Block List

A friend was saying that there's a buyer who played the fool with her "For Sale" items on Lelong. Well, I know how it feels like as 90% of my items on Lelong are "For Sale" too, as opposed to live auction. Well, that's really up to the seller.

The thing is, we, "For Sale" sellers, we also face our share of joy buyers and the problem is unlike auction sellers, there's nothing much that we could do to warn other sellers of such joy buyers because everything would be conducted via email so we aren't even able to leave a negative feedback or something like that.

The only thing that we could do is place these joy buyers in our Block List so that they (this ID) would not be able to come and disturb our sale again. However, of course they could set up another ID and do something similar, if they have so much time in the world to do so.

Personally, though, I do not like to place anyone in my Block List. I think that even a joy buyer or joy bidder has the chance to shop with us sometime in the future, after they have changed their mind, or finally have enough trust in online shopping.
