How do I block a Business Seller who breaks eBay Policy by having a space in its name?
How do I block a Business Seller who breaks eBay Policy by having a space in its Username?
The space appears to make it impossible to add that Username to my Exclude List.

OP2 months agoISSUE RESOLVED
Business Sellers who appear to break eBay Policy by having a space in their displayed Usernames can be blocked after all.
Noting that a displayed name may not be the same as the registered name.
Solution:
Go to 'Seller's other items ()' page;
Select 'Search all ...';
The registered name, without any spaces, , e.g. 'TVBuyCo' is then shown instead of the displayed name 'TV Buy Co';
Add that name to your Exclude List.

Mentor4 months agoUsernames cannot include spaces, are you sure there's not a . or _ in the name, try copy & paste the name and don't forget to separate usernames or email addresses with a comma and space

Mentor4 months agoI'm not clear how any legitimate eBay seller could have a space in their username. This isn't allowed, see below.
I suggest that you are cautious in any dealings with them. You could be led to a bogus, fake account.
Your eBay username must follow these rules:

Mentor4 months agoThat's interesting. There are many usernames that don't follow those rules, including all of mine!
I wonder if the rules are relatively new, i.e after I set up my accounts and usernames?

They must be, but presumably are not retrospectovely applied to existing accounts - especially re. including numbers, and some symbols. I don't think any of mine include all of these.
The prohibition on spaces has applied for as long as I can remember.

Mentor4 months agoNothing wrong with having a space in user name.
Copy & paste the ID into exclude list.
