A malicious bidder messing around with my listing

[pcdb24]

Someone has decided they want to really p me off and there is nothing I can do about it.

I have a listing that someone keeps placing stupid bids on - every time I cancel and block them they open a new account and do it again.

At least 20 times so far - only listed it last night - but this is on going.

We used to be able to stop people bidding with less than 10 feedback unless they made contact first - why has this option been taken away.

Seems like we have no protection from these kind of people

I'm not sure that has ever been allowed,  I mean you and me had less than 10 feedback once,  and I'm sure we'd be angry to be blocked from wishing to buy an item.

Malicious bidding can be reported,  use the Help & Contact tab above,  and scroll around  for the Live Chat option,  as lines are down due to Covid,  and report your findings.

Put these bidders on your blocked buyers list.

It did used to be an option - before you were using Ebay - probably.
They could only bid if they contacted you first, it stopped all the jokers bidding for fun and not paying.
I have reported it twice and done the live chat twice for almost an hour - but still can't stop them doing it.
Had the cancel listing again.

Some people are so frustrating

you could block bidders with 10 or less feedback who didn't have a credit card on file,


you couldn't just block everyone with 10 or less fedback

Well I've been on eBay on another account since just before 2001 , I have several accounts . So blocking people with less than 10 feednback they also had to have no credit card on file, as far as my memory takes me ! @pcdb24
