If not a scammer, then at the very least someone I want nothing to do with.
So this individual emails me asking for an additional photo of a listed item. They are very rude from the outset, and when I upload the photo to the listing they send an insulting message. So I block them and cancel their bids.
An hour later they bid on the same item (the same price, using a username identical aside from the last number - I know, what an Einstein). So I block that user too and cancel the bids.
An hour later I looked at my listings and I knew exactly what I'd find. A zero-feedback user registered today has bid the identical amount on the same item, and also on another. I reported all three of their accounts to Ebay but of course they'll do nothing.
It's likely they're a scammer, or are trying to win the auction then not pay, or intend to leave negative feedback to 'get even', but even if they're just some horrible scrote with no manners I will not be selling to them.
If I cancel these bids and block they'll just create another user immediately. There's no option to block buyers with zero feedback (thanks, Ebay) so all I can think of is to log in immediately before the listings end and clean up.
Is there a better option that anyone can suggest?
