Hi Vicky,
Sorry to hear about this. It is very important that when you have a situation like this that you send the username of the nonpaying bidder so that I can close their account. We have a one strike and you are out policy to prevent bad bidders from bidding again. Doing it to one person is the bidder’s fault, allowing that bad bidder to do this to someone else is the auction venue’s fault.
As far as the other auction site, maybe you are lucky that you don’t have a credit card. Remember you pay there to post an auction so when the winner doesn’t pay, you are out cash as well as time. Here is a recent quote from a seller on their forums describing her experience there: “i’m getting more and more frustrated…deadbeat bidders, liars, swindlers, bad mail system, i should take a few weeks off til the dust settles…..”. This seller said this in a thread about a bad bidder she had and others there responded that they recognized this bidder because he also screwed them. Instead of bouncing this known bad bidder from the system immediately, the person who runs that auction site suggested that the seller “take some time off”! Meanwhile the person causing the problem is free to continuing duping other sellers there who are paying money to list.
Please IM me with usernames of your bad bidders when you have the chance so I can ensure they are no longer on the Panty Hog auctions.
Thanks 😉
