Hi just had someone bid on an item of mine, they have 0 feedback, I dont specify in the description that they should contact me if they have under 10 or whatever, and i dont really want to cancel the sale but should I contact them?? If so what do I say?!

    Depends on what you are selling, and it's likely final sale price?

    If your selling a PS3, phone, ipod etc, then it's very risky - the buyer is highly unlikely to be verfied by paypal, therfore no seller protection is offered.

    If it's a household item, or something of relatively low value or not the sort of item that attracts potential scammers, then I would be inclined to leave it be - everybody has to start somewhere on eBay!

    Although my feedback is automated, I will add a follow-up comment to any eBay virgins.

    Thanks for that...as its a remington shaver with starting price of less than £2 and a final price of less than £5, i think we can safely welcome them to eBay and not worry about it! Just wasnt sure what I had to do! Thanks for that steve!!
