When do it’s essential to block an eBay purchaser?

Blocking patrons on eBay shouldn’t be a daily prevalence. In any case, you’re operating a enterprise, and never each buyer shall be amiable. Nevertheless, some circumstances would possibly require that you just block a purchaser. These circumstances embrace the next:

• They haven’t paid you for previous purchases. For those who’ve despatched a number of reminders, and a purchaser nonetheless hasn’t paid after a number of days, it’s time to dam them.
• They consistently again out of bids. You would possibly want to dam a purchaser if they’re all the time bidding in your objects after which canceling their bids, as a result of it wastes your time.
• Interactions with them are all the time unfavorable or abusive. If a purchaser is continually verbally abusive, or if interactions with them are all the time tough, it is best to block them.
• They’ve been flagged for fraudulent exercise. If different patrons or eBay has acknowledged {that a} purchaser is suspected of fraudulent exercise, you shouldn’t threat promoting to them.
• They’re your competitors, and also you don’t need them to have the ability to buy your merchandise. To not be petty, but when your product is exclusive to you, and also you don’t need your competitors to buy it, take into account blocking them.

Once you block a purchaser, they will nonetheless see your listings however gained’t know they’ve been blocked till they attempt to bid or purchase your product. At this stage, they obtain the next message, “This vendor isn’t accepting bids from you”.

In the end, selecting when to dam somebody is as much as you. There are not any strict pointers from eBay on when to do it or whom to do it to.
