That is the item I want and he has several other boards available as well. I contacted the seller and he told me he is fairly new on ebay, sold 6 boards already but didn't receive feedback.

Here are the messages I sent:

Question 1:
Me: Are you a new Ebay Seller
Seller Reply:
Yes, i am new. I've been doing this for about a month now and I've sold about 6 items thus far. For some reason, it doesn't relex that on your account profile right now. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm very new to selling on ebay so maybe you can help me answer why i'm not getting any feedbacks upon a sale. Is there something that i have to do or is it simply based on whether a buyer takes time to fill out a feedback?

His completed items does show that he has sold around 6 of these already, with 7 more currently listed.

I would be VERY leary of this seller. Newegg is selling the exact same thing for $640, you have to ask yourself how this seller can afford to let it go for such a low price (it's at approx $50 right now with less than 4 hrs left on the auction). If it seems too good to be true .....

Send a message through ebay to the six bidders who won his auctions but didn't leave feedback?

i was gonna say give it a try. but after seeing how this product sells for 10x more elsewhere, i'd be wary about buying from this seller

when i first started with ebay and had low rep count, i sent the item to the buyer first, then they sent the money. everyone was happy.

recently i got burned on two auctions from ebay. After stringing out the communications and such, i exceeded the time frame to lodge an official complaint (60 days); ebays response: too bad so sad. if you're leary about the deal, contact the seller and tell them that you will bid if they agree to send the item first. Make sure that you have alot of documentation. FYI, paypal has a 45 day appeal window and if you exceed that, their response is the same as ebay. Right now ebay and paypal are floaters in the toilet as far as i'm concerned.

So...? I usually leave my feedback for buyers right after I ship the item(s).

The fact that he's selling something for 1/10th it's normal value is a biiiiiig red flag. Unless he's got a really good explanation for that, I'd stay away.

so, i am the winner for the item for $150. I am trying to negotiate with him to ship it first and I will pay upon receiving. He is a bit hesitant with that idea. I ask him to contact his previous buyers for feedback and now he received 1 feedback.

My credit card company says they will cover my loss if its a no ship.

What do ya think guys?

If the credit card says they will cover you then it is a no brainer.
You can't get that item cheaper than that.
