<p>[QUOTE="ocjoe949, post: 1987971, member: 35416"]Sometimes I sell a coin or scrap gold or silver on ebay when I think its hot and will bring more money. Usually Im on the money (no pun intended) Lately it seems that there is a ton of new bidders with 0 feedback who win your auctions and don't pay. You used to be able to block new bidders. If you're new, go buy a few trinkets for a few bucks and build up to 10 feedback and then jump in to bigger stuff right?? Now you can't block any one like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that these people get new accounts, put in high bids on stuff they like or want, they pay for whatever they get at what they consider a great deal, and flake on the rest. They open a new account and start over again. In the meantime, I have to wait to get my final value fees back, don't get paid, and wind up (can I say <span style="color: #ff0000">no </span>"<span style="color: #ff0000">Edited ~ read rules</span>") in here? It is happening more and more, and usually on metals and coins. I usually keep an eye on my listings and cancel bids from 0 feedback buyers. Most snipe at the end and there is nothing I can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Complaining to ebay does nothing. We all know that. I have a love and hate relationship with ebay, and this is one of my hate portions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Read the rules <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/link-forums/the-rules.48/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/link-forums/the-rules.48/">The Rules</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
