I have an annoying bidder who is out to keep ruining my auctions. He keeps bidding ridiculasly high amounts becoming the highest bidder at the end and doesn't pay. I add the user to the blocked bidder list but they keep signing up a new account to do it over again when I relist the auction. Very very faaaacking annoying... now I go into seller preferences and I see you can set bidder requirements but there is no option to block new users (< 30 days old) from bidding. Dammit! How else can I deal with this loser?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
Record all of is usernames, and auctions he's ruined.
Call ebay and email them. Give them the information. Hopefully, the guy is not smart enough to change his IP, ebay will be able to handle it from there.
He'll get tired of it soon enough though. That's why I have different selling accounts for difference niches.. just to avoid that type of annoyances.
When you call ebay about this, ask to be transferred to Trust and Safety as soon as you get a human voice. It will save you headaches and possibly give bigger headaches to your tormentor sooner.
Hey thanks all for the good suggestions. I was going to contact Ebay as a last resort as it's a hassle but if this loser keeps doing this to me I have no choice. I was hoping there was some way to block newly registered users. I do sell under many accounts and this guy is just bugging me on one. For this particular item I am selling it works out better for me to list in auction style as opposed to BIN with immediate payment required. Stupid ppl I don't understand why they gotta play such retarded games and waste people's time..
Not sure how many auctions you put up there. You can END your Listings early before the auctions end, sell to the highest bidder, kick out any buyers with 0 pt. You have more control by doing this way, just take a little bit more time. Continuing do this way for some time until that guy's no longer interested.
this user is probably a competitor, or former annoyed customer, there is no other reason, why he would persecute you otherwise, if you say he is newly registered on these accounts, block zero feedback. If you have his name and address on all these accounts, is there a common thread, can you work out real address from it...?
By specifying buyer requirements you block buyers from bidding on or purchasing your items based on criteria you specify. You can block buyers who:
*
Do not have a PayPal account
*
Have received Unpaid Item strikes
*
Are registered in countries to which you don't ship
*
Have reportedly violated eBay policies *
Have a Feedback score lower than the number you specify
*
Are currently winning or have bought '1-100' of your items in the last 10 days (depending on the number you specify)
So you could block anyone who have less than 1 feedback score so to speak, so his fresh new 0 feedback accounts won't be able to place any bid. You can also cancel his bid and he won't be able to place another one again in this listing.
You might lose sales but it will discourage him if you keep it up for a while.
Also, using BIN with immediate payment required is also a very valid solution as blue already suggested to you.

I use bidassure; 30 days free trial...it ended all the asses doing the nonpaying bidder (and information harvesting) from new accounts. The good part is I can stick it on their credit report if they don't pay 20% plus $10 of hammer price and I don' thave to send it if they violate any of my rules. I've had it with these people; they even have a forum where they conspire...if I could find where they live, I'd fly to europe for a special visit!

I have a first bidder in my action and I think he is a ⊗⊗⊗⊗!
In my field its -1,-2,-3 not 1,2,3
Whats that? If I tick in -1 will he be blocked?
He has 0 feedbackscores!
If I block him with his ebay id, will all the automatik bids from other bidder dissapear that he has pushed up?
He has an automatik uppdate once aday it seems.
There is no way to just simply block out all 0 feedback buyers. eBay doesn't want sellers to block them for many reasons. A lot of new good buyers want to buy things, some want to get positive pts to prove themselves, some 0fb feedback buyers can drive up the bids in the very last mins.
When you list something. You can select buyer requirements to block the following type eBay members:
* Are registered in countries to which you don't ship
* Have a negative Feedback score
* Have received unpaid item strikes
* Have reportedly violated eBay policies
* Are currently winning or have bought are large number of your items in the last 10 days
* Do not have a PayPal account
If you want to apply these settings to all current and future listings, select the “Apply above settings to current and future listings” check box.
Ya there is no option to block new and/or 0 fb users so what I did was that I selected option to blocked users that do not have a PayPal account. I haven't seen any bids from this loser in a couple days now. I hope he is just too lazy to create a PayPal account.
Is there a way to block new users from bidding?
