Ebay fakers

What is it with Ebay these days?....I sell items on their website and I have had about half a dozen or so, odd bids over the last couple of months where a bid is placed and won by the bidder. I send an invoice and hear no more from them.
I open a case against the bidder and then I can relist my item once Ebay clear this after about 4 days.
I dont understand why they bid as its not as though the bidder can get any of my personal information, presuming they are scammers or do I miss something?

That’s a coincidence, I had a bid last week on an item and heard nothing from the buyer, or had payment. I’ve tried to contact the buyer but had no response.

I've had the same, mindless people with nothing better to do.
When I relist the item I include their name and describe them as a time waster, don't solve the problem just makes me feel better!

I advertised two vehicles for sale a while back on behalf of a friend, I had more issues with stupid questions than anything else, one guy even came to view the vehicle, and when he got there he said he didn't realise it was a van!!

I’ve not yet heard back from ebay, how long is it usual to wait before being able to re list?

.. and what riles me is that you can give them no less than positive feedback.....

Ok thanks, thought I might have been given advice from ebay by now, my listing ended on the 11th, I notified them on the 14th I believe.

I had a recent time-waster that I had to reduce a price on a pair of mg vents for him.I ended up getting a neutral feedback from him complaining about postage costs! As a result ,I left him positive feedback with a message "difficult to deal with"
I tend to block difficult/messers on my eBay block list which helps.
