    Why can't they?

    I have just sold to a non payer who has 100% positive feedback but I have now noticed one of the comments is 'NO COMMUNICATION, NO PAYMENT, DO NOT TRUST THIS E BAYER.'

    I couldn't understand why they gave the sale as positive but still wrote those comments....now I do!

    Unfortunately the seller , if reported will get a warning strike on their seller dashboard which can seriously damage their account if they are a small seller. The remarks will also be removed and just the positive rating left.

    Only a daft seller would reqard a non payer with a positive.

    Thanks for your replies Oliver14 and soolin.

    I still don't understand why a Buyer who wins an auction but doesn't pay for the goods is immune to negative feedback.

    In fact the Seller is penalized if he says any thing negative. Why? I am not a dodgy seller but this buyer has waisted my time and he doesn't even have the grace to reply to my messages!

    Can I find out how many times he has done this before?

    But if you do a full NPB on them, it will limit what things they can buy and if they get a few of them they effectively ban themselves from Ebay.

    Much more effective than a red dot, IMHO.

    Whenever you feel aggrieved at a non payer go and check your 'blocked' logs and see how many people have been blocked due to having 2 or more strikes. I still get a message a least once a month from potential buyers begging me to allow them to bid as their strikes were ' a mistake', obviously I ignore them all and just thank each and every seller that has ever completed a full NPB on a time waster

    Thanks but what is a full NPB?

    I understand it means Non Paying Bidder and have adjusted my seller preferences as soolin's link above. Is that all I can do?

    A full NPB is when a seller does a full non paying bidder claim, rather than letting the buyer off with a mutual.

    Why would anyone let the buyer off? I have put in a NPD claim(which I now assume is 'full') as that seems to be the only way to get your selling fees back.

    You would be surprised , many sellers worry about upsetting buyers and automatically go for a mutual.
