    Eighth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    It has happened a lot to us recently after having little trouble the past couple of years. Recently we have had at least 5 none payers. Many after waiting plenty of time and trying to communicate with them,
    One was a bike they said they would pick up on 4 different days and never did.

    After sufficient time we just open an unpaid item case , re-list and get the final value fee back. We now make sure we say we want immediate payment.

    You can say what you want, the eBay time frames for opening an NPB remain the same.

    Oh I do love BIN with immediate payment, it makes running my eBay shop sleazy as I virtually have no auctions at all anymore.



    What are you selling?!
