Question Problems with eBay

So I listed my laptop on ebay last week and had a bunch of people bid on it but then at the last second a "new user" bid on it and had the winning bid. Now it has been a week since the listing has finished and the guy has yet to pay for it and has not responded to any emails. Now I just did the "unpaid item" claim.
The question I have is do you guys have the same problems selling stuff on ebay? Because for me it seems like every other time I list something on ebay, someone bids on it and then never pays.

There are eBay trolls out there. They do this a lot...bidding on items at the last second before the auction ends. I've read and heard about them. Lots of times, they are from overseas also.

You needa use the buyer filter. It filters out low lifes with 10 or less positive feedbacks.
