I've had a rash of (-1) bidders lately. Some a (-1) when they bid, some turn into a (-1) before the auction ends. (0)'s don't bother me (5% of them turn out to be deadbeats, but that's ok, I turn those into (-1)'s myself), but I am tired of OBVIOUS deadbeats bidding on my auctions.

I think there is a whole bunch of new users which is good. But I turned a 0 into a -1 yesterday myself. He put his own comment under mine, but at least he hasn't retaliated on my feedback yet. A deadbeat with scruples.

Loosecannon - Most likely a deadbeat who doesn't know how to leave negative feedback in your file. THANK GOD for that!!!

He knows enough to be able to post a follow-up comment on the neg I left him. I think he has me confused with another seller though. He says he never heard from me on the two items he won from me. He only won one. Perhaps he doesn't read his ebay messages? I'm relatively sure he must have gotten the NPB alert from ebay. I gave him 5 days to contact me after NPB. Also, he has won a bunch of items in the last month or so, but no feedback yet except for my neg. Hmmm...

I just had a -1 bidder win one of my auctions this past weekend. She contacted me immediately and paid via paypal within an hour, so you just never know.
