Is it possible to 'block' someone from bidding on your item on eBay? I'm selling an old Scott and another user keels asking me daft questions about it. I know if he buys it he will cause hassle.

Whiles you're there, set up countries you will post to (or rather countries you won't...). Saves some guy from Lituania bidding and winning then starting the whole "my mates in the UK next week, can I get him to pick it up..." scam.

Someone once 'bought' a PC monitor off me, never came to collect it and then left me neutral feedback. Every time he lists something to sell, I use a fake account and win the item. Must have done it about 6 or 7 times now... 😈

that sounds a bit 'stalky' DBW. Time to move on i reckon.

I will move on. Maybe after a few more auctions... Mwahahaha!

catflees, you didn't buy a PC monitor from someone in Halifax and never collect it did you? 😉

Ha ha no Davey! Thanks for the laughs and the tips everyone. The bidder is now suspicious of me. I listed the bike saying the frame was too big for me (I brought it as a 17 but it's nearer 19) I photographed it with the seat slightly raised (I think bikes look better this way) the bidder thinks it could be stolen as he's decided I could not find the frame was too big if the seat was raised, I also don't have the original purchase reciept (the bikes got to be of a 1995 vintage) and apparently the photos don't seem accurate they were taken on a sunny day and the day I listed it was raining in my county...

...And block.

I thought the rule was that if they ask you loads of questions they never go on to bid on it anyway?
