Not intentionally, but I think my request for final value fees got him booted instantaneously. I requested the credit and a couple of minutes later tried to leave him a neg and he was NARU. He wasn't NARU 3 minutes before because I checked his feedback one more time before the FVF request.
His feedback wasn't that bad. He only had one neg. Probably he had other FVF requests filed against him recently. I guess eBay isn't fooling around.

We have a difference of opinion on this issue. IMO when a deadbeat is NARU'd it does an injustice to all sellers. The deadbeat can (and often will) just open a fresh new account and resume where he left off. No negs or bid retractions to warn sellers. This is a fatal flaw with the NARU process. It is actually less than useless since ebaY can't or won't prevent the offender from opening a new account. It would be much better IMO for ebaY to find a way to FORCE deadbeats to bid under their existing neg-laden accounts with the warts out in the open for all to see. NARUING them does them a favor.

They can get a "new squeaky clean" ID reguardless of if they are NARU, or just Neg ridden. I don't see how NARUing hurts. Some will just say the heck with it, and not bother with ebay any more (in which case something good was done), and some will get a new ID (which they would probably do even if they aren't NARU'd if too many negs pile up)

If you have to have a credit card to register these days (I didn't, since I registered a couple of years ago), then a person with several cards could just keep reregistering with new nicknames...and how would eBay be able to stop them?
They could, of course, but then the registration process would be so onerous for honest folks that many would never bother, and the buyer pool would get pretty slim.
Maybe I'm not seeing something here that others are, and if so, would somebody please explain how eBay can keep NARUed members from reincarnating over and over again without needlessly annoying honest people who want to register for the first time?

Bad bidders are one reason I do not list more on eBay and the same goes for the bad sellers. So now I am very glad to see them get the heaveho.
