[muebele123]

Hi there

I am fairly new to selling and feel ever so jumpy since i had negative experience with one absolutely vile buyer

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. ,!

Hi

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: Add buyer requirements - opens in new window or tab Update buyer requirements exemption list - opens in new window or tab
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
