<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2070039, member: 69760&quot;]I have an idea to protect sellers on eBay from bad buyers. Nothing too spectacular though...</p><p><br /></p><p><u>A universal buyer block list</u>. eBay could allow sellers to subscribe to such lists by category or altogether. So, if a bad buyer screws over one seller, the buyer is screwing over all sellers (I&#039;ll call it the Seller Beware, or &quot;<i>All for one and one for all</i>.&quot; List). This would theoretically regulate and keep accountable the strong buyer protection program, and limit access to goods to fraudulent buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of waiting for eBay to implement such a list (unless one exists already, which I&#039;m unaware of), this can be done now with an ad hoc universal, shared list here on CoinTalk.</p><p><br /></p><p>The potential downside would be legitimate or &quot;reformed&quot; buyers who are blocked from buying coins and other goods due to a &quot;bad&quot; experience by one seller, who would otherwise be great buyers. So, <u>individual sellers would have to adhere to a set criteria to even add buyers to such a list (e.g. repeat offenses, time of last offense, degree of offense, substantiated proof, etc.)</u>. This would be much more streamlined if eBay were to pull data on this and do it themselves to permit users from entering a seller beware list, and I will probably ask them to do it via suggestion. Of course, such a program can be worked around by bad buyers, but I think it would make business easier for sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>OR</b> </p><p><br /></p><p>eBay could just label a buyer as restricted if they meet the same internal criteria as in the aforementioned universal block list, and sellers could deny bidding permission to restricted buyers, instead of having a universal list. They already have that platform in place, so this would just increase its limitation, so this may be easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: eBay&#039;s buyer requirements platform added.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]383070[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
