Hi guys and gals
Ive got some bits of sale on fleabay, the item in question is a fuel filter. Now there is a chap bidding on it with sero feedback, i don't mind as everyone has got to start somewhere, but they have been on ebay since 2003 and bought our sold nothing.
Suspicious? Should i block them and cancel their bid?
Cheers
J

If there are other bids then cancel his, if his is the only bid then let him win and see what happens - it cant cost much to relist a fuel filter (worst case). If it was a car or something then I`d just sod him and cancel it, I`ve given weird bidders like this chances before and it doesnt usually pay.

Well another chap as bid, and there are 10 people watching it, so i think i may cancel the weird bidder. Ill send him one more mail, if no reply arrives then hes a gonner J

don't feel bad about it, the way to build up feedback is to get a couple of 99p CDs on buy it now, not mess about trying to outbid experienced users on stuff they want. He`ll either figure this out or whistle Dixie!

have you looked to see if the zero rater has bids on other items?
or could another of your bidders decided against bidding and covered the bid with a zero feedback account?

Username looks like a crock just like the one for the -1 feedback bidder that outbid a genuine guy on my Xantia then made no contact. (high bidder had bought loads of Xantias, all good feedback then Mr -1 feedback came along with a weird username and outbid him by a pound, I bizarrely gave him a chance and I now regret it!

I recently sold some classic hi-fi gear, and the winning bidder was similar, been registered ages but never bought or sold before. He paid by paypal within 2 minutes of the auction ending.

Correct!
With regards to anything vehicle related on ebay these days YES!

I think the worrying bit was that he didnt reply to messages, not that he hadn't bought anything before.
