Unpaid Item Dispute - does it close automatically?

Posts: 501 Forumite
I started an upaid item dispute 7 days ago to claim back fees due to a non-paying bidder.
Buyer has not responded at all - will the dispute automatically close itself or will I have to close it myself?
If it is the latter then how do I go about closing it?
Cheers

u close it yourself, click on the close dispute button. You then click on the relevant option and the dispute is closed....
hope this helps

Oh and don't forget to take that little bit of satisfaction from completing the NPB process and getting back the FVFs and knowing that your errant buyer has a strike against their account. Three strikes and they are out.

Thanks everyone! Good job I checked, I assumed the dispute closed automatically.
I will take great delight claiming this one back as the buyer has messed me about for weeks!0 -
Some more urgent help please!
I have now claimed back my fees and the buyer has received an unpaid item strike. I have also left the buyer negative feedback to warn off other sellers. He has responded with a snotty comment saying he sent a cheque, I did not communicate with him etc.
And lo and behold, after ignoring me for weeks I suddenly receive an email via Ebay saying buyer has decided to pay. The email has promised that he will send a cheque 'shortly'. As he as already promised 2 Paypal payments and 1 non-existent cheque I quite frankly no longer want to deal with him anymore.
As the dispute has closed in my favour can I relist the item immediately and can he prevent me from doing so?
Also, what do I do about the buyer? Should I simply ignore him or just contact him and say I have relisted?
If his cheque does turn up (which I doubt), should I just send it back?
Cheers

When I was put in a similar position earlier this year, when the cheque finally did clear I sold it to him and got my fvf. He asked if i could remove the strike and i said no lol0
