Pre-approved bidder/buyer de-approved
by Chris Dawson
This post was written in February 2007; specific information contained within it may be out of date.
In December we spotted notices on the Bidder/Buyer Management page stating that the pre-approved bidder feature would be phased out. This was eventually officially confirmed in an announcement by Gareth Griffith (GG) in January. The feature will remain in place only for high-profile charity auctions which eBay will enable on a case by case basis.
The feature has now disappeared from the Bidder/Buyer Management page leaving just the Buyer Requirement Preferences (Which ALL sellers should take a look at), Blocked Bidder/Buyer list and Buyer Requirements Exemption list.

It’s a highly unique auction and we’re delighted to facilitate.” And faciliate they have: sellers might like to notice that Spyker’s high-profile auctions are preapproved bidders only, a feature that was removed from general availability in January.
