Listed with BIN or BO. Got an offer, accepted it but no payment was
forthcoming. Had email exchange with buyer who said he would pay, have had
to start a dispute which is 'waiting for buyer response'.
If I relist this before the dispute is finished will I still get the fees
refunded or do I need to wait.
Ta.
You need to wait just to be 100% sure he doesn't pay. How long ago did
you start the dispute?
3 days I think. How long do ebay give him to procrastinate?
Had the same; a buyer who claimed they didnt know that clicking "enter
your best offer" (or whatever the terminology is) obligated them to
buy.
Got my FVF back by cancelling the transaction but lost my listing fee.
Will be closing my eBay account just as soon as they let me.
Why didn't you just report him as a non paying bidder and get fvf and
listing fees back.
It is quite clear that when you enter a best offer that you are
obligated to buy should the seller accept it.
Well he paid eventually and has now bought something else from me a week ago
and hasn't paid for that.
He left me good feedback for the first transaction so I am guessing he is
just a useless **** and am confident i'll get paid. Time of year doesn't
help I suppose.

Maybe he wanted to combine P&P on multiple purchases, but didn't win
the second item.
There's an easy answer to this, if you're willing. Make it Immediate Payment
Required and set up automatic acceptance of a BO level.
Daft sod.
AFAIAW you cannot specify immediate payment for a best offer.
<Nods>
That's happened to me before now. Both buying and selling.

Because I was stupid enough to honour their request to cancel the
transaction.
It's called behaving decently.
Sadly, because eBay have removed my right to neg the buyer (they didnt
even respond to the dispute) I'm out of pocket, hence one less eBayer
just as soon as I can.
Indeed I did. ;)

And equally sadly, you behaved decently, but Ebay don't. So, as you
imply,they lose sellers.
You use the words honour and decently yet you would have still negged
the buyer if you could have?
I think ebay may well be shot of you.
Well what would you do if someone effectively closed one of your auctions
and then refused to pay leaving you out of pocket?
Happy New Year everybody

Well he hasn't paid for the item he bought 8 days ago and I have nothing
else currently listed so I think he is probably just a tool.
I don't mind too much but I like to get stuff in the post and draw a line
under it.
It turns out he is an x-factor reject. Sing 'em a song Della.
I'm not sure either, because they can specify 'terms' when they make the
offer.
If you set an auto accept level, I believe you can then make it immediate
payment required.
