Good luck - think the prices are coming way down now as shops get them. Has to relist mine a few times and it finally went an hour ago for £215!!

By the time i take off paypal and ebay fee's i'm left with £5 less than i paid for it! Only listed it as thought it would be easier than returning to argos

well, it's a premium, so i should get a wee bit more. hopefully

glad i held out for the premium though - wireless controllers are excellent and the remote is pretty handy too

My Xbox 360 (premium) was bought by a zero feedback user. He'd registered that day specifically to bid on my auction and contacted me by email to make sure it was ok first. I had the auction setup as the OP has, PayPal with immediate payment only but I also had 'Best Offer' active. As he was a new user his PayPal account wasn't confirmed so he couldn't actually pay with PayPal. He 'Best Offered' me the BIN price, I accepted after speaking to him on the phone and this circumvented the need for immediate payment. He drove from Stoke on Trent to Plymouth the next day and paid cash. So, not all zero feedback users are scambusters and wasters.

The only zero feedback users I've ever had problems with have been ones that registered weeks or months beforehand.

The ones who register and bid on the same day are, in my experience, ok.
