Just wondered how others feel about a bidder registering a new account and bidding on a higher value item? I usually cancel and block, just not worth the risk. But am I being too paranoid? Love to hear your thoughts, experiences

Just this minute cancelled a $500 bid from an account created in the last 24hrs in China. So another one on the list.
Don't need the hassle of overseas sales at this time.
Whoa. Think I'd set a land speed record getting to the cancel button for that one ๐๐

Over the years I have sold plenty of electronics to China and most other parts of the globe, and I dare say some would have been to low FB accounts, however at this time I am not shipping any items internationally as you can be sure as eggs, that as soon as the item is overdue and buyers hit INR, the perfect english will disappear and I will be left scratching my head at google translations.
This particular bidder, raised sufficient red flags on top of the 0 FB to trigger bid cancellation with the reason being provided as
- Item not for international sale, bidder in China -
I do'nt think I could have made it any clearer but then he just changed account and tried again. Ah well so far he has only cost me time.
You haven't been able to block low feedback buyers for ages. EBay removed that option about 2 years ago. I guess enough low feedback buyers complained and they did something about it.
