Anyone know who this is?

Account is 2 days old, with ZERO feedback and e-Bayer has bid ONCE on one of my listings.
Did not contact me before bidding.

I cancelled that members bids and will ban that member from bidding on any other listings of mine.

Why?
My Bidding Rules for this listing as posted in the description.
If any of the statements/conditions below describes you (or your Paypal or e-Bay account) then PLEASE write me BEFORE bidding.
In order to bid on this item; You must have an active "Verified" Paypal account with an actual STREET Address (No PO BOX).
If you do not know what "Verified" means please write me before bidding.
I have been burned by too many Zero feedback e-Bay members (as a buyer and seller) so I have barred Zero Feedback members from bidding on my listings.
If you have 1-10 feedback, 2 or more strikes, and/or if you have less than 98% Feedback rating, please write me before bidding.
If the bidding rules above are not followed I will cancel/reject all of your bids.


If this member is you, then please explain (visa PM here) why you bid without asking me first...

I thought I recognised the name, but I cant find any reference on these pages through a quick search...

If you're not sure, back them off your items  :)

You're probably thinking of gamingfool ash.  But he did outbid me on a couple of items recently so its not just your stuff he is bidding on John.

Like I said, account is only 2 days old.
And not like I am not wanting ZERO feeback bidders at all, just want them to contact me FIRST to explain things to me.

I understand some members have more than one e-Bay account (I dont know how, But I am sure it happens) and they have reasons for doing so (I do not know why, but I am sure they think it is nothing).

But This member did not contact me prior to bidding (or since either) So the member is now barred from bidding on any of my listings.

That's a perfectly fair way of dealing with newbie bidders. 90% of all issues I've had with eBay buyers have been with either newbie buyers or those asshats you get on eBay who have an account 6 years old but only buy one thing every six months. Inexperience results in asshole behavior and if I could block them I would.

Unfortunately for me, most of my listings are BIN, and once and AH has hit the BIN I have to play it out and see what happens.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

What exactly is it you want them to explain to you?  Their life story?  Sexual preferences?  :lol:

One for buying and one for selling is the norm.  Its not a big conspiracy if someone has two accounts.  Now if they have three or four then I can begin to understand the paranoia.

People gotta start somewhere.  You can always contact the seller amandadub and ask her if the buyer paid since he won at least two of her auctions today.

Member wrote me, and explained a few things to my satisfaction.
I have now un-blocked that member.

I only have 35 eBay purchases over 7 years.
My feedback as a buyer is 100%.
Still, it'd be a drag to get blocked.

But ... I only bid what I can afford, I always pay immediately,
and I leave plenty of positive feedback (when warranted, and it usually is).

Who says there's no honor among thieves?

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.
