FVF (not Granted?)

hi, i have about 20 disputes at the moment where people just haven't paid or responded to e-mails. you can usually tell after about 4 days whether someone is gonna screw you.

but i wait seven days then file a an unpaid item form, some of them say; closed FVF granted. some say closed No FVF granted, and others say; other party has not responded.

However only two have a tick by eligble for credit. does anyone know why this is?

also since eBay changed this system i have had more non-paying-bidders than ever before ::)

    How is your feedback?

    Are buyers getting scared off?

    Seeing things like this start to get me worried as Soo knows I have just had my first......

    Is this a trend?

    Do e-bay need to get a grip of members details. I think they should ask for valid bank details or credit card details to verify new members.

    Hiya

    Just a quick question about FVF, I have not non paying bidders,:P who I have filed for Non Payment, and against their names in my dispute section it has a tick and eligble for credit.:D Is this all I have to do, or do I need to complete another form to get the FVF, or does it automatically get credited to my account????

    I have looked through the help pages at Ebay, but can't find anything.:'(

    Any help from you guys would be appreciated.:-*

    Cheers

    my feedback is 210 (no negatives) the NPB's are just all shown so it's not 20 all at once.

    i just wanted to know how they can say only two are eligble for credit? and yet some say FVF granted but there is no tick by the eligble for credit column?

    i seem to get lots of 0 to 10 feedback users bidding on my items, i think this is because what ever i sell i start the auction at 99p 9 assuming that eventually it will reach it's market value (sometimes there are bargains but other times a bidding war ensues.*

    think i've been unlucky in that i've had about 4 in the last week >:(

    another annoying thing is by the time you've filed your NPB and waited for them to get back to you the next highest bidder is never interested in a 2nd chance offer.
