Great...yet another zero feedback bidder bidding on my stuff.
Sold something on ebay and in the last 10 seconds a ZERO FEEDBACK bidder bidded.
Why on EARTH isn't there an option to block all ZERO FEEDBACK bidders and not just people with "less than -1 feedback" which is actually impossible ?
I've got every buyer/seller requirement set as ON...
If I give a 2nd chance offer will they take away the final credit fee from the zero feedback scumbag?
Help much appreciated

Sorry, just realised you said they bidded in the last 10seconds... Just send a 2nd chance offer, not sure about the relist credit though.
Yeah. Zero feedback scumbag? Nice seller.
And the winner only joined today!!
but sassie has a point, see what happens before you decide theyr a badun, they may just be new to ebay
It doesn't.
But nine times out of ten it's people messing around I have found.
Why should they have to prove they are worthy of buying stuff by having to sell stuff first?
I agree that some zero feedback bidders are timewasters but that is part of ebay and something you are going to have to live with if you sell stuff on the site!
Has that changed now?
OP was a scumbag once lol
Many moons ago I too was a scum bag, but I worked hard and rose above it all and now I am proud to say I have reached the heights of ebay pond life.:p
Agree with all the above comments, at least wait to see if they cough up before complaining.
In my experience it's the long established members who think it's ok to buy things and not pay, ignore emails, and not respond until you cancel a sale!
Give 'em a chance, everyone has to start somewhere!
Just because ebay has been round for ages doesn't mean everone has used it for ages!
So I agree with the OP,you should be able to make a choice on who bids/buys before the auction ends.
"everybodys got to start somewhere" doesn't wash with me, they can start on an Alf Alarm clock.
So you "know" the OP was selling a laptop and agree that anyone with zero feedback is a scumbag? Just wow!
So someone who starts out on ebay to buy something big (like a tv, laptop etc) has to buy loads of crap and tat they dont actually want before others will deal with them? think thats a bit unfair.
And if they were to do that everyone would acuse them of being a chinese scammer, buying lots of small items to get their feedback up and then scamming someone for a larger item.
Everyone really does have to start somewhere on ebay, big or small. Stop being so negative.
No I dont know what he/she was selling, should I? If the OP was selling a 2nd hand shirt or some other tat, I dont think they'd be quite as peeved as if a £200 phone was sold. I wouldnt be.
No, I said sellers should have the choice to let whoever bids/buys their stuff. If you want to sell a £3000 3dTV to a 0 feedback so be it!
I`m pleased to announce I have now reached the grand status of shoppingbag, due to the fact that some kind sellers from ebay actually let me buy from them.:-D
So you dont know what the item was, but agreed with the OP despite now saying you wouldn't be peeved if it was a low value item. Do you also agree that all ebayers with Zero feedback are scumbags?
It's a waste of time writing that though isn't it because if anyone was a dodgy zero feedbacker they'd just ignore it anyway and we all know people don't read auctions properly either so probably wouldn't even see it lol
True but might give some back up from ebay if they did turn out to be a scammer and you had made it clear on your listing , Maybe anyway ?
Unfortunately it means nothing if you write that on an auction.
long answer, yes.
You cannot block zero feedback buyers, and rightly so.
If I had low feedback or no feedback and was going to bid on an expensive item I would probably message the seller first to ask if it was an issue.
Just wow!
if they dont contact me before bidding i cancel any bids
90%? Is that statistic a fact? I'd appreciate your references. Thanks.
lol - dont make it up!
source? :whistling:
