New Buyers bid but dont buy.

[supersonic_india]

This is becoming increasingly irritating. I wish Ebay would do something about these new buyers who register just to bid on items and then vanish. They dont care about unpaid strikes , negative ratings. But end up wasting our insertion fees , time and intrest in selling. Wish new buyer ( less than five ratings) would not be allowed to bid on more than one product till he/she pays up for that item. That way so much time and effort all sellers would be saved.

We All Were New Too At Some Point Or Other ,,,
I Agree It Can Be Irritating
... But If A Few Of Those New Buyers End up Being Seasoned Buyers ,,,
It Will Help All Of Us

Hi supersonic_india,

I agree with sareewholesale that all of us are new some day and slowly become big buyers and sellers. However, I understand that getting buyers who do not pay up is irritating. We will be soon making some changes in the site, where after your Buy it Now listing offering PaisaPay as the only mode of payment will close only once the buyer has made a payment via PaisaPay.

I also have a suggestion for you. Many a times a buyer does not honour the deal when he realises after buying that the deal is not as good as it was looking earlier. For example he notices it later that shipping charge for a product is too high. I was going through your listings, and it is possible that the shipping charges you are charging is turning off the buyer. You might want to get a more reasonable courier to ship your products, or bundle the shipping cost in the product itself. You can also speak to your non paying buyers to know what turned them off.

Also, do not forget to watch out the announcement board to know when the changes will be live on site.

Regards,
Sapana
