zero feedback buyer

[bigzid]

I would not want to sell to a zero feedback/same day buyer. When covid started, this place had a lot of very recently opened businesses. So did other online sites. I would avoid if I could, regards, Mike

10% of my buyers are "0" buyers. 

They are no more problematic than any other buyers.

I've had the same experience.

On the other side of things, many would not buy from you as you have not had recent sales. Just sayin...

I love new buyers, never had a problem with them.

Not once have I had an issue with a zero FB buyer, not a single time. They make up the majority of my sales. The very few issues I've had over the years was always with highly experienced sellers. Best of luck to you....

It's been several years since a "0 feedback" buyer gave me a hassle.  A back of the envelope calculation suggests that "multiple feedback" buyers cause me more problems than the "0 feedback" variety.

Feel free, of course, to run your business any way that you choose.  However, many, many experienced sellers have expressed the fact that most of their issues with buyers have been with experienced ones.

Also, would just like to add:  Hypothetical:  What if, from the very beginning of eBay, sellers would have routinely refused to sell to a 0 FB, same day registration buyer? Care to hazard a guess as to where eBay would be at this point?

There are currently 160+ million active buyers on eBay. 

That means there are currently 160+ million buyers on eBay who were once zero feedback buyers.

Never really ever had an issue with a Zero FB buyer.  We get quite a few that did "Guest" checkout and they are great - no FB typically, but pay and we never hear from them again.  lol

Lately it is Buyers who are Sellers who are driving me nutz.  They tell you no packing slip, it is a gift - yah, right....I am drop-shipping this for you.  Just call it what it is!
