How do I check on a suspected ‘fake’ bidder /

[kopenhagen5]

Look at their bidding history.

What is the item number in question ?

I am trying to sell an item on ebay and I have already had to relist this item due to a suspected fake bidder (they had a 0 feedback rating, no history and only recently signed up) and failed to pay.  I now have another high bidder with only 1 feedback rating and only recently signed up.  

How are we supposed to protect our listings as sellers from these dodgy bidders?? Don't want to have to relist AGAIN.

BIN with immediate payment.

After 2 auctions you should have a reasonable idea of what the item is worth, so BIN shouldn't be a problem, money-wise.

You are also selling a massively scam-prone item.

I hope you went through the correct process of cancelling the "sale" otherwise eBay has no idea that you didn't sell the item and will want their fees for the sale.
