Does blocking a buyer from bidding on my items also block them from sending me messages?

Does anyone know? 😕

I'm not good at this computer stuff. Just want to know if this crazy lady is going to be able to continue harrassing me. I am shaking right now with the stuff she is sending me.

I just clicked on your listing and sent a message to you through the listing called "testing" (the bit down the bottom where it says ask a question")

As far as I know it went through, I didn't receive any notification that it was rejected.

just sent one through your user ID from the MyeBay page, and I received no notification that it hasn't gone through, so from my end it looks like it has.

same for through your feedback numbers

so, if the messages have gone through, they should be in your messages on My Ebay (not the PM system on the forums)

Let us know if it works or not!

and best of luck with this issue.

Thanks so much!

Looks like messages can still go through.

It's a shame there is no option to block people like you can on facebook. I have no way of stopping this person from contacting me.

I guess I'll just stop responding and hope she gets bored with the harassment

Thanks again!!

you're welcome

na, there has to be a way - I'll have a squizz around the place, so check back in next time you're on line, just in case.

in the meantime, definitely stop responding, but do keep reporting them to eBay.

It might even be worth giving eBay a ring if this is really worrying you?

I found this - basically it says to report, doesn't mention about blocking them (although make sure they are on your blocked bidders list anyway)

In your My eBay page go to Account > Site Preferences > Buyer Requirements > Show > Edit. At the bottom of the page tick the box that says 'Don't Allow Blocked Buyers to Contact Me' and then 'Submit'. That should fix the problem

Putting that restriction in place does not stop them contacting you through your feedback page as far as I know unless ebay have changed it.

If you block someone they just can't send a message - but if they have purchsed from you they can still send a message from their purchase page

Re: Question

Blocking means they can still send you a message, they just can't bid on any future items you are selling. My situation all resolved now, thank goodness. I reported the messages to ebay customer service and they were awesome! This person is no longer sending abusive messages. So happy with how ebay customer services was able to stop this crazy person from further verbal abuse.
