What in the world is going on with all these zero feedback bidders driving up the price on items super early. 

I am on the fence if i should block them from my auction to avoid headaches during payment stage.

 

I have been selling a few used computer items and have noticed this especially on those auctions. I have been lucky that the final bid has always been a legitimate ebayer however with this particular auction i have my doubts.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

7 Bidders, 2 with 0 FB.    The vast majority of their bids were automatically outbid by earlier higher bids, as can be seen with (show automatic bids).  Personally I don't think there is a problem with either bidder and remember  0 FB does not mean zero transactions.
