I am currently selling a phone on Ebay and the bidding price is unsually high. The highest bidder is paying way above average for it and the bidder has 0 feedback. He also changed his name 3 times. My question is, if he wins and he doesn't pay, will Ebay still charge me the 5% of the final price? It would suck if he wins, doesn't pay, and Ebay thinks I sold it and charge me 5% of the final price.

I believe you can file a NPB and you may be able to get your fees reversed. Don't quote me on that but that seems like the logical thing they'd do.

Change your preferences in your listing to block "0 feedback" bids....

You can't do that. What you can and SHOULD do is cancel their bid and put their username on the blocked bidders list. Do it NOW, before your auction is done.

Only his listing fees will be refunded. He will still have to pay the "final value fee" (commission).
