Did she ever say that the restriction was for? Any way you look at it, it's probably best that you don't sell to this person -- she sure sounds like trouble. I mean "a few strikes from unpaid items"???If that is the case, very bad track record if you ask me.

Not at all I would be right there with you, if only I could figure out how to get my settings like that:)

That could just as easily be shill bidding, though...

You did the right thing. I had a exact same situation lately. I changed my policy and let her bid, and she won. It took her over 10 days to pay, and she filed a charge back due to size not fitting. It was a pair of not-so-expensive jeans, but it sure was not a very good experience to me. I am going to raise my buyer requirements and won't let this kind of things happen to me again.
