Buy it now offer, cash on collection but zero feedback - wtd?

[Closetlibrarian]

I've had a bicycle listed on Ebay for nearly a month on buy it now/ best offer. It ends tomorrow and I've just had an offer for a really decent price. Problem is that buyer wants to pay cash on collection (not itself a problem, I said this was an option in the listing description), but they have zero feedback. Ebay says they've been a member for a year.

Wwyd? Is it a scam, d'you think?

Sounds fine to me. Why would it be a scam?

take a photo-get then to sign something-bring ID?

Zero feedback just sent up a red flag to me, I guess.

You're over thinking this.

Get them to pay cash when they collect.

Job done.

But if they're colecting, and paying cash, how can they scam you? Everyone has to make their first purchase at some point.

I'm only uncertain if they pay PayPal. PayPal tends to side with the buyer.
But cash on collection is fine.

By paying me with fake banknotes (it's for £400)? Or by somehow nicking the bike without handing over the cash.

Am I just being far too suspicious?!? It's the zero feedback but member for a year thing that strikes me as dodgy, nothing else about it.

Yes. You're being a knob

Just sell them the bloody bike.

If they do a runner then it's a police theft matter. No different than if they knicked it from your garage
