Do eBay Buyers get punished for not paying?

Failure to pay for items is a violation of our abusive buyer policy. When a seller cancels an order because the buyer hasn’t paid, the unpaid cancellation is recorded on the buyer’s account. Buyers who have excessive unpaid cancellations may have limits imposed by a seller or by eBay, or lose their buying privileges. Put simply, a defect is a bit like a ‘black mark,’ or indication of failure. eBay sellers will receive a defect on a transaction when: an eBay Money Back Guarantee and PayPal Purchase Protection case is closed without seller resolution. the seller initiates a transaction cancellation (e.g. when an item is out of stock) Many people are unaware that it could be a federal crime to fail to deliver an item someone has purchased from you at an eBay auction. If you are facing criminal charges, it is imperative you know your rights and develop a strategic defense to the charges you are facing. It depends on the dispute. If a buyer opens a case saying the item never arrived and tracking shows it was delivered, I win every time. If a buyer says that an item is not as described, I have them return it for a refund. No big deal. eBay will review the details and get back to you and the buyer with a resolution within 48 hours: If eBay closes the case in your favor, the case will be closed immediately and you won’t need to do anything else.

Does eBay punish sellers?

Everyone benefits so long as buyers and sellers alike trust the eBay marketplace. All of the above practices put trust at risk, so eBay restricts sales or suspends sellers entirely when they occur. Refuse to claim responsibility Under eBay’s Money Back Guarantee rules, sellers must take responsibility for missing items unless tracking information proves that the item was delivered correctly. If a seller does not refund a buyer when required, eBay will forcibly take the funds to resolve the situation. To meet eBay’s minimum standard, you can only have up to 2% of transactions with one or more defects over the most recent evaluation period. To qualify as a Top Rated Seller, you can only have up to 0.5% of transactions with one or more defects over the most recent evaluation period. For example, to be eligible for a refund you must complete and pay for items on eBay.com using a payment method approved by eBay. As a buyer, you may be eligible for eBay’s money back guarantee if: You didn’t receive the item as promised by the seller. The item you get doesn’t match the seller’s listing. The seller issues a refund If the seller does not refund the buyer and return tracking shows the item was delivered, eBay may automatically issue a full refund on the seller’s behalf.
