    First time buyer -a little worried about how it all works so instead of assuming -asks .

    I wish more buyers would ask before rather than after-would save a lot of grief at times ....still if y'all block every new buyer -that'll work....... short term.

    I wouldn't even bother taking the chance. I'd just block them anyway. As I've said before, I always get problems with people who message me about something first.

    It seems to be a pattern every year you get a lot more non payers in the run up to christmas. No doubt the really daft questions on each listing will begin as well

    I wouldn't just cancel bids of people with zero feedback, we all have to start somewhere, I just felt uneasy after the message I received, I don't normally have problems with buyers just a small minority and since the game is a collectors item I didn't want to risk it :)

    It is never zero feedback buyers I have problems with, it tends to be those with feedback just in the double figures.

    One of my non payers in the past few months had over 1000+ feedback

    It's only paranoia if they're not out to get you!
