The Buyer Management tool (available in
"My eBay" under "My Account: eBay Preferences")
enables sellers to have more control over who may bid on their
listings. This feature helps to reduce post-transaction issues
and potential unpaid items.
Buyers are more likely to bid on your items if your payment methods
are clearly stated and easy to use. Listing with Buy
It Now and the Immediate Payments option also ensures that your item will
remain open until you get paid.
Buyer Management allows sellers to block bidders:
- From a country which they have not
designated they will post to in Sell Your Item (or other listing
tool).
- With a net negative feedback score.
- With two Unpaid Item strikes in the
last 30 days.
Sellers can also add specific buyers
to their Buyer Block Exemption List. For example, if a buyer attempts
to bid on an item and gets blocked, they can contact the seller
to request permission to bid. If the seller agrees, they can add
the buyer to their Exemption List.
Note: Use buyer blocking wisely. While helpful
in reducing the likelihood of Unpaid Items, it may also limit
the amount of bidders on your listing.
