Thanks for that. Many karma points. I can't get past buyer requirements...I am guessing that this only applies to business sellers.

The current high bidder has a feedback of 4.... 3 of which say non payment - avoid etc...(all within the last month) the latest one is fine so obviously payment received I assume. ?
The reason these non-payers get away with it is because of sellers leaving false positives - the correct process is to file a non-paying bidder case.
If you leave a false positive, the unpaid item strike will be removed (as Ebay will think the transactions was concluded sucessfully or why leave a postiive?) and this bidder will carry on doing it again.
After 4 days, close the Case, and make sure you block any buyers with more than 2 unpaid items wihin a 12 month period. This cuts out a LOT of timewasters. If everyone followed the non-paying bidder process, and applied the blocks, these timewasters won't last long.
Do not be tempted to give a 'false positive' - you reward non-payers and contribute to the problem.0
