Blocking a buyer on eBay is one way to protect yourself from fraudulent or unpleasant transactions. Whether you want to block someone by name or for other reasons, eBay has a feature that lets you do so. However, it can be a little tricky to find. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to block a buyer on eBay.
1. Go to your eBay account and click on “My eBay” in the top right corner.
2. Click on “Accounts” in the drop-down menu.
3. Click on “Seller Account” and then “Seller Dashboard.”
4. Click on “Preferences,” which is located at the bottom of the page.
5. Scroll down until you see “Buyer Requirements” and click on “Edit.”
6. Click on “Blocked List” to add a name to the list of blocked buyers.
7. Enter the name of the buyer you want to block, separated by commas.
8. Click “Save.”
Once you block a buyer, they won’t be able to contact you or see the “Contact Seller” button on your Q&A page. However, they can still contact you about existing transactions unless you add them to your block list.
It’s important to note that if you have any unresolved issues with a buyer, you should try to resolve them first before blocking them. Additionally, eBay has a feature that allows you to report a buyer if they are engaging in fraudulent or suspicious behavior.
By following these steps, you can block buyers on eBay and protect yourself from potential scams or unpleasant transactions.
