Is there a way to ban certain buyer(s) from auctions?

Can someone please tell me how to ban a certain buyer(s) from my auctions?Do I have to wait until they put a bid on an item then cancel it or is there somewhere on e-bay to ban buyer(s) so thay can't place bids at all on my items?

Thanks all......

    Goto http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/block_bidders.html and enter their username; it stops them bidding on your items

    Also worth going to http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BuyerBlockPreferences and selecting some of the tools there

    Thanks for the info/links, these options should be better publicised by eBay.

    ah. Sorry to hear that - is there anyway of knowing that we are dealing with a bad lot? So far, I've not had any problems with buyers or sellers, but the more I read the more I realise that Ebay is full of unpleasant people. By the way I have only been on Ebay for 1 month!

    Well my best piece of advice I can pass on is DON'T leave any feedback whether you're buying or selling until the other person has.If the other person thinks the same and doesn't leave any either then I shouldn't worry about it.I'd rather not have feedback left for a few items than make the same mistake I did twice.
