What on earth, eBay is a cesspit!

So I have a number of auctions finishing tonight on eBay (see the link in my sig for details).

In the 5 days these auctions have been running I am getting plagued by bidders with zero feedback (I am SURE I put in my settings to block these), I have had 3 (!) bid retractions and a ton of low ball offers.

What the hell?? My only hope is that one of these zero bidders do not win, or if they do they actually pay up. The rest I can ignore. But it all makes ME look really bad as a seller, my auctions look WELL dodgy and I pride myself on being really honest and straight with my selling.

This isnt going to end well!

My bad, after a chat with eBay, apparently you can't block zero bidders.

I guess zero bidders are whole new debate

Yeah you can only block buyers with negative feedback ratings or who have had non paying breaches.

I didn't realise you couldn't block zero feedback bidders anymore. Another example of ebay putting itself before the sellers again.

But as mumbo says, block bidders who have a history of not paying. I do. It's essential.
