Feature Better Handling Of Non-Paying Bidders

Looks good but if someone got trigger happy then after decided to reverse the warning, is such an option available?

 

Thanks for giving optimized solution @simplyjo you must be happy now this is solution of your question

* but still it is big problem when an Indian member is seller and another Indian is bidder
I think Indian seller should add PS in this there that "Indian members do not Bid"

 

Ya that's correct, I guess after a week it's fairly obvious it wouldn't get resolved by exchanging PM's. (Unless of course there were some kind of extenuating circumstances)
Thanks for clarifying.

 

hmm I also think 7 Days are enough time if bidder really wants to pay..so after 7 days if seller takes this kind of action on him so will they get 1 warning point or any other restrictions are also applied like he/she cannot bid for any sell thread for next 7 days etc..?

 

Already raised this concern via pm to shawn yet i think shawn may not going to implement anything for that

 

That's good enough

seller should not allow Indian to Bid also seller can write Indian member can PM me..we should not forget this it is problem of Paypal & RBI not digital point

 

Hi. Yes I am glad DP sorted out this issue, which was a major concern for all honest sellers and buyers. DP marketplace is more protected now and I can already see the jump in sales and action on DP in lieu of the new rules. Super effort by mods for constantly exceeding our expectations.

* Yes, the India to India paypal payment is a big concern . However, its a constraint by Paypal so DP can't do much about it. The only way around it is to get paid via MB or bank and cancel the bid (without issuing any warning) - This also depends on the trust factor between buyer and seller. Also, there is no way to get feedback this way.. but atleast there wont be a negative warning.

 

Thanks for quoting .I know its Paypal and RBI issue but atleast we can do is update the same in DP rules and when any indian bidder going to bid on any thing ,one confirm note should show that "You're from India and you're going to bid on indian member bid " .It will only help buyers to improve their ratings rather than get mark of unpaid .

 

This does not appear to be an option for my recent auction (with a non paying bidder). I can cancel his bid, but there isn't the option to mark it as non payed. His is the problem auction: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/webmaster-forum-webmaster-forums-us.2690745/

It would also be nice if I could immediately re-list the auction, instead of waiting for a 30 day bump.

 

Argh!
I was looking at the time of the bid, not the time of the auction end - my bad. This worked perfectly.

Thanks.

 

Another questions - I see that you mentioned this:

• Bidder is the last bidder (prevents a seller from going through all the bids and issuing warnings for them all by canceling each bid)

And I understand why, but does this mean that their bid wasn't binding? I'd like to PM the number two bidder (since the first was a non-payer), but is this in accordance with the DP rules? Meaning, is the number 2 bidder obligated to pay if 1 doesn't?
