Yahoo auctions has the abiltiy to blacklist a bidder.
eBay should impliment this support as well.
As a seller, I sometimes run into the deadbeat bidder who decides to have some fun and start bidding up my auctions.
Sure in 17 days I'll be able to run off the half dozen or so NPBs but that would be a potenal loss of thousands of dollars for the month and most computer hardware decreases in value by 20% in that time period (I sell high end computer stuff, so thousands is a real number and a 20% loss is true in that market.)
I'm sure that other sellers would like to have this ability to mitigate damage from bad bidders without having to spend every waking moment policing their auctions.
