When we created MoviePosterBid.com this was a problem we wanted to address -- we found it was a tough one. We did manage to "do better" on 2 of the 3 issues:
 
1) We refund ALL of the fees paid to a seller who gets hit with a non-paying bidder.
 
2) If a non-paying bidder leaves feedback of any kind, all the seller has to do is notify us and it will be removed immediately. Once a membership has been terminated, the person can no longer leave feedback at all, of course.
 
3) We will immediately suspend a non-paying bidder who does not respond to our official notice with a good and believable explanation -- and even then they only get one "second chance". However, there is just no way to prevent someone from signing up again with a false name and another email address. It's a sad but true fact of life on the internet.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] BAD EBAY BIDDER -- Please Leave Negative Feedback if Possib...

It's one of the major reasons why full-time sellers who have been on
eBay for some time make it a rule that they will only leave feedback
when buyer leaves feedback on receipt of the item... we have all been
burned by this at some point...

Even when a seller has gone through the eBay process on a deadbeat
bidder, it doesn't stop a deadbeat non-payer leave negative feedback on
the seller just as the time runs out for the seller to make a suitable
response...

The Seller gets the final value fee credited, but not the original
listing fee... so the deadbeat gets away with it.

It's one of the major reasons why many sellers won't leave a negative on
a deadbeat... because pro sellers have to use their long time selling
profile as part of their appeal to buyers and negatives can hurt that
profile...

.... and the deadbeat just goes off and registers a new ID for their next
round of auction tampering and malicious activity.

Does eBay care?

What do you think?
