This last six weeks have been a doozy:

I accepted her best offer and first she tells me she will pay in the morning. In her next message she says that PayPal froze her account, but it should be sorted out very soon. That was the last I heard from her. I love the unpaid item assistant because I don't have to chase the seller or request a fee credit.

Woman buys my bag. She needs it soon so I check the overnight prices for her and give her options. She pays and then sends a message that she used the wrong credit card and can I please cancel the transaction. When I finally see her message, she has sent me a few more messages. I try to cancel the transaction via eBay, but I can't because she opened a PayPal dispute. I am on my phone and go over to PayPal and try to cancel the transaction. I couldn't see the reason she used for the dispute. I refund the money and message her that I've resisted the bag with the express shipping options. I never hear from her again. I reported her to eBay and PayPal. I asked PayPal the reason for the dispute and she out in that she found the bag cheaper from another seller. Had I been able to read the reason for the dispute I never would have authorised the refund.

My last little angel is fashi.un2015. Buys but never pays.

Not a non-paying bidder, but not a very nice buyer. She dinged my seller rating for no reason, and I even offered her the option to return a no returns item if she wasn't happy with it, and she didn't reply. She is my only low rating, and she got a phenomenal deal on my scarf too. If she was so disappointed with her purchase, why wouldn't she respond to my offer for a return?

So, I checked her toolhaus feedback left, and she repeatedly hurts sellers ratings, and her reasons don't appear to be valid in most of their cases either. It seems like she just likes to hurt other people's ratings for fun, or damages items so she can return them. It looks like I got off easy with a dinged rating and a positive feedback that says only "Arrived".

I wouldn't wish this buyer on anyone, so I am posting her ID here. Thank you!

you should be able to call eBay and get them to remove the neg ... i'd just say she never responded to offers to replace, and tell them you think it's a mistake neg since the seller didn't seem to have a problem.

Asks me what's the lowest I'll take on a BIN - makes and offer then disappears. I opened a case and then a few days later she says she's gonna pay...and doesn't. Then I get another message saying she'll pay Friday. Well, it's Sunday and nada. I closed the case and blocked. Stupid me waited over 2 weeks for payment.

I have e-bay set up to automatically open an unpaid bidder case after three days. Most bidders will immediately send me payment after receiving that notification.

If the bidder doesn't pay after 7 days, e-bay automatically closes the case, refunds my seller fees, and re-lists the item for me.

It's really idiot proof and I have to do nothing. Honestly it's made my life so much easier. The stress of having to do all that stuff manually was what gave me grief. I highly recommend letting e-bay do all of this for you. They do give you the option of how many days to wait before opening the case on your behalf. I picked three days because I know personally I would never go that long to pay if I won an auction.

Usually I don't wait this long but I just wanted to sell it. But you're right, I'm going to set up my ebay to do it automatically. I didn't realize you can set it to go so quickly. Thanks.

Won the auction and after seeing her comments I immediately called eBay because I knew she wasnt paying. I went ahead and sent a 2nd chance offer to another bidder and reported her under a different category since eBay wouldnt open the non payer case so soon. I guess my phone call and report message got to them because the next day they opened my case and offered to relist the item but I had already relisted it.
Dont be fooled by her positive ratings all her comments are from upset sellers over 15 times of winning bids and not paying. Her 2 most recent comments are from real sellers but no items were actually sold to her.

Bid on my item 30 minutes prior to end on a Tuesday. After 3 days, contacted to see if still interested in completing transaction, they said they would pay following Tuesday. I said that was fine, then they never paid or responded to emails- but had 3 new feedback during the week they didn't pay for my item. I realize those could have been late feedback from prior transactions, but it added salt to the wound.

fritzikay made me Best offer on my item:141776663351

Ebay sent her reminder notice..I sent her 2 reminder notices

So today when a NPB case was open she then decides to message me telling me that she is new to Best offer and didn't realize when I accepted her offer it was a commitment to pay. she says she doesn't really need now. I just don't buy that argument that she is new to the Best offer feature when she has over 300+ feedback.
