Hey There-
Some person(s), is trying to Sabatoge my New Ebay Account, is there anyway to block bidders with zero Feedback? I'm fully aware one can block bidders with --1, -2, -3, etc....however what about Zero Feedback?
I'm sure this person(s) is going to keep opening up one account after the next, what should I do. I don't really feal like sitting in front of my System/Computer 24/7 and monitoring all my listings.
Cheers,
RC

Are zero feedback buyers different than buyers with feed back? Why not go to the block bidder list and enter his user ID and see what happens unless you have already tried that. Seems that they should be no different that the others. Good Luck

I don't think so.
Can't you get the contact information on them on a few ID's and report them to ebay.
I had a friend that this happen to also. They bid on 10 of her auction (outbidding on some) and then would not pay. She reported the non-payment and then got a rash of new id's bidding on her stuff.

Already did the "Blocked Bidder Thing", however all they have to do is open up another account which is pretty easy to do. I pulled thier contact info, ofcourse Bogus Number, Name Etc.
I just tracked their IP address...what do you know the same City, State our competition is located....stupid idiots used a "Paid ISP Email Address". I've already contacted SBCGLOBAL.net abuse, however it litteraly "Takes AN Act Of Congress", or someone in law enforcement to "Pull Their Contact Info", Registered User(s), of Email account etc...any other ideas?

Unless you set your auctions up as "pre-approved bidders only" there's not much you can do except keep reporting your suspicions to Ebay and hope someone eventually notices and takes action against them. Don't hold your breath waiting, though.

Not that I know of. If it were me, I would be doing everything I can to find out who it was. Then I would go to work scaring the hell out of them.

Open yet ANOUTHER account and DON'T list anything they may recognize for a few months anyway. Ya might get lucky and they finally just slither away.....E bay will do NOTHING....even if the evidence is clear as a bell,,, it's the SAME person Ebay,,,,Sorry we at e bay can understand your frustrations,,,,blah, blah,,,,however we're too damn lazy to bother with doing any INVESTIGATING for you as OUR Client. As long as we continue to collect our fees even if you are screwed over by some low life like this we really care less....Have a wonderful e bay experience.

Wish it were that easy however it simply isn't. I spent lot's of time money..etc "Test Marketing Certain Products". I know exactly who this person(s) is, if I have to get a lawyer I will, for violating the Sherman Anti Trust act. I'm not going to just sit back and take it up the "Azzzz". This person(s), violating our right to Free Trade...
