had one non paying bidder.

yes - I have seen an increase for the last two years. Before it was only a few times a year, now it seems like once or twice a month.
