Ebay bidder issue?

Posted 19th Mar 2023

Morning all.
Couple of weeks back I sold an item on ebay. After a week and several messages sent, I had no response and no payment from the winning bidder. I have since relisted the item. I noticed today that the same bidder is back and is currently winning the auction. Should I give them a 2nd chance? Should I cancel the bid? Should I block the buyer? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

If a bidder doesn't pay, first thing is to block them.

Thanks for the feedback. I rarely sell stuff on ebay, so I'm a little inexperienced with it all. Would blocking them also automatically cancel their bid?

Should do but you can cancel their bids too if needed

Did you report the seller for non payment and get your fee credits back after the first time. You say you don’t sell much so i thought id check.

Also, there are whole lists of usernames of problem ebayers online and once in a while i just copy the list into my blocked ebayer box and dont get any issues.

Personally I don't use ebay any more but that is a very quick and easy way to deal with timewasters.
