If we block a user can they send us a direct message through Ebay and will they get a notification or popup window telling them they have been blocked. We are getting un-solicited offers and they sell the same items (for every one we sell they sell 100 of the same type item)  we do so we think they want our item to resell. Thanks.

Actually in that post I asked how the heck was that buyer still able to message me and there was discussion about the rules or capabilities of a blocked buyer in messaging. But @tellmemama is correct. It’s not working correctly. I looked back at my messages received from that buyer (who was confirmed blocked), and the messages were linked to the item listing... which means the buyer was still able to message thru that listing. The purchase the buyer made was over 60 days ago too.

@tellmemama 

Are you blocking the bidder/buyer communication here?

Or here?

https://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BuyerBlockPreferences

Or somewhere else?

Both which are the only two I'm aware of unless there is some secret level I haven't found.  The buyers are still on my BBL and I have it set to not accept messages from blocked buyers. 

My buyer requirements are set at the strictest levels by the way.
