Hi Everyone, 

Quick question for those that have expierenced selling on Ebay, I'd heard there were issues like this with people bidding up to make their comparitive listings better. Any suggestions for when this happens? I sold a few of my Aaron Judge cards, and I'm a little dissapointed they haven't paid yet, especially since he's been on a tear (grand slam last night).. I don't think there is much I can do? I'm hoping it's a case of waiting for a paycheck, and not a illegitmate bid, however, I haven't heard back from the buyer at all (they have good reviews too)

How long has it been?   After a certain period of time (5 days I beleive),  Ebay will allow you to file a non payer claim that will remind the buyer to pay.   Other than that, you're right.    Not much you can do except wait to get your fees refunded from Ebay and Re list.    There are shady tactics to boost cards thru this process of bidding highest and not paying.   Some people do it for spite, some do it to pump up a card/listing of like or same, and some just truly regret the purchase and hope to not pay.   The last one should have the courtesty to request that you cancel the sale for whatever reason, but even those are fake sometimes.    So much fun until they do something about bidders not paying by handing out negative strikes and auto block periods.  

Welcome to the great world of Ebay. This is a reason why I stopped to sell there a long time ago. I am not to turn you off, but Ebay is no more fun as it used to be and the site always finds to new ways to annoy everybody. They live on their etablished name notoriety and the lack of direct concurrence (other than Amazon), otherwise it would had hit them hard. That's why trading here is so much fun too. :)

I have had this happen a few times.  I wait until ebay opens a case against the buyer.  For me it is almost 90% of the time the person does not pay and then I am able to relist the item.  I them add that ebay user to my banned list.  There has been a few cases where the buyer did pay after the case was opened.

Hi Y'all, just figured I'd update, I was able to "cancel" on the 9th, but I waited since it was a weekend anyways, and the person paid early morning on the 10th... I thought it was odd they never replied, but hoping I'm in the clear. I agree though almost too much trouble, takes away the joy from it.
