What do I do with this bid?

[billsstamps]

I was just about to put my listings on Holiday Notice because I fly to warmer climes on Thursday evening, when I notice that I have a bid made on an item which finishes on Friday. The bid is made by someone with zero feedback and a line through their name.

What would you do in this circumstance?
And what does the line through the name mean?

Oops, you've left it a bit late to close your auctions! The line through might be tempting to use as an excuse to ignore the bidder - and maybe there will be a problem - but it could just mean they're having to fix a typo in their contact details.

If it were me I'd close every listing except that one, and let that run. Leave the item ready packed to send with a reliable friend, and access the auction from holiday to see if and when it's paid, then tell the friend where to post. For UK holidays I've taken packages with me for posting when people have been slow paying and messed up my timings, but I doubt you want to pay excess baggage to take this with you overseas just in case.
