0 feedback buyers have to start somewhere, can't fear them all.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I have a pathetic 0 feedback buyer that bids on my items then withdraws the bid (test to see if they are blocked) then bidding not paying every single day, every single EB id for years. Just one item on each acct.
But then there's the 0 FB buyer that buys four or five hundred bucks worth in one sitting leaving top honor FB before arrival, same goes for BIN's... so such is life.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I see this is an old thread, but I personally havn't encountered too many problems with 0 feedback members.

It is the high feedback members, those who have been around a while and know the rules. Those are the ones to be wary of.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I never had a problem with a 0 feedback buyer , when u see it the first reaction is always negative

But that's just because eBay is so nutts about feedback, feedback, feedback, but in reality it means nothing

Just a new buyer that should be welcomed

I set all my preferences the high rest possible, ship only to 48 states, no PO box . And not one problem

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I've had two new buyers this week who decided they don't know how to measure themselves - I sell clothes.
One guy decided he wanted a long pair of trousers despite me stating the trousers were short. I had to contact him saying i did'nt have long pair just the ones advertised!
Another bought waist 30 in, jeans and then messaged me AFTER I posted them asking if they would fit her as she usually bought size 10. How the Fxxx should I know!!?
Needless to say they were returned.
I looked at her feedback and she was new to ebay about a month and was doing this to loads of sellers - buying stuff that did'nt fit her. Since Christmas I've had some real morons buying from me.
She seemed to think that she should receive her refund before the item got back to her buyers ans was using feedback to send messages!

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

The most common problem with newbies to ebay is the fact they don't pay or regret that's why I request immediate payments for all of my listings.
This will save you time and unnecessary fees for those ridiculous crooks e&ay

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

Well the guy that wanted long trousers told me to send the long trousers -the ones I kept telling him were short - he was most insistent so I have sent him the short trousers. If they get returned he will NOT get his postage costs back (send OR return), he'll get a partial refund.

Stay away.. a lot of stupids guys with 0 FB

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

A lot of Ebayers with 0 feedback are using credit ;)

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

well you were zero once upon a time when you made your account, so need to be tolerant...

the buyers you need to worry about are the many questions ones, they are neurotic and complaining types, I always sense trouble and usually right, not always but more often than not....

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

Depends on the value of an item for me.

Cheap items under $45 I dont care.

Anything higher than that, the minimum is 10 feedback

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

Why fear 0 feedback buyers? every day, new people join ebay and those people have money to spend or want to buy......I welcome their money. If anything I fear the person who may have 1,000+ positive feedback and knows exactly what to say in order to get an item for free.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

Exactly.

I think people fear 0 feedback buyers because people use those accounts to scam in the high end electronics categories.

You know the ones "if I pay you $100 more than the asking.price can you send to my.uncle in Nigeria"

Just stick to seller protection rules and 0 feedback buyers won't cause you issues. Use.common sense.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

There are a lot of zero feedback buyers now because of 'Guest Checkout'... Not sure if its possible with auctions, however on BIN I get loads of them.

At this point I have started ignoring feedback... Why worry about problems that have not happened yet... If you have all your settings inline, non-paying bidder automation, ship with proper tracking, etc... You are pretty much clear of most scammers... Some just know the system so well that there is no work around.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

A good one is to tell them you are visiting a friend in their area and you would like to meet to fix the problem with the purchased item. Spooky

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

It annoys when buyers with 0 feedback ruin auctions.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I had a non-arrival and the seller told me her husband was a policeman and he had posted it from the police station. I thought hmm I must start using this with my own dodgy buyers who claim non-arrival.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I will take a 0 account feedback over a florida buyer or a california buyer all damn day. Biggest scammers are in florida or california.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

I will give change to this buyer. I can claim chargeback from Paypal if item not receive.

Re: Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?
 

Hello ..well why not .. all of us started with 0
cheers
