Am I worrying over nothing? Ebay

BargainJunky

I have a listing on Ebay which ends tomorrow. It had one bid then a zero feedback bidder bid it up so that they were winning (it took them ten bids to outbid the other person). They have today placed two further bids which still leaves them as the winning bidder as no one else has placed a bid. It also has six watchers.



The bidding strikes me as weird or am I just worrying over nothing. They have been registered on Ebay since April 18 but as far as I can tell have no feedback whatsoever.

I tend not to worry about new buyers, if you are worried that they won't pay just open an NPB on day 2 and then when you close it 4 days later you can go to a second chance offer.

There is nothing at all odd in that bidding, if they left a proxy bid it would just keep going up until it outbid the other bidder.

If you are tempted to cancel the bid, just be aware that it will revert to your opening price unless there is a third bidder in.
