Item sold to someone with no feedback.

Hi

I have just sold an mp3 player on buy it now for £110.
I thought i had blocked anyone with less than 5 feedback,but the person buying it has no feedback.
They have been registered since 05 have payed by paypal
which says confirmed.
I have tried to confirm their address with bt but it says person cannot be found.
Am i worring for no reason, i haven't sold anything that high value before.
I would be sending item by royalmail special delivery.
Have i covered everything that could go wrong.
Thanks

    Here we go again :)

    You can't block those with low feedback UNLESS they have no credit card on file. Your buyer obviously does.

    Does that mean it should be ok?
    It seems along time to be a member without ever buying anything.

    MP3 players are classic scammer territory... but they might be legit.

    Have you checked out their bidding history? I'm selling an ipod at the moment and the winning bidder is a 0 feedback lady in the US... but she also bid on an identical 2nd hand one recently so I'm willing to believe she wants one of that particular type.

    Make sure you post the item by Special Delivery. The buyer meets the criteria and you should post it out.

    I sell frequently to zero feedback buyers and you just have to get onb with it and complete the sale. They also have a confirmed address so it should be OK.

    I did check out their buying history but they haven't bid on anything else.

    I would email them and ask them to confirm that they would like it sent to the address on their pay pal account. At least then if they file a complaint with pay pal you can wave their email at them.
