    Cancel his bid.

    And set up your preferences so that people with minus feedback can't bid in future.

    I though you could only do -2 as a preference for blocking.

    I ask as I have an item with a zero feedback bidder currently winning. Its high value to me (£50) and I know we all have to start somewhere but I am worried. (Hopefully unduly)

    you cant block all zero feedback bidders, only those that dont have a credit card on file...

    You can completely block bidders with -1 or lower.

    The buyer might be ok if they have contacted you before hand. I sold an item once to a -1 guy and the whole thing went very smooth.
