Just a general question about ebay

Gary_Cusdin

Hi.
I have put my car up for sale on ebay and came on this morning and am now a little concerned.
The car has been on for 2 days now and has a few watchers and last night had no bidders.
I came on this monring to find I now have 1 bidder that registered to ebay yesterday and obviously with no feedback.
I then remembered I had not put any detail in the ad about no timewasters and only bidders with positive feedback.
Should I be concerned that this auction may go wrong or this is some sort of timewaster?
Should I add the above points to my sale now?

Probably a good idea. sometimes people ask for a non returnable deposit of about 50 quid through paypal to be paid soon after auction ends.Remember people need to start somewhere. I would be glad the car is going to sell . and just hope there are no problems plus it could be the first of many bids

That's why im wandering if I should do anything.
We all started somewhere but I have had previous issues where the auction actually got ended years ago and not by me or ebay.
I will see as I can always relist.

I would give it a couple of days see how it goes it usually takes just one bid then many others join in you could end up getting more than you hoped for
plus it seems strange you had an auction ended which was not by yourself or ebay

just add a note on the bottom of the listing ( amend listing)

please don't bid if you have feedback less than 10 etc, or i will remove your bid

This^^

I've never sold a car on eBay, but for something like that, I'd be wanting to see at least 10 feedback before allowing them to bid.

Well I have added the point of feedback and also sent him contact to give whoever the chance to get back to me.
I have told him I am removing his bid due to feedback and he can contact me to reconsider if they're serious.
I just have bells ringing in my head about this especially at 00.49 at night

Just wait for the messages asking if you will ship the car to Nigeria for their Boss' birthday present :facepalm:
