Dear addiecoolbz,

I would like to inform you that on eBay we have a tool called Bidder management where you can block bidders from bidding on your listings.

There are 2 ways to block bidders
1. Block bidders based on certain criteria
2. Block bidders by User Id

You can block bidders based on the following criteria- If they have received up to 3 negative ratings in the last 30 days
- Block bidders with unpaid item strikes
- Block bidders from cities / countries you do not ship to

To add users to your blocked bidder list based on negative feedback, unpaid items strikes and location- Log onto your My eBay
- Click on eBay preferences under My Account
- You have an option called Buyer requirements under Seller Preferences. Click on the change link to edit the criteria for users on your blocked bidders.

You can also block bidders by User Id's. This means that those particular bidders will not be eligible to bid on your listings.
To block bidders by user ids
- Log onto My eBay
- Click on All Selling.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page in the Related links section
- Click on the link “Block or Pre approve certain bidders”
- Click on the link “Add an eBay user to my Blocked Bidder / Buyer list
- Add the eBay id’s of users you wish to block from bidding on or buying your items.

Ensure to separate user ids with a comma or just press the Enter key on your keyboard to display each name on a separate line.

When a user who is in the block bidder list tries to bid on your product he will receive an error stating he is not eligible to bid on your product. A blocked bidder list is applicable for all listings.

We hope this helps you have a better selling experience on eBay.
Regards,
Preeti
