He did this twice both times on multiple auctions. You then have to wait over a week before ebay closes the case so you can repost the item.
After the 2nd time I blocked him and will now block any non payer.
I don't understand why people bid on auctions and then not pay. It's not like this guy bid on day 1 and changed his mind on day 7 when the auction ended. The guy bid at the last min. and didn't pay. I am not sure if he was just wanting to get a winners high or just had no impulse control.
I wish ebay would do something more about this.
Not sure if this malicious bidding is what you are seeing as a buyer.
Could be related. My guy's M.O. is to bid steadily throughout the auction, placing a bid after anyone outbids him & probing to outbid by only .50 to a $1. After working the bid up and getting someone into a bidding war, he'll place a final snipe bid with enough time left (like 20-25 seconds) for you to bid again & win by overpaying. So I've traded bids with him up to that point and then let him win by not bidding after his snipe bid, sticking him with the overbid win, which he subsequently doesn't pay for.
Now, it could all just be coincidence and maybe I'm up in the night here, but my gut tells me different. If I had Spidey Sense, it'd be tingling. The whole thing just feels...hinky.
