Id like some of your opinions about an Ebay bidder. I have a bunch of auctions on Ebay now and there is a bidder (BEARSFAN100) that is the high bidder on a bunch of my auctions. He only has a total of (5) Positive feedbacks and he has not won or sold anything on Ebay in over a year! Today i sent the bidder a very nice email requesting his contact information but he has not contacted me yet. I told the bidder that if i didn't hear from him/her i would cancell there bids before the auctions ended becouse of the low feedback and becouse they have not be active in over a year! Also, BEARSFAN100 is the high bidder on about $1,300.00 worth of auctions at this time and thats what makes me wonder. So whats your opinion?

I'm not sure I would worry. He looks like he is working on a PSA set. Did you check to see if he has one registered with the same "username"

Its a risk, but one that you must deal with on ebay.

Paul,

You can never tell who will be a problem bidder. You are basing this on his feedback, but look closely and you’ll see he isn’t jumping all over the place bidding up on super high dollar items. He seems very consistent with bidding on 53 BB and 63 FB. Probably just another baby boomer with more money than he knows what to do with and decided to bring back his youth and buy some nice cards from a nice guy.

Look at the bright side. When another serious bidder gets in the mix, you’re more than likely to make 15-30 percent more for the card, then you would without him bidding.

Have a great weekend!

Paul - you shouldn't be worried,
but as someone who has snipes waiting on many of those same cards, I should be.

As mrc32 and Treetop pointed out, his bids are logical.
From my experience, even low feedback bidders, on vintage PSA cards, are solid nearly all the time.

Paul - I sometimes have winning bidders w/ zero of 1 feedback, and although I worry a bit. Only 1 of dozen or so like that didn't honor their bids. And still I had the cards, so I didn't lose. ...jay

Thanks guys.....you made some good points. I didn't even want to post this here but i wanted to get someone elses opinion on this. It just seems odd to me that someone who has not bought an item on Ebay in a year is now the high bidder on $1,300.00 worth of cards. I may just let the bidder go.......they may not end up winning anything.

I had a bidder that had not shown any history of bidding on high priced vintage baseball cards (graded) or had any action in awhile who won a $500+ card. I was a little concered too, but his money order showed up in a week and the transaction turned out great. Expect the best, it usually works out fine.
