unfortunately I cannot take credit for this little trick because I did not come up with it but it still worked so I thought I would pass it along.
For those of you that do business on eBay a lot, you notice that the amount of Non Paying bidders has increased. here is a way that will get a lot of them to pay up
Use a secondary userid for ebay. Contact the non-paying bidder on eBay using the secondary id. Give them some long story on how you have been searching for this item for a long time and you were unable to get it. offer them a price that is considerably higher than the ending price of the auction and say you will pay shipping charges too if they will let you buy the item off them.
9 times out of 10 the non paying bidder will be thrilled thinking they are going to make easy money that he/she will decide to pay you for the item thinking that they will get double what they paid for it. After the non-paying bidder decides to pay you, just stop all communication using the secondary id.
it's a great method and it really works not to mention that the non-paying bidder will get pissed at you secondary id and there is nothing they can do about it.
