I have searched eBay, and cannot find where to change my option for bidders who have 0 feedback. Has this option been eliminated? I want to make it mandatory for my bidders to have at least a feedback of 1. Hate to do this, but I have been swamped with deadbeats.
Is this feature one of the casualties of their \"improvements\" to the site?
Also, last week, I owed Ebay $15.00 in fees. This week, I suddenly owe $25.00??? I didn\'t add any listings, but my \"fees\" jumped $10.00. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

The only bidder that did not pay me this month has a feedback of 502 and the one bidder that was a huge pain that I have now blocked from bidding again has 843. Give me the 0 feedback bidders please.

In the past 45 days, I have had at least 10 newbies (less than 10 + fdbck) & everyone paid right away. Most through PayPal. I'll never turn down a newbie. One lady from WA bought a US Proof Dollar of the 2002 Wintewr Olympics as a present for her husband's birthday. He was on duty with the NG during the Olymics in Utah. She paid with P/P within minutes of the EOA.

I think you may have Yahoo and Ebay mixed up. I have never seen that option on ebay. I used to use it back in the day when Yahoo was free to list and had tons of deadbeats. But when they started the listing fees, all the deadbeats went to bidville and I dropped my minimum bidder feedback to zero and have had only a handful of deadbeats since. I wouldn't get discouraged with zero feedback people. They as a rule will pay quickly.

Also, don't forget that newbies have a tendency to start a bidding war and stick with it until the $$$end$$$.
