Ok I should know this...
A person has 3 postives (one btw was supposed to be a neg, said, no payment, no response to NPB, but whatever)
And 3 negatives. If I give this person a neg, would this NARU her? That would mean 4 negs and 3 positives....
I don't want to give a neg, but heck, no response to emails, or the NPB thing.
With a feedback of -4 one can't bid but someone has to bring this to eBay's attention before there is a NARU. Simply having 4 negs means nothing to eBay.

Ok I get where it has to be brought to ebay's attention, but she couldn't bid because of -4? This is automatic in the system? Sorry brain block today.

Shelly - I believe it's a record of 4 NPB's (from different sellers) that will cause the user to be kicked off eBay. I think it's automatic.

If the user has 3 unique positives and has 4 unique negatives, that comes out to a total of -1.
When an account reaches a total of -4 (not "just" 4 negs), the person is automatically prohibited from listing or bidding. In order to be NARU'd, the account must be brought to eBay's attention.
Feedback and NPB/FVF ["black marks"] requests are two completely different things, and nobody on the user side of eBay can tell how many "black marks" a person has against them. When they reach 3, they are suspended for 30 days; when they reach 4, they are NARU'd.

There are 2 separate issues at hand;
1.) You will be automatically NARU if you end up with a feedback rating of (-4). The amount of negs you get means nothing unless you reach (-4).
Got it?
Now;
2.) You will be automatically suspended for 30 days if you receive 3 NPB warnings, and suspended indefinitely if you receive a 4th warning.
Got it?
Now pay attention, because here's the part everybody screws up;
The user DOES NOT have to get the 3 warnings resulting from "unique" users filing FVF refund requests. If ONE person files 3 or more, the buyer will be suspended.
However...
You HAVE to have multiple users leaving negatives for the buyer to have their feedback drop to a (-4) since "unique" users can only count toward a 1 (or -1) when calculating a users feedback.

You might think so, but you'd be wrong.
I filed for a refund of FVFs last month on 4 auctions, all won by the same bidder, and that user was never suspended nor NARU'd, as is supposed to happen (theoretically, anyway).
I submitted three credit requests for auctions that had the same high bidder, why isn't that bidder now suspended?
There could be a number of reasons. First, the system will not automatically suspend a bidder if that bidder receives three Non-Paying Bidder Warnings from one seller. This does not mean that the bidder will not be suspended, it simply means that the bidder will be manually reviewed and if appropriate, suspended. Second, just because you submit a credit request does not mean that the bidder receives a Non-Paying Bidder Warning. Certain criteria must be met before a Non-Paying Bidder Warning is issued to the bidder.

Well, I filed nine (9) FVF refund requests against an individual and as soon as I finished, I updated the screen and the user was NARU.

Directly from Ebay's FAQ about non paying bidder policy (copied and pasted):

Hey, I can do that too!
I submitted three credit requests for auctions that had the same high bidder, why isn't that bidder now suspended?

And now, with a little twist; every other word missing!
I three requests auctions had same bidder, isn't bidder suspended?
could a of . First, system not suspend bidder that receives Non-Paying Warnings one . This not that bidder not suspended, simply that bidder be reviewed if , suspended. , just you a request not that bidder a Bidder . Certain must met a Bidder is to bidder.
