What would you do?

I have a high bidder that has zero feedback. One Negative in the last 7 days and one positive in the last 30 days. Makes me nervous. I still have 5 days left on the auction but am unsure. This would be the second deadbeat for this same item and I don't know if I should take the chance.

Opinions?

Thanks
Randy

I would see what else he is bidding on now, and if he has won alot of things in the last few weeks but doesn't have any feedback for it yet, that would lead me to believe he's just playing around.

If he's not bidding on anything else but yours, then I would let him be, maybe he'll get outbid and push the price up for you, LOL!!

good luck!

That certainly is not a good sign - I would contact the bidder and have them explain. If they do not write back, or you don't like their explanation, cancel, and block

He has bid on four other items. One from a NARU seller, one with BIN and the other as high bidder. Mine is the only auction he is bidding on now.

I will see what he says to an email if he is not outbid soon.

What was the one neg for? If it was for nonpayment then I would ask them to explain it.

Check their bidding habit, if it looks like one of those "lets see if I can get it cheaper somewhere else types" then I would cancel them out.

Is this a low or higher priced item that you got stiffed on before? Would it hurt to let it ride to the end?

Its your call, but do ask them for an explantion before you decide on what to do.

Well My concerns are unfounded. He was outbid last night. That does not mean he won't be back.

Now, block him until sale is over at least.
