I don't think they will mind what you put as long as you realise you can't enforce it. Your request would not stop a buyer bidding and if they win you can't refuse to sell without going through the whole NPB process and risking a neg, which is exactly what would happen to anyone else with or without your requirements.

There are new seller preferences now including being able to block bidders with a certain number of strikes in the past year and buyers with complaints against them so go and recheck your preferences. As long as each of their negs is backed by a strike they would not then be able to bid anyway.

I appreciate that this is A) off topic , pedantic and C) would require work on behalf of the seller but what if the seller reviewed every leading bidder and decided to cancel bids where the prospective buyers HAD left 3 negs/neutrals in the timescale - could this work?

Yes this would work and I have actually pulled a bidder from one of my auctions in the past week. However a large percentage of people on high end goods use sniper bids so you wouldn't have a chance of seeing their bids or removing them before they win the auction.

Very good idea but a lot of people bid in the last minute in my auctions .
