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? Phil
