  • if I were you I would add them to your blocked bidder list and tighten up your buyer requirements.

    Thanks for that :) - I might do. If a zero bidder does win it and doesn't pay up, then there's always a second chance offer.

    School run all done. I'll have to leave to meet my friend at 11.30, so my aim is to get £10 earned before then.

    yes there is - but you can't do that until a non paying bidder case as been opened and closed which takes a minimum of 6 days. Not worth the grief.

    I wouldn't worry too much about a buyer with zero feedback. Everyone has to start somewhere. After all we all started with zero feedback didn't we? :)
    Non paying buyers however are the scum of the earth. You should always open a non paying buyer case and when they get enough ebay will ban them.

    and there is always the danger that after the 6 days have passed the underbidder will no longer want the item.

    Back from lunch. Cost me £12.88 for 2 meals, 2 drinks and 2 ice creams. Not bad at all.

    Need to leave to pick my nephew up just before 4pm, so will get another £10 earned before then.
