I've just started selling stuff on ebay - does anybody have any advice about chasing up non paying bidders?

Sold my "steps:the board game" to a chap in america but he aint coughing up the £37 quid! (he's obviously come to his senses!)

Fill out the non-paying bidder form. It's a hassle but at least you'll get your listing fee refunded.

You could even sell it privately to the second highest bidder and not lose anything.

Don't be too keen to leave negative feedback, as he can do the same to you - even if you've done nothing wrong.

create a new user ID because somepeople like to mess with your account if you use your selling ID.

you can pull their account details from ebay and phone them.

Yes I would go through the non-paying bidder process but maybe the otherperson's highest bid isn't much lower anyway so you can send a second chance offer as someone else mentioned. x
