Blocking buyer from sellers ebay site.

[michellebartley]

If a seller puts a block on a buyer how do you get a seller to remove the block from the ebay site. I asked a seller and they said that they tried to remove it but werent able to. Do I have to ask ebay myself to do this? What do I do can anyone help.

This is so true.

But I think the seller should tell you you are blocked and reason why. As a buyer you are I think entitled to this surely. Always nice to know these things beforehand.

eBay don't agree. Especially for automatic blocks when the seller has no idea who is blocked.

No, no one is entitled to that. It might be nice to know for some people, but if a seller makes the decision to block someone, they don't owe anyone an explanation. If they did, there'd probably be some kind of automated notification eBay would send out (Dear [eBay member], Comiserations, you are now on [seller's] BBL. Reason provided by the seller: Looked at me sideways. We hope you find many happy transactions with the other sellers still willing to trade with you).

But not only does that not happen, eBay make it possible to prevent the buyer from contacting the seller again.

sorry if this sounds harsh . . . . but what an absolute load of hogwash!

I am not about to engage in eBay message to-and-fro with each member I decide to put on my Blocked Bidder List explaining the reason why.  However, I will make one exception.

Spoiler

michelle, you are on my Blocked Bidder List because I have concerns about some of the content of some of your posts you have made on these boards.  No offence intended, but I just don't think I would be comfortable selling anything to you on any of my IDs, so you are on all three ID BBLs.

This, Michelle, from Sir Sales, one of eBay's gentlemen.

You might like to consider this before you post on the boards, as the knight is not Robinson Crusoe.
