Wish Ebay had a way to block -1 feedback bidders, always make me nervous. One just purchased with BIN. Just out of curiosity, how many negatives does it take to get suspended or NARU's - This guy has zero positives and 1 negative.

it takes 4 NPB warnings or a -4 feedback to get NARUd.
Good luck to you.

I just cancelled bids on my auctions from TWO bidders with -2 and not one positive. Both for non payment. This past week I have had so many people bidding on items and not following through. I canceled out both of these bidders even though that makes the bidding amount go down. My time and frustration level is worth more to me!

I had one last week with -2..made me real nervous. He got outbid, then rebid, and bugged me with emails the whole time of the auction. I decided to take a chance instead of cancelling, hoping for some snipers. Didn't happen. BUT, he was the FIRST one to pay, and he paid immediately! I was lucky

Do you have a link that tells how to remove a bidder on an auction still in process?
lurking is not an option

Hello everyone,
A while ago I put a bidder on my block bidder list without cancelling his bid. The bid stayed in place so the high bid didn't drop.
I'm assuming they wouldn't have been able to bid again. Not sure but it worked for me.
JMHO

That actually isn't a bad idea - have a way to allow only people with a certain # of feedback to bid on your item....

I don't think blocking low number's is a good idea. The way it is now is just fine, if your uneasy just cancell the bid. The reason I say blocking is not good is beacuse everyone would be blocking low number's! Just imagine how you would feel if you were new to the game and no one would let you put in a bid. How would you ever get started? And you would get PO'ed and give up. We all started with Zero, remember that! Where would we all be now if no one let us bid?

I wouldn't block a zero bidder, they usually are very good for me. I have had luck with -1 people as well. My original point was that since the item sold with buy it now, I could not cancel their bid if I wanted to. I would like to see that option exist, and even for regular items for auction that anyone with an overall negative rating could not bid. -1 people always make me nervous.

I have mostly always had good luck with 0 feedback bidders. A few have had -2 and one had -3 when he bid and won and they all paid. The ones with all negatives were sales under $50 so I wasn't overly worried.
I think some categories just draw the bad bidders.
