Selling an item to an eBay bidder with no rating

jyeck · 09-20-2013, 09:51 PM

I decided to list one of the best cards I ever pulled on eBay last Saturday. With the conclusion of this listing approaching, the current leading bidder has no rating and the item is currently over $150. For you experienced sellers out there, do you shy away from selling to eBay users with no ratings or very low ratings?

After seeing some threads on here about a user buying cards, leaving neg feedback, and returning the card and filing a claim, I would really want to avoid that stuff.

Obviously, this eBay user may not have the winning bid when the listing closes, but I would like to get some feedback from the people on here that sell high end products often. Thanks!

You can probably cancel their bid (and put in the reason that they are zero feedback and didn't contact you), or just see what happens. If they don't pay you'll have to file a claim, but it's generally the more experienced buyers that are the ones that return the cards and file claims......

You can also add that certain bidder to your bidding block list, so his most recent bid will still be there but once someone outbids him, he won't be able to place another.
