In your item description, you should specify that bidders with less than 10 feed backs, are eligible to purchase the item, but only after money has been received via PayPal or receipt of cash, money order or personal check that clears the bank. If the potential buyer falls within that expressed category, and they really desire to purchase the item, they will make special efforts to meet your requirements. As Everett said, we all started with EBAY at the same zero-feedback level...I don't recall being restricted by any seller. I personally use the phrase: "PayPal only accepted and payment expected within three days after auction closes." If they don't communicate with me for an exception, I will (at my discretion) offer to the next highest bidder through a "Second Chance" option. It's just an escape clause to protect the seller. Here's a clue, the person purchasing the chip or other casino memorabilia is probably a collector who is very likely to conform to the expressed payment options.
