ebay buyer requirements

pinkgem

i have mine set to:

Your buyer requirements have been updated. Block buyers who: Are registered in countries to which I don't post. Have a feedback score of -1 or lower. Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days. Are currently winning or have bought 5 of my items in the last 10 days. Have no credit card on file. - Only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of 0 or lower.

i just wondered if i was being a bit harsh and also missing out on sales?

what does everyone else set theirs to?

i did that earlier, and that is what made me wonder if i was being too harsh and losing out on sales, this was the reason on the majority of blockings "Buyers who have a low feedback score and do not meet the criteria specified"

but for a moment i couldn't understand how it had blocked people with between 1-10 feedback, then realised they must have received more feedback after they had been blocked from bidding on my auctions.

so then my conclusion was that the people who were blocked for having 0 feedback had gone on to successfully make purchases with other sellers and maybe i should not have blocked them

so i'm now wondering if i should just remove the requirement of having a credit card on file to allow 0 feedback bidders but still block those in countries i don't ship to, with worse than -1 feedback and with 2 or more unpaid item strikes in last 30 days

Ive set these levels now, hopefully it will stop the random nigerians bidding on my samsung phone. Ive had to relist it 3 times now, and the last winner has a feedback of 1, and i dont think will pay. Ive also just sold a car radio to be contacted by the winning bidder saying is this a single slot player or a multichanger.. a cd player is usless to me. What a div, the picture is clearly a cd player. coudnt he of asked this before winning my auction!!
