I've never sold on eBay or anywhere for that matter, but I was afraid of the retaliatory negative feedback. Back when sellers
could leave negatives, I had sellers who extorted positives out of me.

I'm surprised Google hasn't gotten into the auction/sell site business. I think Google would be the only viable company to actually go up against ebay.
Collecting: Auto's, G/U Jsy/Bat, Refractors, etc.., Harper, Trout, Jeter, Mantle, Rivera, Pujols,Ripken, Griffey Jr, Heyward, Cal Ripken Jr., Posey,
Other Auto's, GU cards will be considered

You can file non-paying bidder cases after 2 days now. There really is no reason why people shouldn't be able to pay quickly (within a day). Literally everyone has smartphones now, so paying is literally as easy as one tap of the finger. If you need time to pay then you need to contact the seller prior to bidding.

That's what I do. IF there's a card that I want, I email them and see IF they'll allow me to Pay at a later date. Most are quite accommodating.

RE: Just pay for your items already!
I am 100% accommodating to buyers that email me and ask for extended time to pay, or even before they bid they email me and ask, I don't mind at all. I know there are times when something pops up I want, and I won't have the funds until a few days after the auction ends.

RE: Just pay for your items already!
After all was said and done, only 1 item wasn't paid for. A couple buyers waited until the last minute to pay, but one guy didn't at all. He was the one I checked his 100% feedback and found that 3 sellers left positive feedback to warn sellers that this guy doesn't pay.
So now I got a $5.00 credit. I guess I'll have to sell some more...lame.
