Thank Goodness you all have a positive attitude 
towards new bidders, because I was one too. This 
is because in some auctions that I see, they 
don't allow bidders with zero feedback to bid. :( 
It's like somehow fb 0 bidders are unwelcome.... 
maybe you have genuine cond=cerns but I think 
that there are some genuine bidders out there too.

P.s. I would like to Thank Art Shop Rose for 
letting me bid on their auction (and winning it 
too) when my fb was 0 at that time. The seller 
was really friendly. :)
