I hadn't looked at my blocked buyer activity log in a long time. It's sad because it's mostly Russian and Ukranian buyers who I miss very much, as they used to always bid my auctions way up high, pay immediately, and give me zero trouble.
But I don't understand this. Page after page there are ones who bid on the same auction dozens of times despite being blocked. How could they not get the message and give up after a few tries at most?
It doesn't display the times so I don't know how far apart the bids were. But the dates were not when the auctions closed so it's not even like they used sniper bots trying to win. Anybody know or have a guess???
Here are a couple of pages of examples, but my whole log looks like this, with the occasional 'too many item strikes' block here and there.

Looks like they're using a program for automatic bidding and the program is not recognizing the block so it keeps trying.

Looks like hijacked accounts being operated by bots.
