Hi
I am selling an expensive handbag on ebay , winning at the moment is a person with 0 feedback , is there anything I should add to my listing , just concerned about getting scammed.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

you only send off when you have received payment thats the traditional way.
so you cannot get scammed.

Ginga, the person bidding will be an auction wrecker - there are lots of these around when selling an expensive handbag. Guessing it might be LV? If it gets to the end time of course. Most do not because company who made it is will get the auction pulled. They do NOT like them on eBay at all whether they are new, fake or 2nd hand. The person bidding will work for the company. That is how they get around the vast number of fakes and this is why they are all 0 rated bidders. Go have a look in the history at how many have sold recently and who has bought them!! You can do this by going into Advanced Search and pulling up Items that have ended only.

My friend tried selling one - after the 4th time she gave up because it was either pulled or someone bidded on it and never paid. She asked me to do it and I said no way - you can get suspended or permanantly lose your account if you keep on trying to sell it.

The only way to get around this is to pre-approve your bidders but I'll be very surprised if it runs to the end. I thought they had the Vero Policy on the bags. How long you had it listed for?

Hi Blue Monkey,
Thank you for your prompt response its not a LV, its a Mulberry & I have all reciepts & tags, its not suitable for me & Mulberry return policy is with 28 days & I am just out of that.....
Not very money saving, I put it on saturday for a week .
Fingers crossed

You can always cancel and block bids from anyone you don't like the look of.

There's plenty of genuine buyers with zero feedback, everyone has to start somewhere, but obv no harm in being cautious. Check out bidding history to see if anything unusual in bidding patterns. Click on "Advanced Search" now top middle if Ebay page, next to search box. Then on "Search Items By Bidder" enter buyers user id and you can see what they have bod on in the last 90 days (if anything).
