What makes you block buyers / potential buyers?

So you would block me because i'm asking something that you, the seller, should have stated in your listing ?

Erm, no. I didn't say that, and I don't believe anyone else did either...

I was replying to the thread, i hadn't tagged you.

The point still stands... where did anyone say that they'd block someone for asking a question that wasn't answered by reading the listing?

I block a few people, those who start asking daft questions- and when i check have a habit of leaving poor feedback for other sellers - in fact if I come across a serial leaver of poor feedback for other sellers I tend to block anyway.

I have in the past blocked buyers who have started asking 'where is my item' (usually in capitals) a few hours after buying. I have also blocked those who want 'guarantees' who just scream they are going to be difficult ..I had one ask several questions about how difficult a clasp was on a vintage necklace, a question I have no problem with usually, but this one kept going on and on about whether their mother would be able to do the clasp- complete with medical history ..then could she clasp it herself, do I know how many people had worn this...it was endless. 

I have a good solution for that.  You can get a pair of tiny magnets that fit on the clasps making it super easy to fasten, unfasten the necklace.  There’s loads of different shapes and weights on Amazon

I've had an absolutely insane one this week...

My wife ended up in Intensive Care in London (thankfully she's on the mend and will be okay). I set myself as 'away'. Had message from a potential buyer asking if something was still available, I said it was but I'm currently away as my wife is in intensive care and I wouldn't be back until end of Nov...

He messaged "I need it sooner, can't you get someone to post it for you?" Nothing else.

Didn't respond and just blocked him.
