eBay

Would you sell to a buyer with no feedback?

Buyer joined the day they bought the item (2nd hand toy for £20). No feedback.

I know people have got to buy something on ebay for the first time at some point but I'm just waryy as I have previously experienced difficult buyers who lie and ebay who always take their side.

As it's a toy, wondering if buyer could be a child though?

Have a look on Facebook if you aren't sure. However I have sold to new buyers with no trouble at all. Send it tracked, just in case.

One thing though, new buyers rarely leave feedback.

What do you mean look on FB? You mean search their name?

I'm not bothered about them leaving feedback. I just don't want the hassle and expense of posting it only for them to turn around and say it's broken or something.

Everyone had no feedback once!

I think if they were out to scam someone then they would aim higher than a second hand item worth £20.

As long as they’ve paid, it wouldn’t concern me - I find the main problem with zero feedback “buyers”, is that they bid then don’t pay or communicate.

Very true 19lottie82! Just so many buyers on ebay taking advantage these days. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and let you know if it goes tits up!

Yes I've had the same with new buyers winning an auction and then not paying. What's all that about? Had that happen three times with the same item (faulty pc for £30)

Yes sell to them, I've been wary in the past as I've sold to quite a few new buyers who had just joined with 0 feedback with no trouble at all. If it's a parcel it will automatically come with a free tracking reference number. If it's large letter then you need to send signed for just incase. That way you can't be out of pocket.
