Default eBay are raking it in through scammers

I don't know about you lot but I'm well not happy that we are not crediting our listing fees back when SCAMMERS keep clicking on buy now.

It's killing me you see for a while now we have had customers asking us to start selling wholesale, So we have started with wholesale lots of N95's we have had three scammers buy it, and every time they do it's costing us over 3 quid in fees that are not returned.

This in my book is totally out of order it's not our fault eBay does not vet there customers good enough,
So my question is why should we be getting charged listing fees for all those scammers?


I mean come on if i owned eBay i'd love scammers they must be raking in 6 figer sums each and every day off them this just can't go on for ever without something done to stop it.

Hi,
When setting up BIN listings, make sure you tick the box which says "Immediate payment required" that way, your listing won't end until someone actually pays you via PayPal.

Hope this helps.

Saajan thanks but eBay does not allow you this if your buy now price is greater than 1,000 quid.

Oh right never knew that. I used that option because I was in a similar situation but I was selling PSP's which are worth under £170
