    Ask the bidder politely and say that you've noticed his recent negative feedback (allthough its non of your business) but your concerned and was asking if he has every intension to complete the sale. He might respond with a YES, But it still means nothing untill the auction ends! If this is the case then start the NPB dispute

    Is there anyway you can withdraw his bid and/or block him?

    looks like that stevo bloke is a dodgy one.

    just have to hope he has changed his ways if he does win, if not report him.

    Well he's payed for a few.
    And what your selling is hardly an impulse buy......

    Thanks,
    trouble is last night he was bidding on three of these and winning two,but he
    lost the other one so mines next,he has put a bid in for one below mine for
    £51.00 (different model) and he is losing that one at the moment.All looks
    very strange but its not something you would pick on randmon off ebay like
    a mobile phone.

    :confused: What is the point of feedback if it not the business of a potential trading partner?

  • I would give him the benefit of the doubt since the neg for non-payment was over six months ago. He has won a drill bit set on 24th March aswell so it may be that he is just an infrequent user who is now needing a few bits and pieces.
    If he doesn't pay then he will only get another neg and you should get your listing fees back after the NPB dispute with ebay.
