I thought there were settings you could play with when you listed an item to control who was allowed to bid. Having said that, I listed a few things at the weekend and thought I had excluded zero feedback bidders, but one of the items has had bids from someone with zero feedback who only joined on 4 March - so ebay either have problems with this function or I mis-understood the user interface for these settings. I'm not too fussed as this item is listed for collection only (it's an old home theatre system I was only expecting to get a tenner for - currently at £31 though).

You can block low feedback bidders and also restrict to UK / European / etc. bidders only.
