Another for the Blocked Bidder list?

Sold three cards to gamer3374bc. Zero feedback high bidder, new account. Didn't pay.

Waited a week. Sent email asking if he wanted the cards or if there was a problem. No response.

Cancelled transaction, waited the week ebay requires, still no response.

Ebay cancelled the auction and returned my fees and I have offered the cards to the next highest bidders.

Seems a bit unusual, but not TOO irritating. I would think a newbee would at least respond to one of the messages.

Any thoughts?

Not sure why this surprises you. I average 5 non payers per week. File the claim, get your fees back, relist and move on.

It is the first time this happened to me. Seems like a complete waste of time, buyers like this should get a life.

Yep alot of non-paying bidders lately. Ebay has created this monster within.

Shoot, it has happened to me with bidders with 5,000+ feedbacks. That is the atmosphere that Ebay harbors lately. Everything falls upon the seller. The buyer is responsible for nothing.

I guess I should consider myself lucky!

Thanks for the responses guys.

Call me cynical but the first thought that comes to mind is the seller is probably trying to cover himself.

How long do you guys give someone to pay for an item before you report it?
