blocking buyers

Hi, 

 

I'm wondering what it looks like from a buyer's POV when I block them. Can they still see my listings? 

If so, what happens if they try to buy something? Will they know beforehand that they are blocked?

 

I'm trying to decide whether or not to block a buyer, of course. Thanks anyone for your answers, or information I might not have thought about.

Re: blocking buyers

Blocked buyers can still see your listings, but if the blocked buyer tries to bid or buy, they will see an error message to the effect that the seller is not accepting bids or offers from the user.

They can see your listings but when they go to bid or purchase they will be informed that they cannot make any bids or purchases.

When you block the buyer, it's a good idea to be sure that the setting to auto-block communication from blocked buyers is also turned on. See this link:
