Just had one of my BIN items bought by this guy:

Needless to say I won't be sending the item.
Anyone have any other advice?

So how exactly would leaving a neg help you?
If buyer doesn't pay then do a full NPB, if all those he hadn't paid had done that instead of leaving false positives then he probably,couldn't have bid on your item. (assuming you have preferences settle exclude people with 2 or more strikes)

Run for the hills.
thing is though if he has already paid he could still leave neg feed back anyway , if you don't send the item.0 -

Good point, just seems daft to me that sellers can only leave positive, it defeats the idea really. Suppose I'll have to wait for 4 days now.0 -

My initial thought is there is no way I'm sending the item, buyers have all the power on ebay and this buyer clearly doesn't play nice.
How do I see what feedback he has left?0 -

There was never any real point of buyers getting negs, except to make us sellers feel better. Buyers look at feedback for a seller before they bid and so negs can warn them off a poor seller, we sellers rarely get the opportunity to get our buyers until it is too,late.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Click on the tab 'feedback left for others' . That is actually more important for a buyer than the feedback they receive.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

that's the first thing i go for when i get new saleshelpful tips
it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'
it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)0 -
If this guys ID starts with "alex" I should be a bit careful, he has only had 7 feedback (false +'s) but has bought about 56 items on July 21 and 22, mostly computer related items.
PS just to add he also had a very good + in Jan 2012, so just possible the account has recently been Hacked?0
