Won buy a zero feedback bidder then back up at that price. Methinks somebody tried to drive the price up and got egg on their face.

So why did he not get a negative when he didn't pay? I still think it's a shill account.

I've bid on items that were rather obviously bid up by shill users. When I informed eBay, they were very unconcerned. I suppose they get a higher fee as the item price is driven up.

Ebay doesn't want you to leave negative feedback for non-payers. It is very hard to do so. If you do, they don't post it and send you a nice patronizing thank you note for helping keep the ebay community aware. Like anyone needs to be kept aware of dead beat bidders.

i've seen lately where a seller listed in the discription that any zero feed back bidders will be deleted.

Yes, by legit sellers with integrity.

Hello,

First post on this site. This thread came up in a google search for Altec Intermodulation Analyzer, a search I initiated in an effort to learn more about the piece of gear I posted on ebay.

This item "sold" again today, let's see if it's a legitimate purchase this time. I have no idea what this item is worth, but isn't that the beauty of ebay...start the auction at a low price and let the free market decide the value. I started the original auction at $10 and certainly got my hopes up to sell for $1k based on the bidding activity, but I was scammed apparently in the first go round.

I listed and sold a western electric amplifier and an Altec mono amp at the same time and the winners of those auctions flaked, too. There certainly seems to be more scammers and ne'er-do-wells on ebay than I remember from the old days. I guess in light of that I can't blame you guys for assuming that I was somehow involved in trying to drive up the price, but that is untrue.

Anyway, feel free to bid on this thing if you see it listed again!
