I'm new to the ebay selling.
The biggest problem i've confronted till now is fake bidding.When i check the past of my bidders, i find this thing common that most of them joined the ebay on the same day when they placed their bids or in the same month. The winner amongst these bidders, after winning reports to make shipment outsde India or he doesn't respond.Also the contact details of the bidder isn't correct.
How to we avoid these kind of fake bidders?though i've blocked the -ve rated bidders through-preferences but these bidders have 0-rating so i cant even block them.
kindly help me, am very frustrated..!!:-(:_|

Hi,

Almost all sellers experience this menace. Some suggestions were posted about this on this board this month. You can put your views on that so that ebay officials can give more importance to those.

As you are receiving multiple bids (what I found just now), so you can give second chance offers to those buyers with some good rating and reasonable a max. bid. .

IN BUY IT NOW- USE BUYER BLOCKS.
IN AUCTION-CANCELL THE BIDS OF THE PERSON WHOM U THING SO IS NOT GENUINE.
I TOO WAS FED UP BY THESE 0 RATING,NON PAYING BUYERS AND AFTER DOING THE ABOVE 2,IAM QIET SATISFIES,
BUT I STILL FEEL EBAY MUST VERIFY BUYERS IDENTITY BEFORE MAKING THEM EBAYERS.
