Does this feature let you add emails of people you do not want to bid or the other way around...you add bidders to the list you want to bid
I was under the impression that it was bidders you add to the list whom you want to bid on your product

I went to the link ...Do you have to ask ebay to remove someone and do you have to ask them to add someone ...
I am interested i think it's a good idea but i would like to get your option red deer ...
say you had a deadbeat...instead of ticking the deadbeat off do you think it would be better just to add them to the list...also i noticed it is only 1000 max
Other then the fact that you would get less bids what other problems do you see red deer

Click on the button that says "Continue", then add whomever you want to the list.
It's pretty straightforward.
I don't see any problems, other than someone who's determined will simply sign up with a new ID and bid anyways.

sasoony: You must block each of the 20 million AOLers plus each of their additional screen names, for a total of about 100 million. It took me just about all day long.

morgantown; It would make good business sense if those AOLers were newly registered with (0) feedback.
I use to sell newly released sports card boxes on eBay. Most dealers would receive their shipments within 1 or 2 days of each other and list them on eBay.
All of my listings started receiving bids from newly registered AOL accounts driving the price of my auctions up to $65 and $75 while my competitors boxes were still at $50 to $55.
Their auctions closed with a reasonable profit in the $50 range. My auctions closed at $70 to $75 and were useless.
My competitors from AOL discovered it was less risky than shill bidding on their own auctions and just as profitable drive the price up on my boxes so theirs would look like a bargain.
Do you know what AOL did to stop this? Yes, thats right!! NOTHING!!!

My fault. That should say "Do you know what eBay did to stop this?"
And after 3 years they are still doing it. 90 to 95% of the scams on eBay are done with bogus AOL accounts. Ebay knows it and does nothing, because requiring AOLers to verify their accounts would cost eBay money.
