Buyers with policy breach item specific

by Chris Dawson

Last week when the Buyer Preference to block bidders went live the second promised new buyer requirement, buyers with policy breaches, was missing. It’s now live on the site.

Options are to block buyers with between 4 and 7 policy breaches within the last month or last 6 months. 4 policy breaches appears quite generous - there’s not a lot a buyer can do wrong apart from not pay, demand extras not included in the listing, or feedback extortion.

Although I’ve set this buyer requirement on my account at 4 reported policy in 6 months I’m not expecting it will block too many buyers. Quite honestly if a buyer has been reported more than 4 times I’d hope that they’d either modified their buying behaviour, or been kicked off the site.

    Load of tosh anyway. I had a NPB turn around and say they are not paying the shipping price (as advertised in the auction) so I closed the UPI and gave them a strike. 2 days later I note they have appealed it and the strike is now removed - I am currently waiting for an explanation (and also confirmation that the fees will still be credited) from my PS account manager but not holding my breath.
