Is it just the holiday season which brings out the newbie buyers who place an
order and then are in the wind about payment?

I've opened my store to allow 2 new buyers to purchase from me - didn't
have enough fb to do a manual invoice and my lot limits were low. They place
the order and then vanish, no payments. I've opened 2 NPB cases in the last
2 weeks .

I have reset my lot limits and expanded my shipping so IC can accommodate larger
orders in hopes this will fix the problem and send them to IC instead. I now
have 1 huge order , waiting for payment and it ties up my parts for 2 weeks -
5 days to open the NPB and 7 days to close. Not sure why BL cannot adjust the
close time frame.

Just wondering how other sellers handle these buyers - they don't communicate
or if the communicate it's along the lines of "can you wait a month for
payment", like I have lay-away plans ( LOL).

thanks

Got the same at the moment on one order but luckily not a huge number of parts.
The only option i see that you have is to cancel the order rather than go NPB
and then ban them from shopping in your store.

Thanks. Not going to cancel , just file NPB . It doesn't teach the buyer
anything if I cancel and then I cannot leave Neg fb without getting it in return.
I just wish BL would allow the NPB to close after 5 days after NPB opened.
