Hi all 🙂
Is there an option where you can block buyers by postcode? I don't want to sound like a nasty seller but I have had 2 non paying bidders just this month from the same suburb...

Adding the "immediate payment required" option will elimate non-payers 100% of the time.

There is but it all depends which postcode they are in as you could exclude a high number of buyers:

cushion makes a good point. Just make all your listings requiring immediate payment.
You won't have anymore non payers.
That's why I put the link in,(you can block a city or regional area in NSW,Vic,SA or WA or 4 different regions
in Qld).
But as I stated,they could be blocking a high number of buyers,

One postcode can cover several suburbs, so even if the regional block was used (which actually really only distinguishes between metro and regional areas of states), you'd be wiping out a whole lot of potential customers for the actions of a couple.
Better to put a block on those who have unpaid item strikes (if you haven't already). Go to My eBay > Account > Site Preferences > Buyer Requirements, where you can set up blocks for buyers who have a history of non-payment (2 in 12 months is the strictest setting).
