buyer not paying the item after their offer is accepted

it is but it would be up to you to take it to the small claim court to try and get the money, most will just relist and move on after a week.

trademe should refund the listings fees.

Thank you both for your comments. I will look into my opinions.

Thanks spicyy,

Yes i will blacklist this person " and i will take them to tribunal. Its just very annoying and upsetting when i already have my hands full with other things. This listing is not a small amount and with the "sold" price revealed it compromised our ability to resell at a premium price. We actually don't mind to sell to some good people who would appreciate the quality of the product at a reasonable price they can best offer. but certainly not this type of scambag.
Thanks everyone out there for your support.

I not sure if you can put traders names in this forum, Callum might know.
