Memo to "Buy It Now" eBay sellers

If you list a item and want to block a non paying buyer who has a strike just require immediate payment. I have a strike because I bought a card that turned out to be fake and refused to pay but the seller would not cancel the transaction. Just tried to pull the trigger on a card but got denied even though I could pay ASAP because of that.

I get that for auctions but if you list a BIN just require immediate payment then you have no worries if the buyer will go threw with the sale. Blocking striked BIN buyers makes no sense, just require immediate payment.

That doesn't really work, because if the buyer wants to buy multiple BINs from me, he would have to pay for each item one at a time, along with the $2.00 shipping charge for every single item, even though I combine all shipping fees into one $2.00 charge no matter how many cards they buy from me. Sure I would simply end up refunding the over-payment, but what buyer wants to front $20.00 in shipping fees on 10 cards?

Some buyers want to hit the BIN but pay a day or two later, instead of immediately, though. Why not email the seller and explain the situation so they can revise the auction if they choose to do so.

<< <i>Should have paid then filed item not as described. Refund back and no unpaid strike. More work for you but pretty much the only way to avoid it. >>
Missing the point buddy. If the seller is worried about getting paid who cares if they have a strike or not just click the required payment button.
Also I'm not gonna sit and wait a month for eBay to refund me $500 on a fake card.

Tried that and eBay said that they are not accepting messages.

I hear ya but fist I would think that a seller would want a paid sale then deal with the "issues" later.
<< <i>Just curious, why did you bid and purchase a card that you knew was fake before sending payment? >>
It was a BIN. I refused to pay after noticing the sellers completed auctions. The other cards they sold were bad fakes so I assumed the one I bought had to be fake also and the seller was complacent and would not cancel.

Just curious, what was the item and who was the seller so others can avoid their items.

I don't buy from sellers who demand immediate payment, I am sure there are others who feel the same way.
Funny thing is I almost always pay immediately, I just don't like to be told I HAVE to.

+1, unless it's a screaming deal or Pop 1.

Bad idea. That would mean I'd be blocking anyone that wanted to pay by cash, money order, etc.
I should also add its an invaluable option when selling modern. Modern cards can fluctuate significantly in a very short period of time. As a seller, if you follow sports closely, you can really maximize your profits by selling at the right time.
If you find your ID is blocked due to an unjust unpaid item strike then create a secondary eBay ID.

If they're blocking bidders for unpaid item strikes, they're likely blocking bidders with <10 feedback as well.
