Ebay new account first week bidding problem
 

I purchased a new Ebay stealth account, and followed the Stealth guide to do some browsing and bidding for the first week.

The problem is I accidentally won the bidding! 7 dollars for a listing of multiple used cameras!

Should I ask to cancel, or somehow pay for it? I don't have money in PP, and i read that buying cheap things for quick feedback is very dangerous for new account.

Please advice!

That is not a dangerous "cheap" stuff auction. Thosee dangerous are the 0.01$ or similar.
Even worst if digital items.

You cold get those cameras and resell them. Might not be a good idea on a brand new account but when you have some more seller history could be a deal.

Contact the seller and see if they will accept cash or a money order. If they agree, send them whatever shipping address you want them sent to along with the agreed payment method.

If not, be polite, explain you are new to eBay and ask for a cancel transaction request.

Seems simple enough. :)

In my opinion will be better to transfer money to PP and pay for this auction. When your account become more experienced you can resell this lot. Also you can ask a seller to cancel this order. In any case you must do something, elsewhere the seller can open a case.
