Well He is persistent, obviously can not figure out that the item is not listed for international sale,  So He is now blocked on 2 accounts,  at least the second one is a couple of  years old but still with 0  FB.

Wonder if He has got the message, or am I going to finish up blocking the extended family, etc.

I hope you don't mind me chipping in, even though it is a while since I was a seller.

Everyone does have to start from somewhere so on the whole, we never worried unduly about zero feedback buyers and were happy enough to sell to them.

However, there would be some exceptions to that if I were selling these days. First off would be for overseas buyers when my item was not listed for international sale. Especially when that buyer had zero feedback and bid without asked me if I would be willing to post to their location. And not just on a regular item, on a high priced item.That's about 3 or 4 iffy things right there.

On a high priced item I would expect a buyer to read the ad, to exercise caution before bidding and paying as you'd think they would be invested in making sure everything went well. I would expect a new buyer to be very careful.

If that buyer then went and bid on another account after being blocked, that would annoy me. An account that is a couple of years old but still with zero feedback and no evidence of any activity of all is another thing that strikes me as out of kilter a bit.

So basically, it isn't the fact alone that the person is a zero feedback person that would cause me to block them, it is the accumulation of questionable behaviour. I'd block this one, for sure and the whole family if I had to. I'd report them to ebay too if they kept giving me hassles. 

For regular items of low to medium value to aussie buyers though, I'd have no problem with ZFB.
