Don't know if its him or not but one of my friends has a newbiee on his auction (which he hates! 0 feedback). He even stated on the Buyer Requirements who have a feeback score of -3 or lower he did tick this to block out new buyers. So then how come this buyer is bidding on his auction with out permission?????????. 0

Ebay never let anyone block 0 feedback bidders.
You can only block low feedback bidders if they don't have a credit card on file.
By the way - how would -3 block out 0? 0 is more than -3....My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
the -3 or lower box is only to block bidders that have a minus feedback...doesnt block zero bidders...0

Hey come on, everyone has to start somewhere. He could insist on a paypal a/c as a bit of a safety net. If people with zero feedback couldn't use e bay how would any of us have got started!
Blocking minus feedback is different - I do that as it just seems like common sense to me. I also block bidders from countries I don't ship to so as to narrow down chance of people bidding incorrectly but you can't want to block newbies!MTC NMP Membership #62 - made it back to size 12 after my children & I'm staying here!0 -
I thought it was just bidders with unpaid item strikes you could block - not ones just with zero or worse feedback.0

As has been said you cannot block zero rated buyers, you can however block those with an overall negative feedback.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Well I think your friend should remember that at some time in his e bay history he was a newbie with 0 feedback, and some kind soul allowed him to bid on their items and slowly build up a feedback rating
So why should he want to ban a 0 feedback newbie from bidding on his items we all have to start somewhere0
