Great way for eBay to cut back on bad buyers.

This'll probably never going to affect or even become reality but what if they made you have a certain amount of money in your PayPal account before you can start buying on eBay. For instance Jon Snow signs up on eBay today. And he wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. Well instead of this turd being able to put an offer on something and have it accepted he needs to have a minimum of $500 in his PayPal account. Or linked to account through eBay so that the stinking thing can be paid for when he puts the offer in on it . My gosh I've had so many people not pay this month. They put an offer on something and I never hear from them again. And it takes a week. I mean I know everyone else goes for this put gosh when you get 10 or 20 of them a month it's rather annoying! A lot of people also have feedback of over 150. Some even 250 or 300 one guy even had 1500. Never came back! Ugh. End of rant.

Or have to make a deposit on the item when you put the offer on it as a going to pay. I have sold $1500 that people have not paid for and currently awaiting payment for $900. And I have a feeling maybe $250 of that going to be paid for. And i block bidders with all the bad pay or no pay. I don't understand it.

I've never used it but there is a way you can require immediate payment. If someone clicks the buy button it stays listed until they pay through PayPal. Until they do someone else can buy the item. I think you have to have some sort of business PayPal account.

All my buy it now or best offer listings have immediate pay required on them.

This is how the German ebay is. When my daughter was 4 she purchased an Old Town Kayak on ebay for my birthday. A week later it showed up in the really long box addressed to me. My daughter tells me I can not open it until my birthday; I tell her that is like 7 months from now but that her brothers birthday is this month. She tells me you still can not look at it.

I even helped her wrap this massive box. The my sons birthday comes and he is all happy. Later that evening I asked her how she paid for that because we controlled most her funds on her account. She tells me that she got it on my ebay account and has seen me many of times purchase things.

Right away I checked my paypal account and saw it had nothing on it, but that they had just booked it directly off my bank account. I thought that was pretty cool. Still I told my daughter that if she ever buys another Fishing Yak using my account that she can only buy the PA series from Hobie.

So that was like 5 years ago, and that was already in place. I think that it depends on what country you are in and how the local laws are.

Requiring immediate payment only works on BIN. if a buyer uses OBO, then it doesn't work. You can't require immediate payment when they submit an offer.
