I can not block a buyer

Last week a 'potential' buyer placed a bid on an item, then later in the day ebay messaged me stating the bid had been withdrawn. I didn't think anything of it.

Two days ago, the listing came to an end, so I relisted it, with a much lower 'starting price'

I received a bid, then again later in the day ebay once again messaged me stating the bid had been withdrawn.

Funnily enough, it was the same item and on checking, the same buyer. Looking at bid history, the reason was given as 'bid wrong amount' but now lower bid was made.

I thought I would just block the buyer, but the system wasn't letting me. I forget now why, but I've blocked many folk, so know what I'm doing

UPDATE !

I've just tried again and this time it worked.

    Glad you got it sorted , ebay seems very glitchy at the moment.
