Do you trust buyers with 0 feedback?

[Sunspot144]

Nice necreo thread :P

10% of my buyers are 5 fb or less. Think - they might have found your listing on google and made an account just to buy your item

Impossible to block them unless you are running auctions.

Same here. eBay needs to allow this imo

I cant imagine they'll ever block those with 0 feedback. That's essentially saying those new / guest buyers are not allowed to buy items.

Sometimes we have to trust on 0 feedback.
It all depends on product image, descriptions, price. Your judgment also counts alot when you buy from 0feedback account.

Worked with eBay before, and for me, it's better to trust a buyer with a 0 feedback than a seller with the same rating. I mean I understand that maybe that certain someone is still starting, but I've been there and done that, so yeah.

We can't really say that we need not trust them because maybe they had just started their account. But, if you ask me, I will make business with them still, anyways we can always make an appeal if ever this bunch would try to outsmart us by possibly or maybe filing a SNAD or INR case against us. It can happen, but so long as you have your proofs ready the case manager or the appeals team will surely favor you.

Even buyers with plenty of feedbacks can still outsmart you. Regardless the rating or the feedback count, buyers or sellers may still have their ways of fooling around. My say on this is just maybe have a leap of faith. Not all buyers who has 0 feedback is a SCAM, same goes with not all buyers with 100 feedback is LEGIT.

Seller with 0 feedback is ok as for me. Paypal will refund anyway

I don't understand the fear of buyers with 0 feedback, We all started out with 0 feedback as sellers.

[Aguero]

Me too. There is non paying buyers with 200+ feedback.

Buyers with 0 feedback can be a risk to deal with, but as high as the risk in dealing with them is as highas the risk dealing with long time buyers in this platform. I mean tenured buyers already knew the in's and out's of eBay so they can easily manipulate anything.

That's right, but maybe his concern is what if it's a new account and it's a SCAM. Though for me, this is business and dealing with people like them is one of the risks that we have to take.

Let's be honest, most sellers on this forum are not newbie sellers. Most of us know most of the scams, and most of us know how to deal with those scammers. People sometimes overthink the simple things.

i do not trust if it is from china and account registered today. Also sometimes it is hard with russian buyers.

[agent006140]

Did yo contact DHL?
Does DHL have record of what he stated as content?

most ebayers have multiple Ebay accounts -to buy,to sell,to snipe,to browse,to chat.
Paypal wont do anything but could go on his record that he is a scammer,you should also report him to Ebay.
See,what DHL has to say,may be they will let you file an insurance claim

Depends on what you sell.
Most Ebay members have more than one Ebay Ids,for buying,selling,browsing,chatting and ??

what is that saying Dont sell anything on Ebay you cant afford to lose !
Most Ebayers have multiple Ebay accounts - for buying,selling,reselling,browsing,mischief.
It depends on what you are selling,there was a time we can pick up the phone and talk to the buyer or seller.

I wish those who bump threads merely to get their post count up would at least bump more recent ones.
