Incredible number of non-paying bidders

Recently I have listed a high number of my "big dollar" cards on e-bay to try to get my focused on my collection. It featured a Gibson PSA 8 RC. A few mid to lower grade Goudey's and others. Out of 35 purchases, 10 items haven't been paid for. These are all from 5 days to 3 weeks. What the heck is going on? Shouldn't ebay begin taking action against these people and charge them for e-bay fees and such. Non-paying bidders are really bad for e-bay just as they are for sellers. I've e-mailed buyers, I've tried to be nice. I've given extentions, but I haven't gotten any money. I'd rather get the money than not, what should I do to take action.

    ARE these buyers with feedback??? are they responding to emails?? I had a bad problem with it when I first started.. I put a block on bidders with more the 1 non pmt claim in the last month... I would file a non pmt claim on the one's over 2 weeks.. that usually gets a response..

    Ebay is FUBAR. File with ebay on the non's over 2 weeks as stated above.

    For some reason there must be a number of grade school dropouts who think that because they win a bid on an item that perhaps a busy seller might miss it and send them the item without them having to pay. But that's ebay for ya.

    Until ebay allows, which they absolutely should allow, things such as seller options to block unconfirmed PayPal addresses from bidding, and block buyers with feedback below a certain amount at the seller's descretion, and other tools which benefit the sellers and overall would benefit ebay in the long-run, then ebay will continue to be like it is.

    I always except paypal, I hate the fees, but I deal with it when I sell on e-bay. I accept Money Orders, Checks, and cashier's checks, too.

    Blackie, you have a PM.

    Ebay needs to give you more options on blocking bidders. Right now its feedback of 0 to -3 I believe. We should have the options of blocking bidders with NPB strikes, or feedback under any number we choose
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY
