I recently had a potential buyer contact me 3 times regarding an item I was selling . He said he wanted to buy the item and requested bank details and my address .
After the 3rd message I blocked him . When I tried to report him , I am finding it impossible , as he did not buy the item . How do I report this person , so that he doesnt try this with another user ?
The best thing to report them for is asking for your address. This is not allowed, in case the buyer and seller make a private sale to evade paying eBay's fees. The fraud that eBay is most worried about is attempts to cheat eBay itself!
To report this, see: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/report-trading.html
