Totally agree. Buyers who require cases in order to initiate payment (and then pay by echeque) or who don't communicate, I block: I don't have the time to wait. Blocking certain serial v. slow payers in the category I am in has resulted in bids flowing in from other buyers who, I think, were put off by the successful (but slow, or non-payers) monopolising my narrow market niche.

I was wondering how easy is it for people to have more than one account. I have noticed some boardies here have said they are posting  under a different name to the one they usually sell from, so I am assuming it must be quite possible to hold multiple accounts. It would probably be a lot of bother though as I suppose you would need different bank accounts or paypal accounts or whatever.

 

I also wonder how easy is it for someone who has been banned off ebay to come back under another name.

 

It is very easy to open multiple ebay accounts...all you need is a different email address for each one.  You can have up to 8 ebay IDs attached to the one paypal account, so no need for multiple bank accounts.

Most of the regular boardies have different buying, selling and posting IDs.

If someone is banned from ebay they are not allowed to just open another ID.  I am sure it happens, but it should not.
