Do eBay Buyers know if You Block Them?
If you want to block an eBay buyer and wonder if they can tell you have blocked them, then yes, they can. A blocked buyer will see your listings, yet that is as far as they can go. There is no way for them to bid or buy.
Many sellers use the right-click block in listings as this can help stop anyone copying photos and text from search results to start a new post.

How Do I Block Someone on eBay 2022?
eBay sellers are in control who can bid on and buy their items.
They can block particular buyers or impose buyer requirements on the basis of specific criteria.
So, when you have an issue with a buyer that you don’t want them to be buying or bidding on your items, simply add them to your list of blocked buyers.
They will not have the option to bid or buy anything from you unless you decide to remove them from the blocked buyer’s list.
Block a Buyer on eBay
Here are the simple steps you need to follow to block any buyer.
- Navigate to the Block Bidders or Buyers from your listings page.
- Enter the username of the buyer or buyers inside the given text box (eBay allows you to add up to 5,000 buyer names)
- Select “Submit”
It is possible for you to restore any previous blocked bidder or buyers by selecting your restore list.
Unblock a Buyer
It is easy to remove buyers from your blocklist at any time you desire.
- Head to the Block Bidders or Buyers from your listings page.
- Merely delete the username of the blocked user and delete it from your text box
- Select submit
Setting Buyer Requirements
If you wish to set individual buyer requirements, this filters buyers as they shop by category for specific products.
For instance, you could block buyers in countries you don’t ship to or even more specific buyers with cases of unpaid items.
- Head to Selling preferences in My eBay.
- Scroll down to your Buyer requirements. Select Edit next to Block buyers who.
- Enter any preferences and select Submit.
When using eBay as a buyer or a seller, it can be wise to use a VPN. If you face any blocks, you can use these to circumvent any blocks to carry on buying or selling than being blocked from doing either.
