Buyer refuses to pay.

How do I get a buyer to pay my fees? In the past when I had a few small transactions which were not paid, I got nothing. Will I get the same treatment now I have a reasonably large transaction which the buyer refuses to honour?

    If you report as NBP then you will get your fees back, unfortunately you can't make someone physically pay! there are some !!!!!! out there! what about offering to the second chance bidder?

    your not doing it right then have oyu gone through the non paying bidder process properley as you get your final value fees back then when you relist and resell you get your listing fees back

    The buyer flatly refuses to pay so I want my fees back.

    leave him neg feedback for non payment.and go through the channels of ebay it will take a while but you will get it
    dont go demanding fees cause if he reports you to ebay you will get booted of for intimidation

    Ok so if I go through the non paying bidder process and then relist, I wont have to pay the fees twice?

    no you only pay them if it doesnt sell the second time
    and claim your final fees through the npb program

    by any chance did you have a second bidder if so offer it then through the second chance offer

  • Yes I have offered the 2nd chance but heard nothing back.
  • Just out of curiosity, has your winning bidder given any reason for backing out?
