Fake eBay account

Hello, I have a Denny Hamlin Jacket listed on Ebay with a ligit bid on it, problem is I keep getting a 2nd bid from a account with 0 feedback that just opened account on day of bid. I tryed canceling them out and blocked their account. Another bidder comes in same thing 0 feedback opened account up on day of bid, I been doing eBay long enough to know these are fake accounts. Not much you can do about it except what I did but that does not do much good. This is the 2nd time I had this jacket up for bid and this has happened, last time I left the 0 feedback bidder win auction and they burnt me, no payments, no replies to messages. Just wonder why this is being done, whats their scam or nothing better to do. Thanks for replies. Steve

I would just keep an eye out and continue to cancel their bids. Try to be on the auction around the last hour of closing so you can keep an eye on it.

They have pitiful lives. If I was bored, playing games with sellers on ebay would be the last thing I would think of.

Go to "Account" and click "Site Preferences" scroll down to "Buyer requirements" and you see "Edit" click that and play with you Select requirements. everything you demand with the buyer.especial this "Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of or lower" put 0

Re: Fake eBay account

You can only block a buyer with zero feedback if they have purchased at least one item from you in the past 10 days.

 

"Buyers who may bid on several of my items and not pay for them
Block buyers who are currently winning or have bought 1 of my items in the last 10 days.  
   Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of 0 or lower."
 
 

 The only way to completely avoid "sport" bidders is to do a BIN with immediate payment required. Besides you don't really know if the person with zero feedback, that is trying to bid, is the same person you blocked before. We all had zero feedback when we first started.
