imastawka — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 06:34:37 GMT

but for the life of me I can't find it. Scoured the A - Z to bits

Any help finding the link/policy would be great - Ta muchly

Thanks Harley, but that link is for ebay .com

But using that info, I found this on .com.au

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/multiple-accounts.html

What are the guidelines?

Allowed

Users may have multiple accounts on eBay. We understand that there are various reasons why someone would choose to have more than one account.

Not allowed

Registering new accounts or using other existing accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits or other policy consequences.

It is against policy as you have found.

Did you have someone successfully do it?

Yep. Too dumb to change the address.

Why wouldn't you remember someone who gave you so much grief?

I think they buy on a mobile - they never answer messages

Is there a manual report button? Or do I have to ring?

The 'report a member' in Help and Contact' drop down doesn't cover it

I had this happen some time ago and I was told by ebay to treat it as any other purchase and send the item. I said hang on your policy says they are not allowd to purchase under another ID once blocked. Well they couldn't give two hoots about it. Just told me if I received neg feedback to contact them.

Well, that's just terrific - not

The problem is, they haven't paid........yet again!!

11 unpaids previously - just from me

I've told them I want payment by the a.m or I'll cancel the order

They're on the BBL regardless - again.

Also told them it was policy violation -reportable - just to put the wind up 'em.

You go girl.

As harley said, I have heard similar and I have also heard eBay having been contacted because many new ID's were opened but eBay eventually actioned to flag new accounts from I think their IP address or something that stopped them.

how can one work out who is who on the blocked bidder list as there is no list to identify the names surnames etc-if someone has been blocked five years ago i can't remember what their name etc is-any ideas?

I think you can really only go on the ID's on your list, which automatically change if the buyer changes their ID. The only way I can think of to be sure is each time you add a name to the list, create a document and write their details on that and add new ones as they are added to the BBL. Of course that would be a pain if you have a high number on your list, but it's the only way I can think of doing it so you have a record. Adding the names in alphabetical order could make it a bit easier.

I've created excell documents for my stock and subsequent sales. When an item sells, I add the buyers username. If you've got something like that, you could also add the rest of their personal details. Again, that would be a pain if you have a lot of sales, but it's still a record.

I don't have that many (by id) on my BBL.

I remembered the address cos they gave me so much grief previously

Kept buying and not paying - and yet spending hundreds $$ with others

and getting raving fb about being a prompt and perfect buyer

I only blocked them a month ago
