Verified bid

joffy

Thinking of bidding for a car on ebay
It says make sure you are a Verified bidder for large amounts with ebay.Your bid may be blocker by ebay unless you get Verified.
How do I know if I am a verified bidder ?

He probably wants you to email him to convince him you're a genuine bidder.

Probably the besy way to sell items at the moment as there are so many scammers around on ebay. I think I'd look more favorably on a seller asking for verified bidders as i think they are just trying to weed out the c@@p from the rest.

I think the only verified part comes from paypal when you associate a bank a/c to you paypal a/c.?

Indeed... but there's no way he could stop you bidding even if your paypal account wasn't verified... and no way of knowing until you'd paid.

Hear hear bleugh :T

I am tempted sometimes to email sellers and basically just ask them i they know what they are doing...but I'd probably only get into trouble.
