Why doesn't eBay have an option for Good Buyers to block BAD SELLERS?

Question

SELLERS can block buyers, but why can't GOOD BUYERS block BAD SELLERS?! And not only that, but why us it that The GOOD BUYER can have their negative or neutral comments taken down by the BAD SELLER, it appears?! That is not right and not fair!Buyers are the lifeblood of a good auction. But only if they are in turn treated with respect and admiration! EBAY is a "Failing Institution" now thanks to the slothful workers they hire and by letting deadbeat BAD SELLERS onto its platform!!! I have had to...

Hi @kidgallahad74-3

Over the years, many buyers have expressed an interest in a blocked seller list. The more buyers who let eBay know, the better the chance of it happening someday.

Go to the eBay homepage and scroll down until you see the question mark at the bottom right. Click that to get to the link where you can give eBay your feedback on this.

Alternatively (or in addition), you can leave your suggestion here:

https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/member-behavior-policies/unsolicited-idea-submissions-policy?id=4256&st=3&pos=3&query=Unsolicited%20idea%20submissions%20policy&intent=suggestion%20box&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1228

(I would leave out the parts about buyers being the lifeblood of eBay and that you consider it a failing institution, etc. and just go straight to the point... you want a blocked seller list so you can avoid buying from specific sellers that you don't want to do business with.)

In the upper right hand corner of your post use the drop down menu and click Edit. You can Edit your post within 24 hours of posting it.

As to the suggestion, personally I think that should be allowed but the programming for that might be a challenge for eBay.
