AND...for anyone who has actually read to the bottom of the description, here's a link to the book I wrote for Melody way back on our 25th wedding anniversary. It isn't reselling related, but it's definitely about the two of us. It is light-hearted and a SUPER easy read. More fun than educational.

It happens a ridiculous number of times to me, like 30-50% of times! It's definitely getting worse. Buyers should be temporarily banned for 3-6 months IF they dont pay, this is only way they will learn and change their behaviour! Or somehow charge them at the point of buyers acceptance. They need to step in because its ruining the experience for honest sellers!
100% agree that ebay needs to fix this. There's no excuse for it.
@@TheChaChingKing absolutely and it feels like it's happening more and more, because buyers have no real penalty. If they were temp suspended from buying they would feel it!
They should make it binding. Like an actual auction.
Same w me! It’s INFURIATING!!! I’d say 50% of “buyers” who ask me to accept their offer & than they just don’t pay!
I understand how you feel as it's happened to me several times. The worse is when you ship the item and they lie about the item not being described. To really illiminate all of this and I know it would probably add additional shipping times and some won't agree with it. eBay would set something up like authentication w/ all the items being sold. Just like they do with shoes. We sell something and it goes to eBay first and they will check it and then they ship it to the buyer. That way those scammers can no longer scam. They can't lie about the item to get a refund because eBay already checked it.
Just added someone to my blocked buyers list today for making an offer that I accepted and then immediately asking to cancel. Then messaged me to ask for an even lower price. Gotta love it.
Oh...yeah....buy, cancel, request lower price = BLOCK every time.
I think I’m getting played someone offered a higher price for my item And of course I excepted it and hasn’t paid so I already sent a message to Flea stay because lots of people are asking for this item
I’ve already encountered this. It’s really frustrating when Ebay limits new sellers - those cancelled sales count against the monthly limit so it makes it harder to get sales and then the feedback necessary to have the limit removed.
Oh wow, I did not know the canceled sales counted toward your monthly count. That's ridiculous since the seller has no control over that. I learned something new today.
I’m a consistent seller on eBay myself. Accept an offer yesterday without checking the buyers feedback first. Turns out they have feedback from other sellers saying they haven’t paid thanks for the advice will definitely remember that next time.
Oh...I hate that. I hope they come through and pay.
@@TheChaChingKing Same here I’m giving them until I have the option to cancel when it shows buyer hasn’t paid. So they can’t ruin my 100% positive feedback.
Good advice. I always use the "Require buyers to provide a payment method..." HOWEVER it does not work for auctions OR if YOU sent an offer to a buyer. It only works if THEY make you an offer. But still, it's a good feature.
It helps a lot.
If a buyer buys an item on auction or accepts an offer I sent and does not pay, I BLOCK them. I don't accept excuses for irresponsibility. They tie up your item so no one else can buy it for 4 days. That's just me. You do what you wish.
If they tie my item up and don't communicate a REALLY good reason for it, I block them, too.
My hope is that eBay will eventually require payment upon purchase. But I'm not holding my breath.
When I get an offer I find acceptable, I don't accept it. Instead, I send the buyer a message. "You're in luck! Your item just went on sale for $x.xx!"This creates a sense of urgency as the favorable price is now available to everyone including other watchers. Do I care if someone else beats them to the punch? Not really.
That's one way to do it! I am not above changing the price for them to get immediate payment
This is a good idea.
big brain moves only
Thank you so much for making these helpful videos!!!
I’m new to selling on eBay and what you’re describing is the single most frustrating part of the experience so far!
I’ve noticed that if the buyer doesn’t pay within a couple hours of me accepting their offer - they typically don’t pay.
Thank you for the encouraging comment.
Hopefully ebay will eventually address immediate payment.
Agreed. They either pay right away or they never pay.
Thank you for your valuable help and time. I'm just getting ready to list and you are helping me in so many ways. Blessings to you and yours🙏❤️
Thanks so much! I want the videos to be helpful because I want you to be successful. You can do this!
This added so much value. Great video. You took the time to help your listeners, I can definitely take the time to say thank you so much.
Thank you so much
Always great content, Scott. Love to watch and learn from you.
Thank you again. You are always so supportive.
Thank you Scott! I’m new to reselling as well. Lots to learn! - Loretta
I'm glad you're here and truly hope there will be times I'm helpful
Super valuable information as always Scott! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos ☺️
Thank you!!! I appreciate the comment.
I’m having to cancel at least 1/2 of my weekly sales bc of these people! But YES! I am Absolutely on board w being able to check what a person says about another seller. Bc that’s says EVERYTHING I need to know about that “buyer”.
You are a difference maker, thank you for making everything easy to understand 😊
So kind. Thank you so much!
I knew about the blocking, but again you showed me something new. Thanks as always Scott!
Thank you, Sue!
Thanks for the info. I have had numerous problems with buyers not paying.
I hope this proves helpful.
Recently discovered your videos and I can say they are the most informative on how to sell on Ebay that I have ever seen. Subscribed and thumbs up for you!
Thank you so much. I'm still learning and trying to get better at these, too. The whole goal is to create videos that are truly helpful and encouraging.
Thank you so much! I'm new to this and you're helping me tremendously!! Y'all are such a blessing!!
You are so welcome!
Another learning moment and eBay tool I didn’t know about! Thank you for always providing such valuable information!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, LeAnn!!
I find value in EVERY one of your videos. Thanks.
Thank you!
You are super awesome! I love watching your videos. They are simple to follow and straight to the point. As a Wife, Mother and Owner of three small businesses my time is limited and I appreciate that you don’t waste it. There is always good information in your videos. Thanks!
Such awesome feedback. Thank you so much.
Newbie here! So glad I found your channel! You have been so helpful ☺️! Thanks so much!
Helpful is the goal! Thank you so much
Awesome tips. Thanks! Great mystery box you sent to Able!
I think he had fun opening it. I hope he makes some money off the stuff.
Scot thanks for your always help, this is something even no new resellers dont know and no body speak about it… Thanks 🙏 for your help
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much! I’m new and I just did what you show. Thank you I’m a follower now. I’m so tire of this fake buyers,but I’m still here!! Thanks again 🤗
Awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this video. I just had a buyer not pay. I am going to make these changes right now!
I honestly think it helps.
Thank you Scott for sharing this!! I had 5 sales with no payment last week and had to cancel 2 big sales after the buyer didn't pay or reply to my payment reminders :( Not sure if its the time of year this situation happens more often, or just a coincidence, but I greatly appreciate your tips and have now put them in place!!
Hopefully, it'll help some! I also think the time of the year makes a difference.
New follower 🎉 thank you for all the great and awesome tips!! ⭐️
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. I had to learn on my own how to block a rather scary buyer and block them from contacting me on my own. It was quite stressful to say the least. Great tips for non-payers! I cross list so when someone has my item "captive" I have to take it down from all sites until they decide to pay...or not.
Isn't that frustrating? Ebay needs to fix this.
Awesome! Very helpful video, Thanks! Been getting buyers lately who say they will pay upfront and don’t. I’ll never believe that again. Keep up the great videos!
From a seller standpoint, it seems like such an easy fix. Just require payment. OR, leave my item available so someone else could purchase it while the buyer gets their funds together.
Another great video! I like your videos because they are to the point and I always learn something. Appreciate you!
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate them.
You always make a difference Scot! The willingness to teach others is just incredible. And I just learned another thing from you as always! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Hugs to you and Melody! - Koko
Thank you, KOKO!
All they have to do is make a new account.. I made my account in about 5 min & I suck at computers! So it would take these guys if they're pro"s probably around 2 minutes😂 basically none of these things you mentioned would apply to them because they get to start all over again.
Thank you so much for sharing this great information ! As a new Ebay seller I really appreciate all your videos !
I'm hoping to create some helpful content. Thank you for watching and commenting
Thank you sir, I'm getting closer to actually listing some items.
You can do this!
Had my first non payer today after almost 60 sales.
Thanks for the video 😊
Ugh. I had one last week. I'm sorry that happened
Thank you 🙏 million times I’m new reseller with the help of your advices like this one. And yes it happened to me twice 😤😩and what upset me the most that had very high numbers of watchers and I lost that too by listing it for second time 😢.
It really stinks. It's definitely happened to me, too.
I am almost ready to start selling for the very first time. Your videos and information have been so valuable. Thank you!
I love hearing that! I want them to be helpful.
Thanks for all that you do! I just incorporated these changes on my account.
Thank you so much! I hope these work for you, too.
Thank you Scot! I appreciate, as always, the tutorial :)
I really appreciate you watching!
I sure appreciate all the help you are giving to us new eBay sellers! thank you for sharing👍
:-) You are the best. You are exactly who I was talking about at the end of the video. You have always been supportive and I truly appreciate you.
00
This just happened to me. Thank you for sharing the settings. I will definitely be setting them.
I hope it helps some!
Thank you for all you do!! Blessings 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Great tutorial. Having one non-paying bidder after just starting to sell again. This is a welcome lesson. Thanks
I hope it proves helpful!
Thank you!!!! I’ve been selling for years and forgot to do this. Great advice.
I think it help us avoid some issues. :-)
I’m about to start listing. Thanks for all your guidance. I have subscribed.
I truly appreciate that. I'm still learning and working towards making the most helpful videos that I possibly can. I appreciate you being here.
Excellent tips, Scot!
Thank you!!!
Thank you! You have helped me alot to figure things out. I am about a month into selling; not a store but thinking of the transition. Wish me luck! P.S. I am in Alaska ;here shipping is a challenge.
I bet shipping is a challenge! Everything is far away
Thanks for addressing this big problem!
Now...if only eBay would address it. 😆
Awesome Video! Just had a deadbeat win an item I had on auction that had buyers remorse. Looked at the buyers past, and there were many negative comments on this buyer. Thank you for this video! New to Ebay and now know how to handle this situation because of your video.
I hope it proves helpful!
Brand new to this thank you so much for the information I'm probably going to be watching all your videos all day, just what I needed to get motivated make some room in my closets!😊
Awesome! Thank you!
You can also check on a different page to see how many times this feature has blocked bad potentially bad purchases. I had 11 in one month.
Can you imagine that headache?
It. Works.
Oh wow! I learned something! I did not know that
When I list an item, I always choose "Require Immediate Payment" under Preferences.
Same here.
Thanks, Scott!
Thanks for the great information!
This info was super helpful seeing as how I deal with a significant amount of non payers
It helps get rid of the worst offenders.
Thanks Scot! Great info here!
Thanks so much, Cast Iron Rob! :-)
I really enjoy your videos-you have given me so many ways to problem solve-and yes, I have had a few crickets,,,thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!
Thank Goodness for you ! You are such a blessing !
You are very kind. Thank you.
I'm currently having a problem with a buyer thahk you for your advice great help
I hope it proves helpful
Valuable information! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your help! Your videos are great!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Best EBay teacher on UA-cam. Your videos are making EBay easier for this technology challenged newbie. Thank you!!!
I truly appreciate that. Thank you.
This is very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for taking time to make this video!! Very helpful information to a new seller like me :)
Valuable information, Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Very informative and helpful video. I just had someone tie up an item for a week. I looked at the profile and there are feedback that showbthey have done it at least 3 other times. Now I know l can check feedback before accepting an offer. Thanks again. New subscriber
I appreciate that! I hope you find some helpful stuff in the videos.
Your videos are great. You're an awesome teacher, and make things so easy to understand. I'm feeling almost brave enough to get started.
You can do it! And I truly appreciate the kind words.
Thank you this info is Amazing! in my first 7 items sold, i have had 1 not pay and 1 return.. Very discouraging! But after waching this video I feel so much better...
This won't fix everything, but it might help. I hope it does for you.
I love your channel! I just stumbled across you today!
Thank you so much! That is such an encouraging thing to hear.
The only good advice on this subject on the all of UA-cam . Thank you sir.
I have already done all these steps prior to watching
. I was just looking for extra info.
Also an extra bit for everyone is one has to wait the 4 business days required in to cancel an order for nonpayment. I know it’s tempting to cancel the order and just re-post your item but we must stick to your guns on this one and wait it out. That way the that account gets a ding or mark for nonpayment. I don’t know if eBay even does anything about that or do buyers just get a slap on the hand ? but if plenty of us do it I’m pretty sure it will make a difference, so wait it out everyone. Thanks again
I agree 100% with the need to wait. The font helps if, for no other reason, it allows sellers to filter them out for nonpayment. Thanks!!
I love you and Melody ! You two inspire me.
Thank you so very much.
Two huge helps in one day lol appreciate that!
😀 I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thanks for the tutorial! Really appreciate the knowledge that you’re sharing with new ebay sellers like myself. Your videos are really informative and interesting to watch and you seem like a genuinely nice guy!
I truly, truly appreciate the kind words. I genuinely want the videos to be helpful and encouraging.
Great video. I appreciate your help. Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you so much you are definitely a wealth of knowledge for all us newbies, lol. Thank you so much. Being new I have a slow time on getting sales, I was watching this and got a sale in the middle of it. Lol, You truly are the Cha Ching King, 😁😁😁
Lol...you manifested it!!!
thank you, thank you! eBay agents have never correctly explained this to me.
I hope it's helpful!
As usual great info thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is such great information and so helpful! I've been selling on eBay for years and never knew this was an option! I know it's been at the top of the list for many of us eBay sellers for eBay to require immediate payment but we're still waiting so this will hopefully resolve some of the non payment issues! THANK YOU from Katy, TX!
I keep hearing that eBay is moving in this direction. And there's been a few times recently that I'm gotten immediate payment when I took and offer. But, I still want to block people that just don't pay.
I'm new to eBay selling. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome! I hope the videos are helpful
Great video! Excellent advice. 😊
Thank you so much!
Great video. I recently had that happen to someone reselling. The person made an offer and it was excepted without thinking to look at the profile, turns out the individual made an ebay on January 6th 2023. Lol. They said they'll just have to sit and wait and be more proactive to look at buyer page next time. That's for the useful information. I don't understand why people buy and item they don't want to pay for. It's all apart of the process.
I'd like to tell you that this will 100% fix it, but it won't. But it should help. If it keeps even one of the non-paying buyers away, I'm happy with it.
Thank you it helped a lot!
6:37 I don’t like the new automatic payment EBay just did. I rather use my PayPal.
I've adjusted. I do like that a buyer can't get a second chance to appeal with PayPal
@@TheChaChingKing what are they appealing? (I am a buyer, not a seller)
I like the old way of paying after I win multiple items so I can do combined shipping.
Ah! That makes sense. Let's say a buyer bought something and never returned it, but wanted their money back. If eBay told them they couldn't get a refund, they could turn around and appeal it to PayPal.
5:27 why would people not pay for what they bought? 🤔 makes no sense
Agreed. I have no idea at all. If I put an offer in or accept an offer, I want the item and pay for it.
Thanks again for the help! *runs to sellers hub* 😊
Lol...do it!
very informative! thank you!
I appreciate you watching!
This is great information. As a ebay newbie reseller, this is not common knowledge. Thanks for sharing and putting us in the know.
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice 😊😊
Thank you so much!
Good one!
Thank you so much for this. Im in England and i have been a private ebayer for around 13 years. Ive never had any major issues with people not paying, but recently in the last two months, ive experienced it so much! Its wild. I mustve had it happen 6 times in two weeks.
Currently experiencing this with a repeat offender who purchased an eyeshadow palette off me just over two weeks ago, didnt pay, even after countless reminders. I was simply ghosted.
I relisted the item, and i notice that theyve won the same item again, and now im sat here awaiting for payment again and with no response to my messages. I just cannot understand it all.
Your video has been a God send as i havent really noticed the sections you talk about so i'll give that a go. Thank you so much ❤
I hope it's helpful and I hope that it stops happening. I know it's frustrating.
Had this happen to me. Found out the buyer was selling the same type of item. Tied up mine so they could try to sell theirs at a higher price. Dirty tricks on eBay. I went to report them and their low follower account was gone. :( Thank you so much for these videos and for the encouragement. My husband and I started our account 4 months ago. It's slow going right now, but when we can find the time to invest, we're hoping to make a little extra this year.
I hope you are able to add all you could possibly need. Thank you for the kind words
I think this is whats happening to me, but the buyer is using two different accounts of course.
Brand new here and to reselling. Thank you so much :)
Thank you for watching!
Great tip. Thanks Cha Ching King
Thank you for watching!!!
Been selling for almost a year now and all of the sudden I am having this issue with people not paying for items and getting no communication from them with Reminders. Did not know these buyer restrictions existed. Great video. Thanks for the help.
I hope it helps. We will all still fight it until eBay steps up, but this may help.
They don't pay I'll cancel the order and put it on my Sell page info what they did, they are asking to contact outside of ebay which is breaking contract in first place ebay needs to get on their stuff
Pure Gold , I wish I would’ve found you 6 months ago
Super kind. Thank you so much.
In all my years of selling, I've had my 1st buyer not pay last week. So odd too. 1st they sent a low ball offer. After that rejection, they doubled their offer which I accepted. Then no payment. I sent a nice reminder message and nothing...so I let the 4 days pass to relist. I implemented your suggestions. Thank you, new subscriber here ✋️
Isn't it at least a little bit odd that people go to the trouble of making multiple offers just to ghost us? I've been exactly where you are at.
I think it’s possibly boredom and trolling. Send an offer just to see if you accept. I have honestly heard of people getting into a bidding war and just because they don’t want to lose the auction they continue to outbid the other potential buyer and then never pay
My god I would have paid you for this information. Thank You! great quality video quick, informative and so helpful. Thank you from the little guys!
LOL...thank you so much. :-)
I'm debating putting offers to items $12 and above. Reason why I don't is there seems to be a huge benefit to store traffic so I just spam counter offer back until the buyer declines or stops offering a non profitable amount. Usually I'll write a sentence if they don't go up on their offer and offer the same thing again. Not sure what else I could do but I do know sending out offers is a boost to the account. When they spam back a low ball offer it honestly makes me hope that they don't buy it, what I'm trying to trigger is it jumping to the next interested buyer more quickly by sending offers on it, which has happened a lot. People paying full price after they wont accept my offer.
I don't accept offers on any item below $12...or offers that would make an item less than $12. Just not worth my time.
thanks Scot....
You're welcome!
Scot your videos are so helpful and I am learning so much. I am sure I will avoid some "roadblocks" in my Ebay journey! I have been doing Etsy for a few years with very few sales ( in my opinion). I hand make leather goods and was never sure if I could sell them on Ebay as well. Im thinking if I am on both platforms maybe casting a wider net may help increase my sales. Anyway thanks for your videos they help a lot. However I need to quit watching videos, and get to work making stuff !! haha!
I love handmade leather stuff! Do you make wallets? Belts? Purses? I think adding ebay could be great. I love Etsy, too.
@@TheChaChingKing Yes sir, wallets belts, just a few small purses, knife sheaths, leather tote bags... you get the idea ! I never knew I could sell these on ebay. I thought it all had to be used or resale items. I never spent much time on ebay until a few months ago. I guess I am not correct ! Good lesson learned maybe !
@@fredpfeiljr6450 If I needed another hobby, this could very well be it.
