Hi all,

This eBay announcement was made 08/09/04. The options are available now. I guess it took a while to implement.

I like it. How about you?

Buyer Management enables sellers to block buyers:

1. From a country to which they have not designated in Sell Your Item or other listing tools they will ship.

2. With a net negative feedback score.

3. With two Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days.

P.S. to Jack - Too bad they didn't narrow it down to states or regions but it's a start...

Lucy...Thanks for posting that. I just went in and eliminated a whole bunch of potential headaches. Ebay finally came up with an enhancement that makes sense

Thanks Lucy...I didn't see that announcement. I marked the Unpaid Item Strike one.

Sparkz...Are there countries you don't sell to and why?

In theory being able to block bidders with 2 unpaid auction is great. However the eBay records must be kept up to date by bidders & sellers for this information to be accurate. I just realized that I had several unpaid auctions showing under my own 'My eBay' page. People who send checks & money orders still show as unpaid until you manually go in & remove the auction. This system would eliminate too many good bidders to be effective for me.

That WILL be nice. Unless I am totally blind, I can't find it. Don't see it in place anywhere yet.

Chatham Sue - I am hoping they mean 2 NPB's filed against them..I don't think that our marking an item "paid" in My Ebay goes to the Buyer's "My Ebay"..DOES IT??

The problem we have with this is, most of our items we have listed as will ship to USA only - but SOME items that are easy to package and have higher value, we open those listings up to will ship Worldwide.

If we set up 'blocking' from int'l., it will do no good to mark 'worldwide'.

It will only block bidders who have Unpaid Item Strikes against them.

I think when you have an item as unpaid on your My eBay it shows that way on the buyers My eBay also. I don't use it and have had buyers e-mail me all worked up because they paid with a credit card and it still shows as unpaid.
