So I've put my Range Rover Classic up for sale on Ebay. Massive response of 104 people watching it and over 1000 people have viewed it. Now I've not done this before and with five days left to go it's already above the reserve but the bidder has no feedback and has never bought of sold anything. Now I know everyone has to start somewhere but is it a scam?

Try to contact them and ask for a landline number or some contact details.
Update your listing in capital letters to say 'ANYONE WITH LESS THAN TEN POSITIVE FEEDBACKS IS TO CONTACT ME FIRST'.

They may have bought and sold things and have not been left feedback. I have an account like that. Go to goofbay.co.uk and enter the highest bidders username into the bid history tool and seller history tool.

I don't have Paypal and bought over 100 items on Ebay and never renaged or had any

problems paying in other ways.

If the seller accepts "other" payments i will buy/bidsmile

And anyway if your winning bidder turns out to be a duffer move onto the next highest bidder.

If the one with no feedback, does not pay you can always offer it as a second chance offer to the next highest bid.
