    I have experienced a little glut of non payers lately, it is annoying as I only list Buy It Now items. As soon as the NPB process is available then I use it. Unfortunately there are more than a few timewasters out there.
    Why, if you only sell using BIN, don't you ensure that immediate payment is required by paypal?
    Sure you might miss the very rare buyer who doesn't have a paypal account, but you'll also miss 100% of the non-paying buyers :)

    Almost everything I sold last week was to buyers with less then 5 feedback. Most of them paid immediately, but I have 3 that haven't paid & I will be filing a NPB as soon as I hit day 8.
    I send an invoice when the listing finishes & then another on day 7. Its a pain, I cant help but feel cynical as its summer holiday time again!
