Could someone please advise me on how to report these users to eBay and how I can get my fees back, which are becoming costly due to having to re-list.
If it makes a difference I’ve been using eBay.co.uk
Thanks.

somewhere there on the ebay page. there is a thing that says Report. I think it’s on the left in the middle of the page. in my EBAY
Sounds like those Nigerian scammers again.NEVER EVER use Paypal for ANY transactions.Paypal is under investigation right now for for many seedy transactions.
Sounds like a payment was never made. That would be necessary for PayPal to be involved. You need to go through the steps in eBay to report a failed transaction.
Try this site page.
Look in eBay under the ‘advice for sellers’ bit… it tells you how to report buyers who do not complete on the sale.
It’s not fraud though… unless you believed they’d paid you (and I think unless you sent them the computer as well). If they just didn’t pay, it’s a non-paying bidder.
But eBay will give you your fees back again and will kick them off if they keep doing it. They will kick attempted fraudsters or fraudsters off straight off though.
