    with an item of high interest item such as the 360 console, I'd be very cautious and would probably cancel the auction, and relist, and possibly only accept bids from ebayers with certain # of + feedback, unless they contact you.

    before offering 2nd chance offer, email your 2nd highest bidder and pull the contact details, maybe even phone them to check then out. But it looks suspicious. New ebayers don't usually bid £400+ on their 1st purchase.

    I bid vey nearly that much on my first ebay transaction, and it all went very smoothly.

    After all, if you first use ebay specifically to look for a high value item, then you're going to end up with a high value first transaction.
