i am an ebaymember for 13 years i predominently buy.

any advice how to protect myself other then being honest and fair?

thank you Gabriele

PS it's now water under the bridge Ebay dealt with the buyer they assured me , that this kind of threatening and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated on ebay.

I AM GLAD TO HEAR. ,!

i know i feel like that at times too.

Read this and maybe up your bidder requirements?

There are several things you can do to manage who you do business with on eBay.

Buyer requirements

You can set requirements to exclude buyers who:

Have a delivery address in countries you don't want to post to
Have a negative feedback score
Have unpaid item cases
May bid on several items and not pay for them
Don't have a PayPal account
Have violated eBay policies

However, you can still allow certain buyers to bid on or buy your items by adding them to your exemption list.

More actions:

Block bidders or buyers

You can block up to 5,000 buyers from bidding on or buying your items. To block a buyer, add their user ID or email to your blocked buyers list.

To unblock a buyer, delete them from your blocked list.

More actions:

Update blocked buyers list - opens in new window or tab

Cancel a bid

While we don't recommend that sellers cancel bids, there may be legitimate reasons for doing so, such as:

A bidder asks you to retract their bid
You can't verify a bidder's identity after trying to contact them
You end your listing early

Once you cancel a bid, you can't restore it.

More actions:

Cancel a bid
