    In which case it really looks like they're taking out the competition that's cheaper than their item, rather than drop shipping.

    They'll probably pay eventually then leave bad feedback and low stars - the only thing you could do is phone ebay and point out they're selling the same item and deliberately sabotaging yours, and they MIGHT remove any bad feedback.

    They're daft using the same account to buy and sell. Have they got anything cheap for sale that you could buy, wait ages to pay, then leave lousy feedback should you need to...? (cruel, but as is what they are doing!)

    I love your idea abou buying something cheap. I'll have a look over lunch to see if they have anything. Now the fun part should I use the same ebay so she knows the game is up?

    Still no payment and no cheap items :(

    Wish there was a name and shame ebay site so everyone can block her.

    Did you open a non paying bidder after 2 days? In which case, it'll soon be 4 days after opening it, so you can close it!

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Clearly, as you've suggested, they bought yours simply to get it off eBay and prevent their items being undercut. Helpfully, the NPB case will soon be over, so you can relist your item, but do remember to block the buyer, as they will undoubtedly try to do exactly the same thing again, when your item gets relisted.

    On the plus side, once the NPB case is closed, they won't be able to leave malicious feedback.
