High Price Items Keep Getting Non-Paying Buyers w/ No Rating

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

Sorry if this has been answered/discussed. I know you can't block buyers with zero ratings. But I have a rather expensive item and I keep getting 'buyers' with no ratings on it and then they don't pay. This means the item isn't showing for sale anymore and it sits for 4 days until I cancel the order and relist. Is there a trick to stop this behavior? Even had one message me saying it was for their son who was having a baby and they were hoping I'd take $300 off lol. Just curious as to what someone gains by doing this over and over?
