At least that is the way it is supposed to work. But how can you tell. While Ebay does allow us to view feedbacks and other information about Ebayers, the one thing they refuse to let us see is the unpaid strikes.
As we all know Ebay does favor buyers in many areas, so when they say they will give a strike , I do wonder how factual that is. I for reasons out of my control received an unpaid strike, but it doesn't register on my account or at least nowhere that I could see it.
I think like the No Negative Feedback to buyers, unpaid strikes went like the DOE DOE . I do think if some buyers grossly misrepresents himself in a common practice of not completing purchases , Ebay may step in, but I don't think they register strikes like they advertise. He or she is a buyer after all.
If you don't think eBay issues non-payment strikes how do you explain the list of buyers (blocked buyer activity list) who are blocked because they have 2 strikes in the past 12 months?

Thanks for the link, I knew it existed, but I always wondered where eBay had that info buried.
I checked and I see that in the last 60 days I had 2 buyers blocked because they had too many unpaid strikes.

Many years ago there was a discussion group on eBay.com where buyers were... targeted.
The sellers were a very, very vicious group. It was very hard to read the discussions.

Today we also have a ... Report a buyer .....option.......It is the responsibility of a seller to Report a Buyer.
Both buyers.... and sellers.... must understand that having too many "Report a Buyer" situations can put someone in the wrong.
Also it is the type of report that must be considered.... How "bad" was the buyer.....
and eventually a buyer could end up in trouble....
And that's the way it is supposed to work. The question is how many times a buyer needs to be reported and how many times does a buyer need to non pay on a transaction before Ebay Excommunicates a Buyer.
We do have the ability to block buyers only after they have committed the act. If Ebay would act on non payers , reported buyers or even sellers, then maybe we would not have to deal as much with these individuals.
Case and point.( I have to use sellers as an example because I can't see negs for buyers.)I have seen and Im sure many have seen as well some pretty bad rating for some sellers, but there they are. I've seen where sellers are gouging buyers with shipping charges, but there they are. Im sure the same consideration is given to Buyers?
If Ebay could be more transparent about their buyers as they are with sellers it would make for a better community. Not saying we should give negs, just a bit better history of the buyer.
