Actually there is. Go to your account tab and on the drop down menu select Site Preferences, and then under Selling Preferences scroll down to Buyer requirements, and click Show, and then click Edit. Scroll down to: Buyers who may bid on several of my items and not pay for them...Set this one to: 1 ( Block buyers who are currently winning or have bought 1 of my items in the last 10 days. ) and set this one to: 0 ( Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of 0 or lower.)
You post the exact text of the block, then you fail to understand it. OP is trying to sell ONE item. Their goal is to prevent zero/low feedback buyers from bidding on or buying that ONE item. The block you're advocating here only blocks buyers "who are currently winning or have bought 1 of my items in the last 10 days".
Please explain how that option, which blocks people AFTER they've bid on the item, is useful to the OP, who wants to block them BEFORE they bid on the item.
When you set your values to 1 and 0, the system blocks all buyers that are currently placing a winning bid on your item and also have 0 FB. I can change both values to reflect a buyer that is placing bids on more than one item and increase the FB limit to 5 maximum.
Yes, we know what the setting does. Why do you not understand that an option that blocks someone from bidding on MORE THAN ONE OF YOUR ITEMS doesn't help an OP who is offering ONLY ONE ITEM?
Because they use the term more, because you can set your value all the way up to 100 items. In the past sellers have had problems with buyers opening an account and bidding on all their inventory with no intention of paying, but just to cause problems for the seller/and or other buyers (when ID's were public during bidding). This helped with that issue to some extent for those that know it exists.
