How do I go about blocking bidders who has retracted their bids on my items?

[depechemodegirl68]

Hi all,

just to ask how I can go about blocking bidders who bids on my items and then after a while retracts their bids? I'm getting quite fed up with this now,as it's been happening far too many times now and I don't see a reason for wanting to do any business with people like that. I'm a private seller,so it's getting increasingly frustrating and it's also annoying. It never seems to be a wrong amount entered etc,just bidders who placing a bid and after a few days/or a week retracts it. For some sellers it might come across as petty etc,but it does irritate me,as it's never a reason provided to why they've retraced their bid,well I can't seem to access it,I've tried clicking on the link provided by eBay but I've never been able to see why they've retracted the bid. I could accept it if they've retracted the bid within a few hours,but not after several days,just frustrating as I'm try my hardest to sell my stuff. Saying that,what I really want to know is how I can go about blocking a bidder who is doing this,as I would feel secure in my knowledge that I'm  stopping people like that from placing a bid on any of my items. Thanks in advance for your help guys,cheers

Click on this link Add an eBay member to my Blocked Bidder/Buyer List and a big white box will appear on the screen.  Add the User ID of the person you want to block to the box and then click on "Submit".  As the bidder in question has recently bid on your auctions the blocks may take a bit longer than usual to kick in, but once they take effect the nuisance bidder will not be able to place any bids on anything you've got listed for sale.
