If the seller doesn't file a complaint about the non-paying buyer, especially on an item this large, but asks Ebay to credit his account for the non-sale I would think that would raise a red flag. I've only had one occasion where I sold an item and did not receive payment. I went throught he 14 day process allowing the buyer to pay up, and then closed it with no payment, meaning the buyer now has a "strike" against him. I believe a 2nd strike results in the suspension of the offender's Ebay account. At the end of the process my Ebay account was credited for the non-payment, and I wasn't charged a percentage for the sale.

Clarke,
Thanks for the great post. I never understood how it worked if the buyer failed to pay. You mention that the seller has to pay a percentage of the sale when the item sells; what is the percentage rate say on a motorhome like the 1993 Newell? I thought that all the seller paid was the listing fee.
