Seller block should be allowed. Besides reporting a seller what else can a buyer do?

[amyrawr123]

I've recently had an issue with a seller, the seller has best offer on the item and so I sent a message asking if they'd accept an amount for just one of the two items in the listing. The sellers response was rude and curt ending in lots of exclamation marks and saying 'not worth it' I offered £6 for an item listed as 13£ for two. Was happy to go higher but he didn't give me a chance, as then when I decided I'd just buy the two items I've found I've been blocked. This is bad customer service for a seller, he could've made a sale. I have 100% feedback I sell and buy things. I'm a private seller. I would never react so abruptly or rude to an potential buyer. And for no reason block them. This seller is supposedly high rated good feedback. I can't work this out with the attitude I received how. There needs to be a way for buyers to block sellers and also ebay should let blocked users know why they have been blocked and explain their side with evidence. Using seller report is only for extreme cases or if a transaction has happened and needs resolving. So what can we do to make sure buyers are treated with respect by sellers? And vice versa, sellers don't deserve uncourteous behaviour. Potential buyers should be made aware of sellers with nasty attitudes. Customer service is still the key rule of selling.

Potential buyers should be made aware of sellers with nasty attitudes.

EBay used to include a link in every listing to report abusive content. They removed it years ago.

I think they've given up on the endless torrent of insults and abuse betweel their millions of members.

Just be grateful that this seller's response warned you about his attitude.

His own foolishness has now lost him a buyer.
