From the Bitches Auxiliary: Non Paying Buyers Rant

I am a buyer, seller, and forum user sick and tired of sellers bitching about non paying buyers, asking how long a buyer has to pay, how to deal with a non paying buyer and about non paying buyers leaving negative feedback ect. I understand sellers frustration I am not tired of them just this issue being brought up time and time again. Especially since I think this should have never been an issue in the first place.

Now I may not be the sharpest pencil in the box, but am I only person thinking that a non paying buyer is a contradiction in terms!?!? How can someone be a buyer if they did not pay? Why does Etsy send the person who has not paid a confirmation of sale as if they paid? Why is there even a concept of a grace period? How is Etsy claiming to take handmade items and indie business main stream when they are running Etsy like it is the store you had in your 5th grade class room to buy pencils and fun erasers? When paying was done by the honor system? I mean the most basic function of Etsy is to SELL items to people who pay. It pisses me off to no end that Etsy is making the decision to accept a "sale" with out making the buyer pay...which is something I would NEVER do because it is stupid! Why is Etsy trying to make me look like a jackass?

Please Etsy STOP making sales that do not involve me getting paid. Believe it or not I have better things to do than track down a buyer to pay...especially when Etsy leads them to believe that they already paid.
