why does ebay suck so badly?

Another attempted car sale on ebay, another flake bidder. Why does this happen every time? This is the 4th car I've sold (or attempted to sell) on ebay, and each time it's had to be relisted at least once because the winning bidder wasn't serious.

The car sold yesterday around 3pm. 3:26am he sends this email: "can i get your phone number i want to finance the car and are you paying for the shipping". That's it - the entire contents of the message. WTF? It's 2:15 now and I just sent him a harsh email saying pay or we'll offer it to someone else.

You can't leave negative feedback for buyers (lame rule change a while ago) and the resolution suggestions aren't helpful at all. Why can't there be a 5th option "ask for buyer's address so you can punch him in the face"?

ok, rant over.
