I just had to share this. In one weeks time I have had to file my 6th npb (non paying bidder). That is sixth npb out of 12 transactions. That is pretty bad, a 50% non paying bidder rate. I think that people really do not feel they have to pay now because they do not risk getting neg feedback. This has truely made selling on ebay very hard for me. About half of these npb are 0 feedback, the other half....feedback of 100+.

Now I communicate with my bidders within 24 hours of the auction end. I send payment reminders. The whole nine. Either I get the payment, but 15 days after the auction ends, or I get excuses. I accept every payment method that is out there, and then some.

What can I do to stop this from happening? Most of my npb from the last 3 months have been 0 feedback. Should I block bids from 0 feedback bidders? I do not want to do this, but I do not see any other way out. We all have to start somewhere. I started with 0, everyone does.

Currently I only carry Singh brand but starting mid June I will be selling Jamila and a brand from Yemen that I have used for a while. I wanted to stay faithful to this one brand but there are so many great crops out there I don't want to be selfish and keep them all to myself. Also I found a great source for some professional design books and jaq bottle applicators. I am not really partial to jaq bottles but if you want them, I will have them.

Any other brands out there you want to see just let me know and I will give them a try.
