Default just sold a car on ebay but...

never sold a motor on the bay before and it ended an hour ago.
The only thing is the winning bidder hasn't got any feedback score or anything and i know its only been an hour but he aint been in contact yet.
Do you think ive been stitched up and how long do i leave it before offering a second chance offer to someone else?

NO feedback = not a cat in hells chance of seeing any money. I am quite an optimist but with Ebay it just a pain the arse. I only use it now to sell small items. Give it a few days before you start sending emails etc. Did you ask for a paypal deposit?

Just set up the buyer requirements when you list the item. You can specify how many feedbacks you want the buyers to have, you can restrict buyers that are from outside the area that you post to etc etc.

As for now, you do need to give it longer than an hour. There are some genuine people out there and as others have said, not everybody sits infront of a PC all the time.
