    Hey guys, just wondering your opinions on eBay sellers with no feedback ratings?

    I was looking at this

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260772170539#ht_500wt_1156

    Desperate to go to this, but the fact he's a new user puts me off a little but at the same time I'm scared anyone else jumps in!

    What's the chances of getting scammed?

    Thanks

    To be honest, I wouldn't chance it.

    A new user with 0 feedback, I wouldn't take the chance with £1.50 let alone £150.

    The seller could be genuine, I'm not saying they are a scammer, but I'd be very wary of them.

    Also, maybe I misinformed, but as that seller has posted a photo of the ticket with all the ticket details, couldn't someone report the seller and the ticket would end up being cancelled, no? I thought this was the case with concert tickets so I don't know if it is the same with football tickets.

    Good luck if you do buy them and let us know how you get on.

    I would avoid that straight away, firstly, reselling of football tickets is illegal, so if you were scammed, paypal would not refund you nor would ebay, and if/when they see that listing they will take it down. Concert tickets can be resold etc but reselling of football tickets is illegal. Even if the seller is legit you would not get them delivered to Ireland in time for Sunday as friday is the last possible day to receive the tickets by post, maybe you could contact them and see are they willing to meet in person.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks for the advice guys. Didn't buy them in the end up. Too much of a risk!

    Thanks again.
