Persistent questions from unsuccessful bidder

[trelyfrow]

I recently sold an item on Ebay and the transaction went sucessfully- including positive feedback from the buyer. However I have been receiving emails from an unsuccessful bidder who firstly requested I cancel the sale so he could offer me a higher price. I refused. He has subsequently asked for the sucessful bidder details so he can make them an offer. I refused to do this. He has now looked at one of my other items and is asking questions on that- and also asking me to contact the successful bidder from the sold item! I have sold on ebay for several years but never encountered an issue like this. I am concerned that if he buys something from me that negative feedback etc will be left. Has anyone else experienced this type of behaviour and how did you deal with it.

Add the buyer to your blocked bidders list here:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/bmgt/BuyerBlock?

And go to Help and Contact and find your seller preferences and block your blocked bidders from contacting you.

You can do without this sort of buyer harrassing you.

Thanks- really helpful.

Stop replying to his messages, add his Ebay ID to your Blocked Bidders List (Account...Site Preferences...Buyer Requirements), and check the box that also stops blocked members from messaging you.

By the way, in case you're unaware, if you had passed the winning bidder's details on to this person, you'd have breached strict data protection laws. Your winning bidder could have successfully sued you.
