They say you sent a broken sub, and either get some money back, or they send their broken sub that they are trying to scam you with back to you. People do it all the time. There is a guy that does exactly that with car amps. I can't remember his name, but its on here.

When you sell that sub on there they hold your funds for 3 days after it was delivered, or until you receive positive feedback. They basically hold your money ransom.

Don't sell to people with 0 feedback man. I'm telling you.

And if the sub has a serial number on it, write it down before you ship, just in case they try and screw you over.

dayum... So thats why feedback is so important.. Im assuming ppl just make up accounts on ebay to do just this>? **** there are some sneaky fuckers out there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif The guy who bid first has 100% feedback on 290 sales

2 more questions, where do i delete his bid, and will the buyer below him still be able to buy it, or when the 0 feedback guys bid on it , did it cancel his bid

that make sense ? lol

Just not worth the risk?

Sorry guys I'm learning more and more about eBay and pp but it's good to hear advice from you guys who use it often. So technically then the buyer is more covered than the seller?

no it isnt worth the risk

Really 90% of the time its probably ok, but idk I wouldn't do it.

So since hes the second bidder if i remove him , does the original bidder still get to buy it, or did it get canceled when he got outbid..

Just so i get this straight, PP holds my money for 3 days or until i get a feedback posted then deposits the $.

And if I do remove him from the bidders, how do I do it?

bumpup.. can anyone tell me if I cancel a bid from the guy with 0 feedback, will the next bidder down still be able to buy, or once he was outbid, does his bid no longer count?

I wouldnt sell/buy from anyone with less than 100% feedback, but then again they have to start somewhere.

If you cancel the high bid, the second highest should become the high bidder again. Or it will at least email him and ask if he still wants it...

I don't sell on ebay anymore, ever since they made it so sellers can't leave negative feedback //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif
