Has anyone done this? I'm just worried they may be a scam artist, as I've seen many private FB buyers implicated in scams. I don't think the feature should even exist...

Occasionally buyers make the feedback 'private', which means you only see the number and rating, no comments...they can't sell but they can buy.

I know, it's a joke. I got taken by one for a small amount last month. I've taken to canceling any bids placed by private feedback bidders provided I catch them in time and then blocking them. That's the best I can do.

I called ebay help, they said the same thing, no preset block for those with private feedback. Since I don't sell often on ebay, it's easier for me to keep on eye out.
Rest in Peace

Good to know I'm not alone in this, but I sell quite a bit so it can be difficult at times. Thankfully the feature is not used much.
