Potential buyer with 0 Feedback

angel

I have an auction ending in three hours time and I'm sure that I had my settings on "No buyer with under 10 Feedback" or something worded similar. I've just got home from work and I have two bidders bidding up and up on my item and they both have zero feedback. Now I know that we all have to start somewhere but the last couple of times I've sold on ebay have been bad experiences so I opted for this. I'm just wondering how I can check if I did have this setting on my auction because surely they wouldn't be able to bid otherwise.

Thanks in advance!

You cannot set your seller preferences for anything less than to block bidders with less than zero feedback, unless you opt to block those enwbies who do not have a credit card registered and then I think (not 100% sure though) that you can block those with less than 5 feedback.

Unless you are selling mobiles or other items of interest to a scammer, or unless there is something else worrying about your buyer, I wouldn't personally worry. I rarely have problems with zero feedback users, all my recent problems have been with people with feedback in the 'teens'.

Thanks for that Soolin. I wonder where I got the idea that I'd blocked sellers with under 10 feedback from?

I'll try to chill out now and see what happens!

Everyone has to start somewhere on ebay! I would hazard a guess that you yourself had to buy something with zero feedback at some point. Look on the bright side - new ebayers often over-bid for things. Some of my most profitable sales have been to new users.

I second that Tirian...the best sales are from newbies, even if they are the most impatient...expecting overnight delivery!!
