It Just May Get Worse - or - Better??? ***Unpaid Items: Buyer Management � Buyer Block Preferences Coming Soon*** Date: 08/09/04 Time: 09:30:43 AM PDT
We are pleased to announce that Buyer Management � Buyer Block Preferences, a new feature that allows sellers to have more control over who can bid on their listings, will be available in the next few days. This will allow sellers to run their businesses the way that suits them best, while helping to reduce post-transaction issues and potential Unpaid Items. Sellers will be able to turn on Buyer Management by modifying the �Buyer Block Preferences� area in the Seller Preferences section of My eBay. Buyer Management enables sellers to block buyers: >From a country to which they have not designated in Sell Your Item or other listing tools they will ship. With a net negative feedback score. With two Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days. Sellers can choose whether to apply any combination of the three blocks to their listings, which will take effect on any items listed after the block is turned on. Buyers who have been blocked by the seller will see a message showing the reason why their bid has been blocked. Sellers can also add specific buyers to their Buyer Block Exemption List. For example, if a buyer tries to bid on an item and gets blocked, they can contact the seller to request permission to bid. If the seller agrees, they can add the buyer to their Exemption List so that the blocks will not apply for that buyer. Please note: While helpful in reducing the likelihood of Unpaid Items, Buyer Block Preferences may also limit the amount of bidders on your listing. We will be hosting an online community workshop on Wednesday, August 11th, from 14:00 to 15:00 PT to answer your questions about this feature, review eBay�s other initiatives in this area, and show how you can minimize Unpaid Items. We have also updated the Ensuring Payment section of Seller Central to include information about this new feature. Regards, eBay __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
