Or maybe he is bidding with no intention to pay... you don't need to be "eagerly awaiting e-mails from e-bay sellers" to respond to them.

Kinda simple. But not as simple as being proactive and getting some communication prior to the auction ending. What you suggest is actually a lot of work that could be avoided with a quick email prior to the auction ending.

not if , as i suggested , the bidder is NOT AT HIS COMPUTER to see or respond to e-mails immediately.....he could have placed the bids in the morning before leaving home....since they don't close til saturday , he may not even think about looking at a computer again tonight or even most of tomorrow......kinda hard to answer an e-mail you haven't even seen yet .....

I do know how it works on ebay, having sold stuff from $1.00 up to $2,600, who wants to go thru the hassle you described, and I highly doubt he has "won over 100 items "and not gotten any feedback, as a newbie I always wanted to get my+ feedback to get established, and always tried to give newbies that were fair their + feedback pronto. I think you got a little off base with the whole sitting by the computer thing, but, I appreciate the opinions and will LYK how it plays out, my money is on he is a stiff, and I am a very good in regards to instincts, sometimes, thanks guys..

Update, he bought 4 cards worth about $75 total, I sent the invoice, now we'll see....

i have had more problems with buyers with 1000+ feedback paying than ones with 10 or less

Have to say that of all the stuff I've sold on ebay the majority of the stiffs is 70% newbies and 30% people who do alot of buying. I can honestly say I have had probably 15-30 non payers over 2+ years, and it usually isn't for a lot of money, it's just the aggravation!!
