I want to block all buyers that have a feedback score of 5 or lower, as I am geting a
large number of phony bidders that don't pay, and they are usually people that have
just signed up to ebay.
I went into 'site preference' under 'buyer requirements' and all I could find is the section where it
says you can block buyers that are winning or have purchased anywhere from 1 to 10 items in the last
10 days, and you can apply this to buyers who have a feedback score of 5 or lower.
So I picked number '1' meaning block buyers who are winning one item currently but
then pickecd '5' meaning to apply this rule to bidders that have a feedback score of 5 or lower.
So if I am reading this correctly, have I successfully blocked all future bidders that have a feedback
score of 5 or lower even if they only want to buy one item from me (which is what I want, as I am
sick of it, with these non payers)
thanks

Sorry, but no - that just means anyone with a FB score of 5 or less can't purchase more than one item in a 10 day period.
There is no blanket block on low feedback buyers, the closest is the one to block buyers who have not gone through phone verification (many new buyers won't have, though having a PayPal account linked to eBay and/or a credit card on file will override this block).

OK. Thanks for your reply
I will leave it the way I have it then, because at least if they have a feedback score of 5 or lower
they can only bid on one item. I have had some people bid on 7 items at once and not pay.
This week I had someone bid on two items. So if they want to be nasty then it will be limited to
one item only. I usually find these types of bidders have very low feedback scores or have just signed up so
it should help me.
I am also blocking bidders that have had only 2 unpaid items cases against them in the last 12 mths and
that way I block out people with that bad habit too.
So annoying.... these people...

How to win repeat buyers.
Tell me, when you started out on eBay what was YOUR feedback score?

Are you opening and closing unpaid item disputes to give these non payers a strike? I'm lucky to get 4 non payers a year. I open and close the case, block them, relist and move on. Most of my low or 0 feedback buyers are great. It's usually the higher feedback buyers that cause the trouble.
I guess a non payer is better than someone claiming not described because something arrives broken. You have some really nice stuff there, I'm not sure how you can post it as large letter without protecting them against breakage.

Do keep an eye on your listings if you have the number of items bidders can buy chosen. I used to have it set at 5 items in 10 days on some of my items but after a couple of buyers let me know they were wanting to bid on a second item and they couldn't I went and checked and all my items had reset themselves at more than 1 item.
