New rules: Ebay: Targeting late buyers and new discount possibilities

Ebay is introducing new measures to tackle unreliable buyers and those who make frivolous bids. Sellers can now immediately cancel transactions if payment is not made within four calendar days of purchase, and late buyers will receive a non-payment notation on their account. Repeat offenders with excessive unpaid items or cancellations due to non-payment may face buying limits or account restrictions.

Additionally, Ebay is allowing sellers to offer discounts to buyers who have been watching an item or have it in their cart for two days, with the discount being at least 5% off the buy-it-now price.
