She tried to claim I owed her for the shipping, which was worth more than the item. She tried claiming the item did not match the auction. in the end I won because the shipping she paid in total matched the auction price but it was a pain in the butt.
Another guy just didn't pay, had 100% feedback. I opened a ticket and ebay suggested I close it and relist, I left the ticket open a few weeks and figured they were never going to do anything about it so I relisted the item. Still waiting to sell it.
One guy bought something then gave me a sob story of not being able to pay his rent even though his bid was at the last day. I just let him go. it is not worth the trouble opening a case.
Good luck.
Ebay is nice when the people on the other side are nice.

I would just slam people that wouldn't pay for their auction back when a seller could leave negative feedback. I would toss out things like, Deadbeat, likely goes to cemetery and digs up graves for free jewelry AVOID! Another nonpayment, I guess crack sales must be this week?..DEADBEAT. Must be hard to pay for item when you're back in jail?
I figured I would at least my pound of flesh for wasting my time. I ended up getting a warning from ebay once because my negative feedback was too mean.
I'm done selling anything on ebay.
