it doesn't happen too often, but there are those that either do not pay or take a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time to pay. With some of the slow pays, I know that they will eventually pay because of dealings in the past, so I just wait & send reminders. On those few occasions where a buyer doesn't pay, I send all of my correspondence through eBay, file a "Non-Paying Bidder" notice (in order to reverse the charges) and then as a final closer -- leave them negative feedback. And I do block them from bidding on future auctions. Steve B
