EDIT:
Turned out to be a false alarm. Her package got delivered and she was grateful, sorry for the confusion.

Looking for seller advice. I sold one of my items on 4/28 and still haven't received payment from the buyer. I sent an invoice and sent them a reminder email. The buyer has a feedback of zero. What's the best way to proceed?

Thanks

I would just open a case, saying you want to cancel because the buyer changed their mind (under the resolve a problem option), and then add their name to this list. Basically you're giving them an out instead of doing the whole Buyer has not Paid option and waiting them out, I found they usually take the cancel the transaction option and you can relist your item.

Shoot off another e-mail and if you don't mind or can afford to wait, give them a few more days and see if they pay and if they don't, just straight out file a NPB (Non-Paying Bidder). You can also follow the advice above.

Seems like I get a lot nowadays. And I may have another one for the list in a few days. It's pretty much almost forcing me to do just BIN's now.

Feedback extortion user kkimmerling, block immediately.

He bought a Steam game from me. I sent him the code in both an e-mail and an ebay message two days ago. He gave me negative feedback the day after claiming "AVOID! Paid 3 days ago, No Code in email, No Communication. No Good! AVOID!" ing THREE DAYS for a game I charged $1.50 for. And he used the code.

List has been updated.

Non-paying buyer: ronniehis

No communication from this buyer. He used "Buy it now" and just went dark. I filed a non-payment claim after 7 days were up, and got back my final value fee.

Non-paying bidder: rayminatorthecouchpotato

He bid on 20+ of my auctions two weeks in a row, and hasn't paid for any of them or responded to any messages. A fine example of eBay's worst!

Scammer: haya6478

Filed an unauthorized chargeback claim on credit card through Paypal. Paypal gave me my money back once they verified item was delivered on my part.

The most ridiculous part is that an attempted delivery was made so it was brought back to the USPS office. The person had to go to the post office and actually pick it up. Never bothered to email me about item for return or mistaken purchase. Just kept it and filed chargeback claim.

Moron/PITA: tmyler240sx

I'm positive that this is someone from CAG. He tried to pull a prank by making a low-ball offer (of $12) in the final few hours for a signed item that I was selling. I immediately realized his intention. So, I jokingly sent him a message that I'd accept his $12 if he'd agree to pay an enormously high shipping and handling fee that covers the entire cost of the listing. He then replied with strings of profanity and the horrible grammar of a first-grader.
