Selecting buyer requirements...

Have had quite a few NPB in the last couple of months so I am thinking of blocking certain buyers - how far do you go?
Obviously I don't want to reduce the number of potential buyers I get, but I am getting fed up with time wasters.
For example buyers with unpaid items recorded - how many do you allow over 2 months or 6 months
Or buyers with policy breach reports or negative feedback...

    I do the maximum blocks you can select on Blocked Bidders. In addition to that, anyone who messes me about gets added to the blocked list where you manually enter their ID. I think that over the 11 years I've had an Ebay account, the list is in the 100's. Once you're on there, you ain't coming off no matter how much you email me and promise me the earth.

    I too set my seller preferences as tight as possible. Two NPB strikes in a year and I don't allow them. My logs often run into dozens of blocked buyers due to the amount of strikes they have.
