Selling to a buyer with zero feedback

I just had someone buy an item, but the buyer has no feedback and just opened an account. Is it safe to ship or is it a scam? I know everyone starts on ebay with zero feedback, but I just want to make sure its legit. Thanks

Selling to a buyer with zero feedback

Like what @marbleslost23 said, many of the buyers are new. Some of my sales are from buyers that have zero feedback. As long as the buyer has paid you, you are fine to ship out to them.(make sure to check paypal or your bank account to double check that you recieved your payment.  Just be aware that they may not know a lot about Ebay's feedback system. This may result in them giving negative feedback due to something like "Package was stolen from my porch" which is on the buyer and USPS and not the seller.

A good deal of my sales are from (0) feedback buyers, lately. Lots of people are just using guest check out instead of making an account. No problems.

I wouldn't worry much, your items aren't really scam targets. You hear a lot about the scams, but professional criminals want bigger payouts. I think you're safe here with movies.

I was searching the boards for this very subject. How did your sale go to the zero feedback buyer?
