Bidders with 0 Feedback?

[Cosmic Dare]

I just wanted to get an idea of what your policies are regarding bidders with 0 feedback. Do you just allow them and hope they pay? Email first? Cancel their bids? Do you put anything in the item descriptions regarding them? Haven't had any bidders with 0 feedback until now so I'm a bit apprehensive.

I just write in the auction that if you are a bidder with zerofeedack please email me before you bid. Almost none of them ever do so then I cancel their bids and block them.

Although on the flipside I have had zero feedback bidders around christmas times who have been willing to pay quite a bit for certain items.

I just keep in mind that everyone has to start somewhere and give them a chance. If you really dont feel that comfortable with Zero feedback bidders then have them email you first or something.

We all started at 0 and should be appreciative that sellers let us buy our first item from them.

I only use Buy It Now on all my auctions, so I've never really had a problem with 0 feedback buyers. But if I'm selling something $100+, I just add the immediate payment option.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess since it's getting close to Christmas it's possible it's just someone trying to look for good deals on christmas presents and stumbled upon the wonder that is ebay.
