Hi

Read these two links.  Yes you can block members from contacting you.

Sadly some of your listings draw them in.  It is not a good idea to use live models for display of - for example - bikinis. 

You can block them from messaging.  Go to help and contact and search "block messages".  I think you can stop all members doing so.

Arkwebus i understand but I was receiving such messages more over my feet in sandals is the thing dear

[pastadenbon]

And I do not understand why people keep replying to me about I can block the messages...I m confused for that because that is not possible even eBay told me this multiple times I can only block members from buying and members sending such messages got no intention of buying ...

You have already been told how to block messages.

At one time there was a link in every message to report inappropriate content. This was removed, probably because ebay has more or less given up trying to deal with the endless torrent of insults and abuse beteen members.

For serious abuse of the messaging system like this I suggest that you phone eBy customer support to complain. You haven't told us whether you have already done this? People shouldn't be allwed to get away with this behaviour, but this is eBay's site and if they won't act on it there's nothing much more you can do.

Except, of course, refrain from using live models to model underwear etc. Most of the sellers who ask us about creepy behaviour have attracted the attentionof undesirables by the photos they use.

Hello red_magpie was you replying to me ? Saying I already been told how to block messages ? Sorry but did I have a conversation with you at some point? I m a bit confused how you know what I have been told or not ...and darling it is not possible to block members from messaging if you was unaware of that .you can only block people from buying and people who send these dirty messages have no intention of buying hence why they sending such messages .for your information I have reported all these people to eBay ok

[pastadenbon]

And red_magpie by the way you added at the bottom most sellers who receive creepy behavior have attracted the attention of undesirables by the photos they use ...really? Is that your option for photos of feet in sandals yeah ? Because these are the photos to which I was receiving dirty messages ok babe

You use the Blocked Bidders List and use the facility to Block Messages.

I suspect that persistant offenders can find ways round this but don't make it easy.

As already said, ads. should not be such that they invite these people.

You have posted on a Quick Answer Board where members can ask for help on specific transactions.

If you just want an in-depth discussion perhaps you would be better to re-post on one of the Discussion Boards.

You cannot stop members messaging you, but you can stop them bidding/buying your items:
