Non Paying Bidder Stirkes - what does it do?

Asking for my friend, she's won something and now doesn't want it :rolleyes:

The seller has (rightly) opened an NPB against them, what will happen? Will their account be restricted or something, I don't exactly know what a strike is or how it works :o

    One strike does nothing but it stays on file. Two strikes and your friend will find it difficult to bid on anything else as most sellers have their settings set to refuse bids from people with two or more strikes.

    A serial non payer effectively bans themselves from ebay.
