You sold something to a paying customer; normal practice is to allow the paying customer to have their product.

Hello 1320, I have sold several items to buyers with only a couple or no feedback. Most problems arise when getting paid.
Usually happens with a unique listing, but at this point you have very little to worry about.
Chances are he is a genuine first time buyer and feeling a bit uneasy too.

If your item is as described and they have paid for it, I don't foresee any problems. Could be you had a unique item that was finally enough to get them off the fence and create an eBay account.

I sell to people with 0 feedback quite a bit of the time. The only issue I've ever had was non-payment in which case I relist after the UnPaid Item (UPI) case closes. I also sell to a lot of people with several hundred to several thousand feedback. For some reason a relatively large percentage of those people don't pay until after the UPI has been opened.

I always video the state of the item, weighing the item and putting into the shipping box that has a mark on the carton.
Also, in the video, I will take a shot of the shipping label with the box on the scale showing the weight.
Never ever had a problem with this method but I haven't been tested and have sold to noobs with zero eBay experience. Best of luck.

Just today had a noob (8 feedback) send me a message that I have paypal problems because he tried to place a bid and ebay would not accept it. I told him to try again. Paypal has nothing to do with ebay until after you win the bid. Told him to try again. He is now the high bidder by 50¢

Never had a problem with new buyers. Send it with a tracking number.

Been fortunate enough to never have a problem with payment, but NEVER ship until the payment is received and/'or the check clears.

I just had an individual that goes by the ebay handle darley2044, refuse to pay for an item he won by bidding $122.29. He had over 1000 positive feedbacks. I e-mailed him and asked him why did he bid on something he never intended to pay for?? No reply....black list him.

everyone was a New Ebay user at some point,
from the day Ebay was invented.
including you once

I would imagine a large quantity joined because they saw and wanted to buy something

Following up....trouble free transaction!

...darley2044, refuse to pay for an item he won by bidding $122.29

make sure ebay dings him. something like that happened to me a while back and I waited too long to leave neg feedback. When I decided to do that all record of the auction was gone. I could not leave any feedback. I won the case with ebay and then they deleted everything.

Maybe this buyer was selling something very similar and wanted to get yours off so his would stand out.
Forget that idea.

I just did a search on darley2044
He/she is only a buyer. He/she has never sold on ebay, at least under that name. Of course, as a BUYER, he/she does not have any negative FB points. So he/she could be doing things all the time and still have a 100% positive reputation. He/she never leaves any kind of feedback other than the letter J.

Tracking number, have that and your a little safer!! If you don't want the new bidders best to put that in description so they know not to buy from you!
