    Sometimes you have to give them a chance. I have found I have dreaded receiving payment from a bidder with 0 feedback and have found they have paid immediately, whereas someone with 300+ feedback doesn't pay.
  • new ebayers have to start somewhere. ok, you have to be wary of fraudsters especially if you are selling expensive items but given that you could get 5 positives just by buying 5 ebooks at 1p each, I don't think stipulating a feedback rating of under 5 gives you much, if any, more protection.
