strikes

Hello,
Is there anyway in finding out if a buyer has strikes against them? I have a non payer and their feedback is 100% positive but with a few "would not recommend" type comments. I always thought you could neg npbidders - how are seller supposed to know before the bidding ends? TIA

    You don't know and even if you did you would be unlikely to be able to block a snipe bid.

    However most sellers have their settings to exclude bidders with 2 or more strikes, so if you have that set then you can be happy that the other sellers either had different issues or were too frightened to do a full NPB. If you haven't got your seller preferences set to exclude these time wasters, then go and do it now.

    block people with more than 2 strikes and members that do not have a CC on file.
