    Fraud Buyer Alert

    I may be wrong on this,just looked and it appears you can only block buyers with a history of non payment or by location or manually cancel a bid ,maybe after stating a limit in the description sorry

    Fraud Buyer Alert

    you can set a minimum number of transactions in the settings on ebay.this means no bids will be accepted from buyers with below the set number,not a guarentee but worth doing if selling something valuable in my mind.

GH appear to be shipping much more regularly than in past times. Germaines ,how ever is another...
