Blocking Buyers/Bidding

[sdot123321]

this is getting ridiculous these clowns just buy the item just to take it down they dont pay for it or anything this is so annoying i dont like when people mess with my money. i know the competition is doing this, are they that petty i dont get it
do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you not have enough feedback to require immediate payments using Buy It Now auctions? Also, file unpaid item cases against them. 3 strikes and I believe they lose their account.

i would think there accounts are throw away accounts so i didnt bother and it said my paypal needed to be a business or premier to require immediate payment

I hear you on that - make some new paypals as premier is one step towards right direction.

ok all good i changed my account to a premier one so now i require immediate payment so that should cut that crap they pull down. i still dont get why would anyone do this are they not making money? i just wish i could destroy their whole operation

Yeah this happens a lot. Immediate payment is the best option for sure.

I always get MC098 from eBay saying the buyer has been suspended and is no longer a registered user.

i used to sell mobile phone on ebay last time this happened a lot...just add all possible buyer requirement you can eg no bidder from country you dont post to, that has received strikes before, and to the extreme no one that is not phone verified (this is not a good way i think as a lot is not phone verified)

that is ebay.com.au I am not sure whether it is different for ebay.com.
good luck anyway
