An example why you need to have blocks in place.

[black*poppy]

So I have a buyer who over the course of 4 days has used 10 different brand new IDs to buy one of my dresses.  All failed because I have the block in place for IDs with less that 5 feedback that aren't verified.  

On day 5 she strikes gold and finds an ID that gets through the blocks.  She REALLY wanted that dress.

Guess what, two days later she hasn't paid!  What a surprise.  

I know it's the same person because of the combination of letters used in ALL the IDs (and they all go for the same dress), and the timing of the attempted purchases.

So yes, I should have put at least one of the blocked IDs on my BBL which would block future purchases on any other IDs, thereby avoiding this scenario - silly me.

Anyone want to take bets on whether I will able to actually post the dress??  Anyone???  LOL

Learn from me people.

Sure, I thought you were saying ebay were changing/overriding set blocks.

I also thought once an ID was blocked subsequent ID's started from same person were blocked.

Should be that way and I think many have been under the impression it was.

ebay do override the blocks in your buyer preferences if the buyer has paypal or a credit card added.

I had a buyer a few weeks ago who was blocked.  when doing up the labels I thought gee that name sounds familiar. went through my book and yep he was blocked under the another ID. when I asked ebay about it I was told to treat it as any other buyers purchase and send the item.
