Lately, I've been bombarded with deadbeat bidders on eBay. At least 6 out of the last 10 auctions resulted in me leaving nasty feedback on the bidder after repeated attempts of completing the transaction.
I've resorted to putting a caveat in my auctions that tell potential bidders that "I reserve the right to retract bids by those who have negative feedback or bidders with less than 10 positive feedbacks." I would rather lose the bid than have to put up with someone who does not intend to honor their obligations.
Any tips on preventing deadbeats? I would surely appreciate them.

As for the bad rap about the characters--hey, I've seen space operas that put their emphasis on human personalities and relationships. They're called "Star Trek" movies. Give me transparent underwater cities and vast hollow senatorial spheres any day. --Roger Ebert on The Phantom Menace
