Had someone use a BIN on an item today on an auction ending today.
I send the WBN out, and get this reply:
"cancel the order...I WILL NOT BE PURSHASING THIS ITEM BECAUSE I HAEV FOUND IT FOR A CHEAPER PRICE"
So I wrote them back and thanked them for "wasting our time and money".
Not a big cracking, but I'm frustrated with NPB lately.

I can totally relate to the frustration. There is a new wave of Ebayer out there that thinks this is Walmart.

I would immediately write back to her and say, since this auction has ended with your BIN you are responsible to complete the auction, but since you are not interested in this auction and you wish to cancel I require that you send me (what every money you want) to cover all my expenses, eBay fees and imaging hosting fees. See what she says. Also remind her that when she signed up for ebay that she acknowledged that a bid is a binding contract.

At least you can put them through the FVF process. This type of scum should be tossed immediately, unfortunately it is stacked against sellers, as ebay doesn't care since they still make money on you not completing the process.

I know this is for the birds, but it is going to happen to all of us. File the NPB so that it is on their record, then you can file an FVF & get your commission back.

I always do NPB/FVF, but generally don't leave NEGs for deadbeats. It's just too risky.
In a case like this, I'd make an exception and blast him.

Does the mutual agreement FVF count against the buyer? I can never remember.

I would guess not, but this certainly is not mutual!

Biggest joke I have heard for the decade. How do you bind someone to $0.99 contract on Ebay. ??
Please tell me how.

I would check to see if they did actually bid on another item. It has the smell of one of your competitors ridding your item from competition. And even if it is legite, do not let them off of the hook. File NPB and FVF using the person did not send payment reason. Do not mutually agree to not complete the auction. You are out the fees, make this loser pay as well.

I just checked and he is the high bidder on another one. It ends in 3 days... I hope it goes for much more than he paid for mine.

Risky. Hmm. Well, I can agree with that if you mean you risk wasting your time by filing a negative feedback for a deadbeat. Might as well pound on a deceased equine for all the good it'll do.
But risky?
Risky is splitting two sevens at blackjack. (Might also come under the "stupidity" column.)
Risky is running across five lanes of freeway traffic. (Ditto.)
Risky is flying into a thunderstorm. (Most definitely ditto.)
Since anyone can give you a negative feedback at any time for any reason (just arrange to win one of your auctions), I just can't see why worrying about the possibility of getting one is high on anyone's list. Nobody cares. Except you.

And by splitting sevens, you just made two lousy hands out of one.
Consider. Odds are you will receive a face card on one or both sevens. You can't win with two seventeens unless the dealer busts (unlikely).
A seventeen, statistically speaking, can always be considered a losing hand.
See Edward Thorp's "Beat the Dealer" and Lawrence Revere's "Playing Blackjack as a Business".
Please, Tom, promise me you won't take flying lessons.

17 is a good number to stop at, but on average it takes 18.5 to beat the house and win.
Splitting 7's can work depending on what the dealer has and if you've been paying attention tothe cards coming out. Splitting 8's and Aces is a far better move
What I could never stomach was the dim bulbs that split 10's.
