Bait and switch. The professional buyers do this all day long and make money doing so.

One of the members here sells lots of used clothing and told me they added the measurements from all angles and one of their buyers bought a large group of shirts from them to only tell them, hey, I dont like the way these fit, I will accept them if you send me 50% of the total cost in a refund.

Amazing.

Make it 631, add MM78.........


:clap:

Its a very remote link in my opinion - not something to be worried about. I dont need to share lists between accounts since different accounts, cater to different markets/testing venues. That being said, if someone is REALLY out to get you, he or she will keep opening accounts and pounding your sales. That's the nature of the loser buyers.

Like the energize Bunny. Keeps Growing and growing and growing. Gotta be at 600+ on my end. Knock on wood. But I have not had the moronic buyers and shysters buying from me over the past year or so. I do share blocked sellers with a 2 or 3 eBay seller friends. Go figure and knock on wood again but have seem to blocked out many of the problems.

Professional buyers on ebay are smart. They just keep making those damn buyers accounts and I cannot catch them all.

:p

I agree 100%. If you were to speak in this "tone" on Etsy you would get half a dozen loops cupcakes telling you that you should "believe the best" or your buyers. The cupcakes confuse service with servility. I am sure some of them would allow their customers to stomp over their bleeding body and eat their children if it enhanced their buying experience.

I have a buyer at the moment very abusive. Tracking shows item delivered but she swears she has not got it. She opened a case and Etsy closed it immediately. I told her to take it up with USPS. Ooooops - USPS will not compensate if they have it down as "delivered."

Has anybody maxed out the 5,000 buyers on their block list?

I was also curious about what other people do with the buyers that got a number@deleted. example 111111111@deleted so obviously someone has lost their account I would imagine.

I just am not sure to leave them on since I haven't hit 5k. Or take them off. Always wonder about buyers I don't want to deal with who get their accounts reinstated.

I do not go out searching for people to block because the chance of meeting up with John Doe's bad buyer is so remote but I do have a nice sized BBL.

I had aholes who messed up computer systems i sold as well new and they tried opening it and doing all sort of **** to it without knowing what or how to do. Sad to say i should have video taped the product and putting it in the box and i would have gotten compensation for my broken computer case the customer sent back after trying to modify it. At least none of the parts were stolen, but it is my last time selling whole systems on Ebay, ill just sell them locally, it is too much work for a little return as a side job. Putting the components together, installing the software and updates, recording serials, packaging and double checking, then now well video taping myself packaging it for 150 profit at most is far from worth it, even for 4 hours of work, the hassle is not worth it.


I just sell small items now, have buyer requirements and do not ship the item unless money is received, i still have alot to learn about dealing with these people and proper eBay practices but i do have products i do need to sell and Ebay sadly has the monopoly.

@Rost TOO FUNNY!

Re: How big is your Blocked Bidder list?
 

I have 1, let you know when I hit 4,999 more!

Re: How big is your Blocked Bidder list?
 

not big only out of my laziness.

if there blocked, do they get a message that says there blocked or do your items not come up in the search>?

Re: How big is your Blocked Bidder list?
 

For some sellers 5,000 would be their entire buyers availability. Blocking would not be feasible. LOL.

To quote that great line from the Godfather....

Fredo, you are dead to me.

Hit my blocked list and that is where you stay. Couple of times a year I do a random sweep to see if they have been revived.

Only had one.

Plan B worked quickly.

:croc:

Re: How big is your Blocked Bidder list?
 

7 bidders, so far..

Re: How big is your Blocked Bidder list?
 

So, who exactly do you guys block? Specific people or like people with strikes on their name and do not have a Paypal account?
