eBay

I am new to using eBay and feel like everything I am listing on auction is just scam buyers that put in offers.

How do you weed them out and grow actual people bidding on items?

Happy Holidays

You are a new seller and a target for sports bidders and scammers.

You may consider refraining from using auctions style listings, DO NOT post best offers either, because that's also a scam magnet and list all your items at a fixed BUY IT NOW price with immediate payment required checked off. It's the only way to avoid these types. You'll get more serious buyers.

Happy Selling.

Thank you so much. I will update my postings today.

Merry Christmas!

@samagr-7983 I agree with the response above. End all auctions, post as Buy it now with the immediate payment required box checked and don't enable the "allow best offer" feature. I would also post some low ticket items just to get some feedback. Your items are not cheap for a newbie and buyers may be apprehensive to purchase from a seller with 0 feedback. You could also buy a few small cheap things to get a few feedback points so you don't look brand new.

Thank you and I will work on doing that to build a repertoire and good base so I don't look like one as well!

Merry Christmas ! Thank you again!

If the problem is scam buyers that put in offers, you could turn off offers and decline any offers that you do get.
