Have had a problem of late, with people winning multiple auctions, and the paying instantly using checkout.
The problem is that these people are not waiting for the WBN,s and are not including shipping costs in their payments as checkout does not show them.
Does Ebay allow a big banner headline that says
"PLEASE DO NOT USE CHECKOUT" at the top of the auction.
I realise that this is not a life or death problem, but it is annoying.
Any advice would be greatly received

I found a place in the seller preferences on eBay that you can elect to not have the Checkout icon visible in your listings. The only craveat is this will only be true of new auctions, but not ones currently running. We also put a message in the TOS asking bidders to not use checkout. It helped, I guess. We had a number of bidders who didn't include any shipping. Of course, for every one person who CAN'T read there at least a half-dozen who WON'T. (I am guilty of this myself sometimes.)
