Belt Auction

Why do I keep getting people with 0 feedback bidding on my ebay auction?

As the question asks.. I'm trying to sell a laptop, and for the third time I've gotten a person bidding with 0 feedback and winning. Each time I relist the auction and the same thing happens. I've tried setting parameters, such as they must have a paypal account, and they must have positive feedback etc. Its getting really annoying now.. any ideas?

1. You can set that unless they have 2 or more feedback they can't bid either. Check that box when you are setting up your ad its there on the first page below picture and price.
2. shouldnt matter as long as they pay for it.
3. let them bid? everybody started out with 0 feedback. how do you know they wont pay? and if they dont you can always put a strike against them and get your fees back and relist the item.
4. i cancel bids if they have no feedback, i know you have to start out somewhere but they are mostly from non payers who think it is funny to bid and not pay, this cost the seller time and money, you can either go on the items listing page and where it says you have 1 bids (or how many) click on that then a page comes up and it will say cancel bid just click on that and that bid will be cancelled and it wont let them bid on the item again (i dont know if you relist it, it then allows them to bid) or if it the same person you can block them from ever bidding on any of your items~on your home page click on help in the top right side of the ebay pay look down til you see A-Z its near the left side, then click on B scroll down til you see block bidders, click this then it will ask you to type the persons ebay user name in then press to confirm, they will not be allowed to bid on any of your items unless you remove them from your block list, ive had loads of non payers and yes they all have no feedback so its best to remove them asap, good luck x
