    Don't forget you can offer the item to the next highest bidder. I know you don't get so much money and it isn't really the point of your post but it is there to help you sell items if the buyer reneges on the deal.
    A useful suggestion but does anyone know how often second chance offers are accepted? I have only ever offered one and that was refused as that bidder had bought elsewhere in the 7 days I had to wait.

    Maybe I’ve been lucky but I have rarely had a non paying bidder so I don't yet see it as a major problem.

    With me its been about 50%.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
