Man, is it just me, or are there more NPB's of Amazon than even yahoo. Last to sales that closed same thing, "sorry I found one for less" Im just about sick of Amazon and their in-ability to police their action site, Is this just me having such bad luck? I have posted lotsa items on e-bay and never yet had a NPB. Oh well, thanks for your replies.

Quite the opposite for me on Amazon. Most of my bidders pay using one click, about 80%. Are you accepting one click payments? This makes it really easy for the bidders. Also having some good luck lately with the buy it price.

I was also burned. " We are out of town" "We will send the check Tuesday" "What is you address again? We will send the check" Now, I get no replies to emailZZZZZZZZ - I also was burned on YAHOO! 6 weeks, same story ... I left neg feedback and was also given bad feedback saying I never gave mailing information...
these people are out of hand. DON'T BID IF YOU DON"T HAVE THE CASH!

x . . . qtk: The problem that you mention may be attributable to the failure of either your or your bidder's email servers. I've had a problem lately where my winning bidders are not receiving my email to them and I'm not receiving theirs. Unfortunately, some auction users are not bright enough to call to discover the root of a problem and neg instead.

I use Auctionwatch for notifications and email the winning bidders. I even use my Hotmail.com account. They get the mail. If they respond to the Auctionwatch automated notification email, that should lock the deal. I have all of the information is on that page, there should be no reason to fail. Some people are playing games.

The bottom line with NPBs at Amazon is that Amazon has nothing to gain by admonishing NPBs.
Remember, NPBs are Amazon customers too. A customer is more valuable to Amazon than an auction/zShop seller. While the bidder may have stiffed you, they are still a potential customer to Amazon.
Amazon has nothing to gain by enforcing bids on your items.
