    My last blocked bidder, was a newbie, I assume without a credit card. She contacted me to ask why she couldn't bid but I didn't read it until after the lot had ended. I messaged her & said that I would lift it the next time it was listed, if she was still blocked, (thinking that she may get some FB beforehand) Fast forward a couple f weeks, went to check her FB & glad that I did, as she had 3 FB, but hadn't paid for anything.
    I don't know if the sellers realise that leaving +FB brings up her score and soon will be able to bid on items that she'd be blocked from by most sellers. (Yes I know that it isn't allowed)
    Anyway now blocked by name, she tried to bid on the same item twice over the weekend.

    Another good reason for not leaving a false positive!

    My blocked bidder logs are fascinating, I have some bidders on there blocked due to the amount of strikes who have feedback in the thousands.

    As shown in post 8.
  • Strange just checked my activity log for this account and the person who won the item was on the list twice as being blocked for being in a country I don't post too so how come she got a successful bid on it?

    How do you see their feedback score as all my bidders who had strikes it doesn't show their Ebay ID just has a *.
