[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 54775, member: 118"]That happened to me few times in the past. Chinese buyers with zero or small feedback would bid on something and then not paid. Why they do that? Just want to screw the auction? What really piss me off is that they never answer to messages. Ebay policy is also not fair. I would wait for about a week and then either file for an item not paid or cancel the transaction. I think I should be able to cancel right away, not wait for the buyer to confirm. This wait I have to hold the item and not be able to relist when I want to. Like, recently I sold something, buyer not responding to messages for almost two weeks. Then I requested a cancellation and listed again before the item was cancelled. Then few days later, good amount of watchers, and I see an echeck waiting to be cleared. Buyer never told me. Ended the auction and luckily the check cleared. But then whatchers started asking why. What if someone placed a bid already? Anyway, I will wait 3-4 days and I will request a cancellation.
