Blocking buyers?

Post by knfcollector »

Is there any way of blocking specific buyers from making offers/ purchases from your store? I have someone who continues to make ridiculously low offers that both irritates me and wastes my time in responding. You would think he would get it by now?

I think I remember Bryan saying a year or so ago that you could
not block anyone,,not an option as a store owner...
sometimes turning your back and not responding at all gets
your point across to em....I would 1st tell him if its a really big
to do you are having with him you would not sell to him if he
paid full price, refund his money, maybe that would grab his attention ::shrug::

We've had a lot of requests for this. I will try to work in a solution next time I'm knee deep in the software.

Do you think a minimum offer amount may be the way to go... ie. if someone offers an amount lower than your choosing, it will be automatically rejected..?

I would be careful that any auto-responder code you add for this does not inadvertently create a way for a buyer to find the sellers minimum price. I suspect you would not want someone to inch up from a low price until they finally get a "real" response.

I think that sounds fine. Ebay has a feature like that to automatically reject an offer below XX dollars , and to accept any offer above XX dollars. I think it would work fine
