Time overdue to get tough with buyers

[duck---dodgers]

Start ticking boxes.

Buyer requirements 

Block buyers who:

• Have received 2 unpaid item strike(s) within 12 month(s)
• Have a primary postage address in countries that I don't post to
• Have 4 policy violation report(s) within 6 month(s)
• Have a feedback score equal to or lower than -1  (This one cracks me up)
• Have a feedback score of 5 or lower and haven't gone through phone verification

I received an email from a buyer who was upset that she was blocked because she had 5 unpaid item strikes in last 30 days.

She started a new user name & bought the item anyway.

Paid right away but interested to see what kind of feedback she leaves me as I think she blames me for blocking her.

Makes me wonder why I even bother blocking people as it p*sses them off & too easy to retaliate by starting a new name or getting friend to buy for them.

ebay should suspend her account, they would have taken more drastic action if she was a seller.

Ha, that one is funny, it assumes others would want to buy their items/trade with them.

What a pity that eBay doesn't give sellers the ability to block IP addresses rather than user IDs which can be changed.

I can assure you it is true.

There is a poster on this thread who told all the regular boardies that she had blocked us.

Whether it is true or not I don't know as I have not tried to buy from her.

Not funny at all, as CQ has found out.

Some posters can be very nasty, very nasty indeed.

Indeed they can, cats. That person is now NARU and eBay removed the neg, but my defect still remains, much to my disgust.

Good idea, but I wish there was a way to automatically block users who have a history of leaving negative feedback without first making any attempt at communicating their issue to find a polite resolution. They are morons in my opinion.
