    You can block low feedback buyers (e.g under 5 or under 10) from bidding on your items when you list the item.

    Also rather than leaving them negative comments why not just ignore them and block them from bidding on your items again? I'm sure the loss of some pains in the neck won't affect selling volumes that much.

    You can't block bidders with positive feedback you can only block bidders with an overall negative feedback. The only exception to that is that you cna block bidders hwo do not have a registered paypal account if they also have 5 or less feedback.

    I think everyone also automatically blocks bad buyers they come across, but the point regulars are trying to make is that still leaves that buyer able to harrass other sellers. Therefore as a whole buyers have freedom to do what they want.
