what would you do?

Quick question. We haven't been on here in a few months and I have listed some items we had hanging around. My question is I have 1 person that is bidding the daylights out of something and they only have 2 feedacks from over a year ago. One says great buyer..the other says they never paid for the item. Is there a way to knock them out of the bidding? Bidding is fine and well but if they don't want to pay it's a pain in the , well you get the point.

If you feel uncomfortable with them you can cancel their bid and put them on your blocked buyer list so they can bid no more.

Personally I would let them bid and see what happens.

Maybe they will lose. Maybe they will become your perfect buyer. Who knows.

If they don't pay then open a UPI case and after 8-days you can relist and perhaps send a message to the other bidder to see if they are still interested.

As clarry said.

Initial instincts tell me it's a kid on their parents account.

you still have nearly 6 days to go - I would let it 'play out'....come back here if it goes pear-shaped

I too would let it run. If the problem buyer wins and pays you are going to be much better ff than if they hadn't bid at all. If they don't pay then you still have the item and can send a second chance offer and/or relist. alternative ending is the other bidder wins and you get more than if the other bidder hadn't upped the ante.

I'd let them run with it. Pokemon's all the rage atm.

It's not like they've bid on a lot of your items

They've also bid on 2 other items in the last 30 days., so it's not just you

that brought them out of 'retirement'

The bonus is, there are 3 other bidders and 14 watchers.

Maybe a snipe will see them lose, and you've got a high price
