Can I block a bidder 'just because' or does there have to be a valid reason?

I have someone interested in an item of mine, that I don't want to buy it, and I wondered if I can just block them?

Thanks

    Yep, just block them. I block people for all sorts of reasons from dodgy sounding IDs to strange feedback left for other sellers.

    Cool thanks!

    I love the dodgy name response! :rotfl:

    I remember once looking for local items and some seller had a name that involved staffy dog, (I am absolutely petrified of dogs) so I gave that one a wide berth! There are some weirdos out there with right stupid names tho.
