We are very new to the boards, so I don't wish to appear to agree or disagree with respected posters, but as a personal choice, I must say I much prefer the system now with blocks and strikes for non paying customers.

You are actally in agreeance with respected posters.. It's usually only new sellers that start these threads whinging about not being able to leave poistive feedback..

Even if you could leave negative feedback, most people don't look through others feedback to see what kind of buyer they were.. Sellers can't even do this as they don't have ESP so they can't check the feedback of a buyer before they buy from them..

As long as you open unpaid item disputes and have the necessary blocks in place, you can stop buyers from buying from you.
