Should I sell things to buyer who has only one rating, but joined ebay since 2014?

[ca.men9]

As title, I was tring to sell a electronic product, and the buyer who won the auction, only has one rating, even though he joined ebay in 2014.

Why wouldn't you? Do you like getting defects on your account?

As long as you know the difference between a fake payment and a real payment and the item is paid for with an address in paypal (use that one and that one only), you have no legitimate reason not to complete the sale.

There are protections in place that you follow. Do that.

As for only one transaction in that length of time, that is not that unusual.

That is nothing.  I made my buying only account back in September of 2012.  It was only within the past three months that I actually made use of it for the first time.

And up until shortly after that first purchase, that account's feedback happened to be 0.

And if it is another year before you use it again the feedback will be zero again.

Feedback is 12 months.

Yes. As long as the payment is in your Paypal account, why not?

Only the feedback percentage is on a 12 month basis.  They do not reduce your feedback score on accounts with no activity for a year or more.  Your score remains, but anything a year or more old gets stricken from the percentage.

Due to the item,price and the bid history I'd pull the buyers contact info and give them a call odds are good the number will no longer be in service. Then I'd refund and use problem with address as the reason or you can just kiss the $600.00 good bye....

Oh man, this has to hurt a seller of these new items:

See More Details about "Sony Dpt-s1 DPTS1 Digital Paper System"  - it doesn't give you a review or details - it takes you to someone elses listing!!!!!!!!!!!

[pargran3]

Advising the seller to bypass eBay policies (like lying about the reason to cancel) is a big time no no.

Wrong!!!

Does anyone see a sold listing for this seller that is all that recent that this question would even be relevant?

Yes - it's in their sold listings. Amount was 610.00

I don't see any red flags concerning the bidder or his bidding activity. He was bidding in two auctions, looks pretty routine. If he's paid (and you should log into PayPal yourself just to be sure), then ship to the address that you received with the PayPal payment. Get back to us here if you see anything weird, but at the present time, I'm not seeing anything suspicious.

pargran you'd ship a $610.00 item to someone whos contact info is false?
