exjordanary: Should Sellers be able to BLOCK Abusive Buyers??

Upvotes by exjordanary

Please give your opinion as to whether you think Sellers should have the option to BLOCK certain Problem Buyers from being able to purchase their Gigs in the future.

This may be a better solution than an Abusive Buyer "List" since it wont have to be something Public.

What are your thoughts??

Yes certainly, but there should be also counter check in some way to prevent any misuse of the features.

Jordan, I've noticed a number of Obvious "Abusive Buyers" such as the one spoken of in the Comment written in the FAQ entitled :

"Did anyone of you ever face an dishonest buyer who didn't pay after delivering the order?"

See Screenshot :

On other occasions, there have been times shortly after an Order has Completed that it's obvious that the Buyer is scamming (being that there was no effort made to make contact or resolve in any other manner). At which point, I wished I could've added them to my personal "Block List" as to avoid future similar incidents.

Thanks for looking into this Jordan!! Your attention to this is MUCH APPRECIATED!!

I think this option should be there,but I think it won't be very effective as the blocked buyer may register again with different ids to buy sellers gigs again.
How can we prevent that buyer permanently from buying gigs?
Thanks

Via their Paypal Account. PayPal goes through great lengths to verifyAccount Holder's Identity and to make sure multiple accounts aren't used. Since Buyers need to use their Paypal Account to purchase your Gig, we can take advantage of Paypal's security since they already provide it for their own reasons.

OR, we could implement a Feedback System for BUYERS too. Not just Sellers. This way Sellers can leave a Positive/Negative Rating for Buyers. This may be much easier to do, but then you need to consider the "retaliation" Factor.
Should we Vote??
