I'm selling something on eBay of substantial value, I've added all the bidder requirements that eBay offers e.g. credit card on file, has paypal account... however you cannot block 0 feedback bidders. Now since this guy managed to bid, is there anything I should be wary about? Because he's registered since October 2008 but has no feedback regarding purchases or sales.

What do I need to ask this guy?
 
It's a laptop. I cancelled his bid first time and then he replied...

"hi there, i bid for this laptop and it cancelled i dont know why i place another bid please let me know if there's a problem with the laptop or my bid. regards."

He made another bid when he sent this reply. Just asking him for shipping details to provide some indication of how legit this all is.
 
Why not use the MM on here? You might not get as much but the chances of trouble are a hell of a lot less. :)

I should have, but I think I just won't get much. :p

Stolen credit card used > Credit card company issue a chargeback to Paypal > Paypal unhappy they've lost money > Paypal take your money> You now have no money and no laptop

Yep... I might just ban this guy from bidding on my auction. Let's see what he says. I've not been scammed before being a member since Jan '06... and I don't really want to be... :cool:
