I'm selling my car on ebay and an ebay member has bid on it. They are brand new (joined the day of the bid)and have no history at all. I have just sent a second pm to them to ask if they are genuine, no response from the first pm, so considering the value of the potential purchase I am considering cancelling their bid.

What do you reckon?

Unless you have specified in the description that bidders with less than X feedback will have their bids cancelled unless they contact you first you are stuffed.

Give them a try, they could just be new to it (and not p!ssed off with the high prices / fees / dodgy sellers of fleabay)

Why bother? If they're genuine you're fine, if not just contact the 2nd highest bidder and explain the situation.

I'm sure they'll buy it.

What steve_b77 said.

More bidders = more money. So let them bid and if happen to back out then do 2nd chance offer, or whatever eBay call it these days.
