Unpaid Item - twice (?)

I sold an item about 12 weeks ago and they didn't pay , first time its happened to me, I checked their feedback and there was hardly any for this year .

so I opened a case and reported it as unpaid for etc.

then just a coupla weeks ago I sell the same item and again they haven't paid . Different buyer , they've got a fair amount of recent feedback , all good .

I've contacted them a coupla times , no response .

But what I'm wondering is could it be the same person , someone in a family ?

trouble is I can't see the previous listing now as they disappear after 60 days (?)
Is there a way to see if it's from the same address ?

    Not really, but it is one of those co incidences that a single item can attract more than one non payer. I am sure many of us have noticed the same.

    Ebay sends an Email subject "You've sold your ebay item"
    See if you still have that from 12 weeks ago. It will show the buyer Ebay address.

    It does happen. I had a non-payer, followed the usual NPB case and and blocked them. Then relisted and a different ID bought it and paid immediately... same name and address as the first buyer! :(

    I sent the item signed for, just in case the plan was to claim it went missing in the post and I could see the signature on-line, so all was well, but I immediately blocked the 2nd ID too! :)
