Only one person?  You're an amateur Stawks....I have p***ed off at least 4 sellers that I know of.

All that made me laugh, but surely not many sellers would block a person simply because they didn't like them on a messageboard.

If there was something to indicate they were bad payers or always gave negs, that might be different.

But hopefully like/dislike doesn't come into it, it should just be about does a buyer pay up promptly without hassles.

 

I can think of *another* reason a person might start up a different, new account a couple of days after opening one.

Could be they didn't like their user name & fancied a better version.Smiley Happy

 

All the same, there would be no reason they couldn't pay for any purchases under that original name and then just move on. That's what i would do, anyway.

My advice would be just to go ahead and open unpaid item disputes for anything not paid for, whatever account it happened to be.

No cancellations.

And yep, I would then block any of my bidders who made me issue unpaid item strikes.

 

Tippy, it sounds as if you did dodge a bullet with one of your buyers.

 

Ebay's message that the seller is not accepting bids at this time is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough.

It would be more helpful to buyers if (where possible) it then detailed a reason, such as eg-you are outside their selling region, or -you have exceeded the seller's unpaid item total over the last 12 months.
