Bidders

[josur-6822]

There needs to be a way to set up our accounts, to where bidders with a (0) items purchased history cannot bid, I've had to relist and re-promote 3 items that people with a 0 bid on and then never pay and certainly never communicate, I'm certain I'm not the only one having this issue and there should absolutely be a number to call when trying to address "help" on ebay, I mostly maintain my account from my phone and there is no viable way to make DIRECT contact over issues

It is troubling when i see sellers eying new buyers with suspicion rather than welcoming them to the platform.

Maybe it stems from the fact that there's no shortage of sellers who come here asking how to block 0 FB bidders or sellers who complain that they have the most problems with the new kids on the block.

And how would you have felt if someone had first refused to sell to you because of low feedback?  Everyone must start at zero and everyone deserves a chance.  

now where's my lollipop and rainbow?

wow and then all the new buyers would be left for the rest of us that know better!

There never has been nor probably never will be.  Every account starts out with a zero purchase history just like every new customer walking into a B&M store for the first time has a zero purchase history with that store.  It is your job just as it is the job of every employee of that B&M store to try to make that customer want to develop a purchase history with that store.

Upon viewing the item that you have listed, I recommend that you list it at a fixed price and use the IPR option.  Not all items are suitable for sale at auction.

My latest  "buyer" with a 0 feedback rating  bid 14 times on the item and then never paid.   The original poster has reason to be irritated even though we have to accept it to sell here.  If I could I would also block bidders who retract bids but thankfully I am coming to the end of my ebay selling days soon so it won't be a problem for me anymore.
