Hi ! I had a buyer bid on an item and never contact me after EOA notice and request for shipping information.I save all emails to them.I filed A NPB,you would think that a note from Ebay would get there attention.Then I left a Neg.He had no FB now they have -1.After not answering me with that item,they turned around and bid on something else of mine!No contact with this as well.Filed a NPB after no contact and left a neg tonight.I received a retalitory feedback and probably will get another tonight.Do these people not understand that the seller sell because they want to make money?Whats the problem with people that do not contact you and don't pay?I have gone out of my way to be a good seller and satisfy everyone.I have done a good job so far.I hate to be mean and seem like a Scrooge but enough is enough.

The "deadbeat negging game" is one that's impossible for a seller to win. The cards are stacked in favor of the bidder. Cancel this jerk's bid, block him from bidding in the future, and move on.

Why did you not block them from bidding? I agree about negging bidders, there is little reason to do that. If a bidder has 10 positives and 10 negatives, they still will be welcomed on ebay. It is the NPB where the seller has the power.

Hello again! Thanks for your comments and suggestions.I did block them.I even thought to give them the benefit of the doubt and was going to call them.They had a non real Company and a non real contact name and there was a phone #.However that number made no sense when it answered.It was like a fake synthesized machine of some sort.I left a message at the end of what I thought was a beep with my phone # and name and I never heard back up until today!I am just going to move on.But I would like to know are we supposed to just let them get away with this?Even at times I know if you NPB they get all goofy and neg you then too!I guess we are all supposed to be saints???LOLOL!

No I was not talking to a fax machine ! I said it was a sythesized voice that was too fake.Also I called for a phone # for that vicinity and there was no listing.The # is a non working # according to the phone company in that city and state.I am really not as stupid as you think I am!Just weary!Seems like you are an expert,What would you do!

I am not 100% sure about this, but I believe ebay is very strict about having accurate registration information. So, if you reported this user to safeharbor, and stated that you believed their registration information was bogus, they would check, and if true, NARU the person.
