However, such trivials can sometimes escalate into a much worse situation for merchants selling on eBay, especially beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an effort to protect sellers from repeat offenses, this top marketplace offers sellers post-sale protection from abusive buyers. The platform also designs a blocking feature allowing sellers to avoid future contact with such buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you block a buyer on eBay, you can forbid that individual from purchasing or bidding on your available items. They will remain clueless until they attempt to buy or bid on your items. Nevertheless, customers on the block buyer list can still view your listings and send you a message unless your account is set to also block messages on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, blocking a buyer on eBay doesn&#8217;t just mean a &#8220;Buy It Now&#8221; buyer. You can actually block an eBay bidder, making sure they can&#8217;t buy or place bidding on your items if they don&#8217;t meet your store&#8217;s requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"table4\">\n<p>Blocking Buyer is actually a form of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/ebay-seller-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eBay seller protection<\/a><\/strong>, along with many others.

To successfully block a buyer, you&nbsp;<strong>should<\/strong>&nbsp;have either the&nbsp;<strong>user ID<\/strong>&nbsp;or the&nbsp;<strong>email<\/strong>&nbsp;associated with the user&#8217;s eBay account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll need to enter such information into the text box. eBay allows you to add up to 5000 users to your eBay block list, but hopefully, you never need to add that many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although eBay calls this a blocked buyer list, all usernames will be blocked regardless of their profile as buyers or sellers on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized size-full wp-image-35159\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-3.webp\" alt=\"ebay blocked bidder list\" class=\"wp-image-35159\" style=\"height:512px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-3.webp 776w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-3-300x193.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>eBay blocked the bidder list<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-submit-the-usernames\">Step 4: Submit the usernames<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enter all the usernames you wish to block, click Submit to update your eBay block list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to undo the changes, you can always delete the username in the text box.

If you prefer blocking messages on eBay, you must get to your <strong>eBay Buyer Managemen<\/strong>t page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find a section on the page stating, \u201c<strong>Don\u2019t allow blocked buyers to contact me<\/strong>.\u201d Switching on the function will also prevent blocked users from messaging you. That&#8217;s how you block someone on eBay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is the very last case any seller would want to. So, how do you avoid blocking eBay buyers?

Set eBay buyer requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Buyer Requirement eBay page contains a group of settings that allow you to automatically block certain users. These settings work as a user filter for specific buying standards. Users who are not qualified for your preset criteria will not be able to purchase or bid on your items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should implement these criteria with caution. You can and should use this function selectively to create a higher entry bar for purchasing from you.&nbsp;If you overuse it, you may suffer from a considerable decrease in your eBay sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set buyer requirements on the same Buyer Requirement page where you manage your eBay blocker bidder list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-image-35161\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-5.webp\" alt=\"buyer requirements ebay\" class=\"wp-image-35161\" style=\"height:512px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-5.webp 776w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-5-300x193.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Set buyer requirements on eBay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Requirements to set include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Number of cancellations during a specific time period;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users from certain locations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspective buyers with rogue behavior (i.e., trying to buy a great number of items from your store);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low buyer feedback score.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-report-buyer-on-ebay-in-questions\">2. Report buyer on eBay in questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having too much with an abusive buyer, you can ask eBay for a helping hand. Whether you are just suspecting or already experiencing an unwanted situation with a buyer, you can always report them. So, how do you report buyers on eBay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to go to the Seller Hub page on the eBay website. The accessing path is <strong>My eBay<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Selling<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Seller Hub<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>Seller Hub<\/strong> page, you can see the purchase details of all the buyers. In the Actions column, you will find a small dropdown arrow. Then, you click on <strong>Report a Buyer<\/strong> and proceed with your case without blocking eBay buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-get-help-from-the-resolution-center\">3. Get help from the Resolution Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of a scam and post-purchase harassment, deciding to block a buyer on eBay is not a resolution. This is when you should seek help from the eBay Resolution Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eBay Resolution Center is an online resolution center where eBay resolves disputes between buyers and sellers. For sellers, it is a secure method of filing a complaint about unpaid orders and scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporting for unpaid cases can protect your seller&#8217;s performance level. This is an additional benefit, as you can enable the Unpaid Item Assistant on your account to handle cases quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access eBay Resolution Center via your eBay homepage&#8217;s Help and Contact navigation. You can then open a request and fill in information for an unpaid transaction or sale cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, there are communication tools provided by eBay to assist you in responding to buyers&#8217; queries. In case the issue is yet to be resolved, you can call eBay Customer Service during regular business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-6.webp\" alt=\"block buyer list\" class=\"wp-image-35162\" style=\"height:512px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-6.webp 776w, https:\/\/litcommerce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Untitled-design-6-300x193.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-correct-your-ebay-transactions\">4.
