Nowadays, many people are increasingly making bids that then are not honored in the event of winning; the reasons can be many, such as keeping an item blocked while, with another account, selling a similar one, or damaging eBay's reputation in favor of other competitors. In any case, these are generally accounts with low feedback, maybe inactive for a while, to be used in these cases, or they could be stolen accounts. I suggest giving sellers the option to activate an ad hoc procedure for those with very low feedback or who haven't placed bids for a long time, already used in normal auctions: whoever is in these conditions and makes a bid will have to pay part of the amount in advance, which will be held by eBay; by the deadline they will have the usual time to pay the balance, if they do not then the seller will be able to cancel the order and collect the deposit. Regards.
