    I took my DD to have her naval pierced when she was 15 and had mine done at the same time. Mr SA wasn’t impressed with either of us  😆 My DGD has just had her ears pierced at the age of 7. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Me too! I really thought I wanted a tattoo about 10 years ago and I never did it, I look back now and think I am glad I didn't do it. I did have my ears pierced but I am allergic to all kinds of a metal so gave them up! 

    I didn't know you could block people on that site. Hmmmm. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Pretty shocking, you have done well not to just ignore them!

    I'd block them now. 
    I’m just conscious of negative feedback! What if she bid the price and won? 🤦🏼‍♀️
    If you block her she cant then bid on it.  She sounds like trouble!

    I didn’t know this!
    There are troublemakers on Ebay just like anywhere else( nice people too!)  If you block her, she cant see your listing..
    I can almost smell them now particularly with messages like that. They think they can wear you down. Cut and run.x

    It's the same if you check a bidders feedback. If they don't pay, too many negs, you can block them. Eve

    I block them on the first neg.  My neg page is very long! I also warn other sellers...`Disappointing transaction ..NPB who doesn`t respond to messages`.

    You know more about this than I do! I’ve always just assumed you’ve had to put up with anyone who bids/buys. I’ve had a few non payers that I’ve logged but it never shows anywhere that I can see it. 

    I have three tattoos! All mean something from a point in my life. I’m after number 4 but will wait till I can save up. X
