Anyone else have problems with bidders who win your auction, only to cry off with some stupid excuse when you try to sort out payment? It's happening all too frequently and leaving negative feedback doesn't see mto do any good. Anyone got a solution....?

It's a real pain if you go through Ebay's Noy paying bidder programme so you get your listing fees back.....

Yes, had one recently who decided that ignoring me was the best policy, relisted the item and only got half the previous bid value

In my opinion I would not be surprised if most of the non paying bidders were some how CONnected to ebay...

How can you stop sellers ramping the auction with phantom bids?

I currently have fooking 5 non-payers. A right pain in the ****.

The main trouble is that if you neg them they can neg you despite them being the time-waters.
