Well, I blocked a second high bidder today, bid the reserve. Joined E Bay yesterday, Zero auctions and feedback, so as I had filed a report against the first bidder, I figured that it was him again using a new identity. Got an angry message back from him, "why did you cancel my bid, my wife does not understand why, I only joined E Bay to buy your car ..."

So I did not block him , and tonight he is back as the high bidder and met the reserve. Just sent him a message telling him why I cancelled his bid, and now to get ready to own it. I do not think some people realize that having a zero feedback bidder makes the auction look suspect. I explained to him that some serious bidders might pass on the car because it screams "SHILL" . Still not one question about the car from him, and that does not sit well with me.

I've sold a few cars to "0" feedback bidders without issue. I have purchased a few cars off ebay without asking a question or even contacting the seller first. I have probably sold 40-50 cars on ebay.. and only had problems on maybe 5 or 6 of them.
