I have just had someone purchase a bag from me who has 0 feedback. Are there any problems with this? I don't want to be scammed as it's a l.v. bag. Many thanks in advance
This person paid immediately with Buy it Now so I don't know. I did send a email and thanked them and confirmed I would be sending tomorrow. I will put a lock with combination on the bag to hopefully avoid bait and switch. i just hope they won't be offended.I always send my zero feedback buyers emails, thanking them for bidding on my item and welcoming them to eBay. Then I ask when they're going to pay. If they respond, you're good. If not, and they don't pay within 7 days, then follow procedure when appropriate for any non-paying bidder.
Hi Sook'y We don't have the tyvek bands in Aus. I don't think. Can't they just cut those off anyway. Someone said at least with the lock they have to email you for the combination thus accepting the authenticity. Just a thought.Sounds like you have done everything right. I haven't heard of using a lock to prevent bait and switch, but have used tyvek bands myself for all expensive items, not just with zero feedback buyers. Some of my very best contacts have been with Ebay newbies and, as with everything else, it is impossible to generalise but I understand your desire to protect yourself!
Thanks Miss SookyThey can cut them off but the deal is that the bag is non-returnable unless the band is still in place. I didn't explain it very well - sorry!
Thanks yes I will. It's a shame we have to worry like this but there is so much fraud going on at the moment it's scary. thxMake sure that you are mailing it to a confirmed address and everything~~
