Ebay - can I stop someone messaging me?

Luckily I've got my buyer requirements set up well enough to stop them from actually bidding, but someone with 50% feedback keeps sending me messages asking me to let him buy one of my items! He sent 3 this morning, I replied saying if he doesnt meet the requirements he cant buy from me but thanks anyway. He's sent another two since!
I've also added him to my blocked bidders list just in case something changes. Its just plain annoying, theres still 2 days left on the listing. Is there a way I can block him from messaging me?

    No, but you can ring Ebay. I had a similar problem a while ago. They sent an internal message to the buyer along the lines of pestering a person when not within a transaction is against Ebay policy. It stopped immediately.
