Posted By: Donald Johnson
For those of you who sell pre-war on Ebay, I was wondering if anyone thinks that this zero feedback buyer matth9823 is legitimate? |

Sorry, I'm not much of a seller at this time, but I thought I would check it out. His about "Me" description is fairly entertaining & well written. I would think if he corresponds easily & is "well spoken" via email, I would have to try to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, I often feel that everyone is "guilty until proven innocent" on Ebay when they are new. |

I assume he's your hi-bidder on something you're selling. It is scary to me (hoofaway) as a seller. Weird weird weird. Guy doesn't like to use spell check. Contact his first sellers-they should have been paid by now. |

I sent a seller who this buyer bought 2 $1K tobacco cards from an email asking if he'd paid-auction closed 2 weeks ago, so it should be a good indication. |

As a seller, I'm always concerned about 0 or low-feedback buyers. I also contact other sellers to see if the high bidder has paid. I can't recall ever having a problem with them. I like to give them the benefit of the doubt, because we've all been there. |

I sold him 5 playballs and have talked to him on the phone. Got a personal check within the week and deposited it. So if it will go through before I ship the cards. |

Good to know, if you don't mind, Bobby, let us know if there is a problem. This guy has gone on some shopping spree. |

Just got off the phone with him cuz he just bought about $2K in some of my T205's. Says he is gonna send a cashiers check. He is a little odd on the phone and does some rambling about this and that. |

Naturally you worry, but, from my experience as an eBay seller, there's no 'statistical' evidence that 0 or very low feedback buyers skip paying at an unusually high rate. Most are new and pay their bills like everyone else. |

I agree on Euro thing David. The only problem with Euro is Paypal policy on chargebacks-you're gambling every time you ship to Europe that the buyer isn't a crook. But, having said that, Euros are soe of y best customers. |

For the photographs I sell, perhaps 35-40 percent of the bidders are European. I figure that the raised final prices more than offset any potential charge back. Especially, as I've never had a European customer not pay or charge back. |

I think I cancelled his bid (which I have almost never done) when I looked and discovered that along with a "0" he had a high number (one of the highest I have ever seen) of retractions in a very very short time. I felt bad in light of his "about me" but I was operating with "an abundance of caution" (as we say). |

I cancelled a few bids from him this weekend. Nothing personal, but one look at seeing how much he has won the past three weeks, at the time zero feedback, and the fact that I received three rambling emails after his bids had been zapped, that went on about ID theft, etc. did not leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling |

Better to be safe than sorry. Unless this guy has very deep pockets, he's going to have an awful hard time covering these purchases he's made on this rather prolific spree. |
