EBay Users: Got Any Advice For a Noob?

[HiTek21]

Just signed up with ebay and got an item up for sale, someone placed a bid on it but dudes got 1 feedback and its negative.. I also was looking at other items in the same catagory as mine and this guy is placing bids on like most of them. Me thinks this guy is just screwing with the bids, anyone have advice for me?

Reason for negative feedback: Buyer bought item with "Buy Now" didn't pay the seller and stopped responding to E-Mail.

cancel his bid, then ban him for bidding on your auctions

That's a bad feedback.
You might want to add in your term of auction that you reserve the right to cancel bid from users with negative feedback or recent negative feedback.

Learn how to cancel bid.

I would cancel his bid.....

You could e-mail him and ask him how serious he is about placing his bid. Just bcuz he is bidding on multiple items doesn't mean he won't pay you.

Dood, millions of people use eBay....wtf are you talking about? Sure, it happens, but it happens in FS/FT as well.

Only 1 feedback and it's negative? I would say NO! I don't know you! That's MY purse!

I would cancel his bid and put him on my block list.

Wait, you cancel if they have even 1 negative? What if they have like a few hundred positives and only 1 is negative? What about neutral?
