Another words, I don't want bidders on ebay bidding on my items with let's say, 50 feedback total (good or bad). I have one bidder currently: example. paull23(1) I want bidders with at least (50). How do I specify this? I saw a -5 or something like that. Does nothing for me. Please advise. Thanks. swcoin.ecrater.com

Ha ha--- but don't u want your item bid up ? U need to let the small guys do a bid. I had these guys with 13 ect feedbacks bid my coin all the way up. I rarely buy stuff or sell on ebay so my feed back is low.But if I bid ---im committing to pay |

Simply stated, you can't automatically. ebay doesn't have an automatic bidder block based on feedback until it is in the negative numbers. And with today's policy bidders' feedback will always be a positive number. In fact 100%. You can put your criterion in you description but it will either be: -- ignored, or -- not seen. If you want to babysit your listings and manually cancel any that are from bidders with less than (50) feedbacks, have at it. Your life outside of ebay will take a big hit. And what do you do about snipers? Plus ebay may not like your actions. |

You could always do BIN listings with best offers with the BIN amount at full FMV value and decline all offers from <50 feedbacks.

Hrm.. What about the small guys (like me) with just over 25 feedback? Kind of seems a bit harsh... "Hey, you are new at ebay but have 25 100% feedback ratings, so too bad, you dont get to buy my item". I don't like it IMHO, but I guess it's your shop/item. |

In my opinion the feedback is more important as a way to screen who you buy from, not who you sell to.
The way I see it is when you buy you pay the money and have to trust them to send you the item as described, in a timely manner. They might not send it, or might send a counterfeit etc etc
When selling they have to pay you before you post so there isn't such a risk to you.
The chances are the majority of items will sell to people with more feedback because they buy more often than people with low feedback, the people who pay more in auctions probably win more too. So maybe this isn't such a problem, and the ones with low feedback might well be honest people it's just unproven at this point.
So when I buy I look at feedback of the seller, but when I sell I couldn't give two hoots.
Just my opinion on it...

Good point. I've been buying/selling on ebay since 97 with very few problems. Just must be my luck that I've had more than a few either never pay or back out of it at the last minute and all were low feedback folks. OK but International is out of the question  swcoin.ecrater.com

you can go into preferences and activate that no one with 2-3 unpaid strikes, can bid on your auctions, it helps but won't stop all none payments. and for the record I have had buyers with feedbacks of zero ,i am there first auction, and they pay, I also have buyers with 1000's of feedbacks and them not pay, so you just never know.
