Lately I’ve been seeing a proliferation of 0-feedback accounts that make offers and then disappear when it’s time to pay.They do it to test the price, to mess with sellers, but very often because they don’t realize that making an offer on a platform like this is a commitment, and that the right of withdrawal applies with a full refund only if the seller agrees too.This behavior, besides being against eBay’s rules, is particularly annoying for whoever is selling and ends up wasting time, and maybe even for the buyer who came in second and gives up. What could eBay do to identify and possibly charge costs to these people?Why doesn’t it ask for some proof at registration to uniquely identify the person?Disqualification or cancellation doesn’t faze them one bit; five minutes later they create another user with fake details and start over.
