    Hiya. I've been looking for this myself as I'm fed up with bad buyers at the moment. This link might help.

    No problem. I had this saved in my favourites (!) as I can't decide whether to cancel my account or not!

    Hey milliejon, don't let a few bad eBayers ruin eBay for you.

    Hey milliejon, don't let a few bad eBayers ruin eBay for you.
    Thanks for the message Razorbladekisses! I've been buying and selling for ages now without a problem, but over the past month I've had one person win and not pay, and then the same person re-registered and won two other items (but I caught them out).

    I've sold a bundle of my little girl's clothes (about 30 items of next etc) for £1.80!!!! The buyer emailed straight away to say that she'd pay in 10 days!

    Oooh! I'm not fed up am I?

    I'm quite upset though - I mostly sell my kids outgrown clothes so I can buy them more of the next size. Not going to get much for £1.80 am I?

    Sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time with eBay at the moment. Perhaps a break from eBay is what you need. Hopefully the stupid eBayers will disappear and when you start to sell again you'll have pleasant buyers :)

    Cheers hun! Maybe I'll be in a better mood tomorrow. I usually get like this at this time - there's a week until payday and money is getting very tight!

    It does no harm to just not touch your account, better than closing it for good?

    About 3-4 years ago I actually took a break from ebay but kept my account open as I had a fair bit of feedback. When I had time and the inclination to start up again I felt quite refreshed and felt better for my absence.

    I've been thinking about this overnight, and decided not to close the account just in case I feel the need to sell again.

    I will try to have a while off from it - but it's gonna be tough!!
