I just had a Nvidia GT440 won by someone with 10 feedback and -0 at the end of their name. They haven't paid in 48+ hours so looking forward to this transaction

EBay (again) scam bidders warning "-0" users

Non paying bidders are a ****** nightmare honestly, every other couple of things I sell (usually higher value stuff) has a non-paying bidder, you have to **** around for 5-7 days each time, nobody hardly ever accepts second chance offers (in my experience) you have to **** around with filing an UPI request, can't stand it.
I wish Ebay did more to deal with non paying bidders, if people had to actually pay for things up front, or pre-authorise their bidding amount off a card or pp account - it would get rid of a lot of pain - sure it would make bidding a little harder, but it would at least cut out a lot of time wasters, and probably scam bots, like these users all ending in -0
Can't stand the place.

Just sold an old mobo/cpu/ram combo, it was won by someone who's name ends in -59 with 0 feedback and they registered today, not feeling very optimistic about this
Never had problems on ebay but now two failed sales in a couple of months (no payment was ever made for the nvidia card)
I've been trying to sell something for the last month or so on eBay and it's been won three times by people with -0 and no feedback. Ebay have removed them right away and warned me but I've had to relist my item. I've never had problems like this before and it's getting annoying now!

I was watching Linus tech tips video about the NCIX liquidation auction, everyone was losing thert heads buying all sorts of crap for silly (high) prices. One person bought a box of what looked like allsorted modern video cards for 2k CAD turned out he bought a box of GPU coolers which gave me all kinds of evil thoughts on exacting revenge on eBay scammers.
