I've recently noticed a sharp increase of bidders on eBay winning auctions and then refusing to pay. This rarely used to be a problem but obviously without the threat of negative feedback they can literally get away with anything even "trying it on" and asking for discounts after winning the auction thinking they've got the seller over a barrel...in a way I suppose they have, as the seller either accepts or loses the sale; I always choose the latter.
Few of these have been jacket buyers but I just had one, an Andrew Nguyen eBay ID 69_sbk so I thought I'd warn others here so they could add him to their blocked bidders list - maybe others could offer up the ID's of other timewasters or troublemakers and offer, if not exactly protection, at least a warning that eBay feedback used to give? We could even have a sticky thread of some kind of "bad traders" list like some other forums compile, that would list both bad sellers and buyers.
