Did you guys know there's a block buyers section in My Ebay?

Not the regular block bidders feature.
<< <i>Buyer Block Preferences
You can block some purchases from other eBay members. To set blocks, use this form to select the kinds of buyers you'd like to block. When you're done, click the Submit button below. To let specific users buy your items regardless of the blocks you set, add the users to your buyer block exemption list.
Note: Use caution when setting these blocks. Setting buyer blocks may reduce your selling success.
Block buyers who:
Are from countries to which I don't ship.
Have a feedback score of -1-2-3 or less.
Have received Unpaid Item strikes from more than 1 seller in the last 30 days. >>
I just found it. Didn't even know it was there.

Thanks for the heads up
Great info, I will put it to use!!
Thanks Tom

I agree. For example, I think one NPB, not "more than one" should be blockable. But, it's a start and more than we had before.

I've been having to go to the help option everytime I want to block somebody.

Thanx for the info.

Hey Russ. Yes, you are correct. That "not more than one NPB" idea would be a great feature. It is a start though as you say.
Besides, I don't ship until I get the money, so what do I have to lose, aside from a few cents in listing fees?

Why don't you sell on eBay? eBay could use more honest Sellers.
What format Karl do you use to sell?

SOUNDS like the kind of seller that just - BUYs BUYS BUYS
I knew this existed and use it to block out of USA buyers unless I add thier name to the unblocked list. Which I have
done for OUT of US board members
<< <i>Thread little "old" but still useful...... With that .20 listing fee today a bunch of us will take advantage of it. I have. What concerns me is having alot of items for sale at one time. I currently block bidders that have won 2 lots in last 10 days with feed back of less than 5. Thinking maybe I should limit 2 lots to one buyer , for now ,so I"m not so exposed to NPBuyers. How do you handle this? Thanks. >>
Wow, that's some kind of paranoia. I pretty much let anybody bid on my stuff. I think you're overthinking the "block buyer" options.
I don't sell to overseas bidders, but a couple of times they've bid anyway, and at least once I remember they WON my item and I ended up shipping it overseas anyway. It was a hassle, because the form said to charge them like $30.00 S. & I. and if I remember correctly, the following day she messaged me to mail it to a friend of hers in Florida instead, which would've been cheaper. No wonder people advise against selling to overseas buyers.

<< <i>I wish you could block bidders with 0 feedback. >>
How would anyone get started on eBay if one could do this?

To be honest, over the last several years I have had dozens of buyers with feedback less than 10 and the only issues were learning curves for them like not knowing how to use pay-pal etc...
The only trouble I have had are from bidders with junk feedback around 100.
<< <i>I've had those blocks in place for a long time. >>
As have I, but thanks for sharing it with everyone.

<< <i>Is there a way to block certain SELLERS" from coming back when you search? I checked "my ebay" preferences and found nothing. I would like to be able to filter searches to leave out sellers with less than 10 feedback, less than 98%, out of country, and maybe a few other things. >>
I don't think so, but a good way to filter out 99% of scammers is to disallow the following terms when searching: "God bless America", "diagnosed with cancer", "found at farm auction", and "shipping from China"
<< <i>"found at farm auction" >>
Hehe, I like that one. I will remember it.
<< <i>Marty, I can;t even begin to figure out what kind of stupid jackass I want to call you.
No don't start with the profanity, or you might end up on BittlesBank's hit list of EVIL coin collectors!!

And don't forget, "I'm an honest seller", I run from those!
