Multiple Buyers with zero feedback have been a member since 2019

[animal-house-8]

So I have had multiple buyers and a offer, all these people had zero feedback and have been a member since 2019. All in one week, hope this is not some scam brewing.  Any thoughts?

How many feedback did you have when you joined ebay?

I do not understand this phenomenon with suspecting someone is a scammer or shady just because they do not have any feedback.

Someone could make multiple purchases/sales and have 0 feedback if the ones they were in the transactions with didn't leave feedback.

So the person waited 2 years for their account to age/ripen before attempting fraud?

I guess you didn't understand the comment as it is very odd for some one to been a member for 3 years and had never bought and sold anything but to have 3 people in one week who became a member on the same year (2019) with zero feedback is very unusual. 

Do you get it?

Huge assumption. MANY people come on eBay and register to buy a specific item. I've had buyers in the past that clearly did this, it was obvious.

If the seller does not leave fb and the buyer does not leave fb...guess what. It looks like they never bought anything.

Not sure why do people have many accounts but just let them sit? I do not know but it sure is strange to have 3 people buy with zero feedback but joined 3 years a go on the same year. I have have at least 8 ebay accounts in the last 22 years and don't remember this happening.

Did you check for feedback they left??

I understand perfectly that you are making a lot of completely baseless assumptions, to what end I have no clue.

And what proof do you have they never bought or sold anything? Please share with the class.

What does their join date have to do with anything? Please share with us at what point you no longer bat an eye when someone purchases something.

Account must be 5 years old with 200 or more feedback? 3 years old with 100 feedback? 6 months old but with 400 feedback?

It's all relative.

Someone with 10,000 feedback all positive and 15 year old account could be hijacked and scam you before you even knew what happened.

Again, I don't understand the jumping to conclusions and suspicious people have based solely on 0 feedback. It makes no sense to me. I sold to many 0 feedback buyers (didn't even pay attention to everyones join date but yes some were new, some were old), and guess how many times I've been scammed? None.

Perhaps the person doesn't often shop online.

A few years ago they searched Google for a specific item, found a link and were routed to eBay. They bought the item, registered their account and didn't use it again until now.

It's highly possible they didn't leave FB and their seller didn't leave them FB.

This is a possible scenario.

Now- are there scams yes but that isn't always the answer..

What did they buy? Were they high value or high scammed items?

I think the oldest non fb buyer I had was a 10 year difference (i.e. transaction was in 2016, buyer registered 2006 with no fb). I felt like asking but never did and the transaction was fine since I don't remember the rest of the details.

I'll share this, you cannot put peoples info on this forum or I would have. Geeeze people just do not get it.

You're right, we don't get it, and since you won't answer any of the questions presented it appears you only created this thread to find people who agree with you and tell you it's a big conspiracy.

Best of luck.

Three different users, all registered the same year, all with no feedback, all found you the same week. 

That would be odd. 

As a seller you have the ability to block any user, for any reason. Only you can determine who makes the list based on your gut feeling.

Funny you should ask this.  A friend asked me the other day about her eBay account.  She created it a few years ago, but used it only twice as a buyer.  She asked if she could buy on eBay again, since she has no feedback.  I said, if all your info is still correct and up to date, of course you can.  

She is a collector of vintage kitchenware.  I certainly hope that on the off chance she finds and purchases something from you, she will be treated like any other good eBay buyer....as she should.  

In a nutshell, you're reading too much into this.
