    i put in every auction, i will not send to nigeria so dont bother asking, if your feedback is less than 5 your bid will be ignored.

    and tbh the best thing you can do is not use buy it now for a phone, it costs you more money and is more liable to scam..
    Of course it matters. I get top whack for everything on eBay because of my impecable 100% feedback and also my descriptions. I describe every thought and cover absolutely everything imaginable. People associate you with being thorough and this instills trust.

    The guy I bought an engine from on eBay was a ****** tho and as such I've got an engine that he knew didnt work before he listed it so feedback doesnt always mean anything...

    The only workaround that i think protects you from fraudsters is using 'Pay immediately using PayPal' option when listing item with BIN. This means fraudsters cant hold up ur auction and ask to ship to Africa or something.....

    BTW every time i try to file the unpaid claim against the fraudster who is no longer registered i get the message saying i have to wait 7 days. But in the help pages ebay says you can file a claim immediately? I filing using the 'Action' drop down menu in the 'Items I have sold' bit, followed by buyer not paid and then buyer no longer resgistered.

    Am i doing anything wrong?
