Personally I would cancel the bid. I am happy with newbie bids or bids where the buyer has picked up a little bad feedback but with a 1+ and 1- negative feedback I think I would tend towards caution.

i would cancel it.
I had to cancel a bid today, 5 minutes to go in my auction for my old PS2; it was at £92 when i all of a sudden i noticed it at £102 with a 0 + i'm new symbol, checked the bid it was from Singapore:eek: and the buyer enrolled yesterday, just cancelled in time (had to stop downloads to free up bandwidth ) and listed the reason as buyer doesn't meet required standard.
PS. the bid he/she made was for £350
which told me it was definitely a conman

:beer: The way I read it your bidder has received his bad rating from negative feedback left by the same seller. Ebay has some nasty members who leave negative feedback that is unfair. Had the negative feedback been from 3 different sellers I would say yes go ahead and cancel the bid, however I would be inclined to give the bidder a chance. You will not send the item until you have been paid so you can only lose out on the listing fee and you can relist once for free anyway. It is sometimes the people with glowing feedback that you have to watch - I was recently conned by a seller with 100% totally fabricated feedback. This bidder could set themselves up under a different user name and clear the bad feedback - they have not done this and this could reflect that the feedback was possibly not justified.I would take the bid, wait for the cash and then send the item
