Buyer with o feedback and membership of 3 years

Hi All,
I require some urgent help I had a mobile for sale buy it now £85 it just sold but I stupidly didnt put that if they had less that X feedback not to bid. Now the person that has bought it is supposed to of been a meber since may 2008 but they have 0 feedback and i am worried that something will go wrong. if i cant refuse the sale, what steps should i take to ensure i dont get messed about with this sale. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Vicki

    Just follow the normal procedures when posting, special delivery to the address that paypal say is 'OK to send to'.

    You couldn't have stopped a zero feedback user bidding whatever you put in your auction.

    I have had some of the best buyers with zero feedback as they are new and seem to want to please..lol I would do as Soolin has already said, make sure everything is covered and you are not better or worse off then if you had sold to someone with thousands of feedback.
    I had a non payer thinking about it with over 300 + feedback but they never got in touch, paid etc so it goes to show.

    FEEDBACK AS A BUYER HAS BEEN WORTHLESS SINCE THEY REMOVED THE ABILITY OF A SELLER TO LEAVE NEGATIVES.

    Every buyer now has 100% positive feedback.

    When you go to your paypal overview screen and click the details of the buyer you will see the address there. That is the one I would send it to but I am having address problems with a buyer now so I can only go by what I would do.

    You are completely correct. On the transaction when you log into paypal there is a box at the top that says 'OK to send' and you must use the address in there.

    Yes. But for a mobile, Special Delivery is going to be as cheap, and is a better service.

    AS long as they guarantee a signature on delivery you will be fine, check the terms and conditions on Fedex. Are you sure it is cheaper with them though, phones don't weigh much and most light items are cheaper with Royal mail.

    some sellers quote "any bids from zero bidders will be removed"
