Is there any way to ignore a certain buyer's messages?

[Liya]

There is a person in a country that I don't ship to harassing me. She has emailed me roughly 18 times in the last 48 hours!

If I had thought about making an exception and shipping to her (outside of my comfort zone), she definitely made me change my mind with the way she has been stalking me.

Is there any way to filter her messages so I won't receive them at all? She's flooding my inbox and keeping me from seeing messages from actual potential buyers. Help!

Out of curiousity, what was her username? I had someone yesterday who would not take no for an answer.

She wouldn't happen to be from Belgium? I had this buyer who emailed constantly about some hard to find Jimmy Choo shoes she was eyeing. I don't ship internationally and I kept being polite as I could be but finally I just sent a stern email and finally told her that this was the way I did things and I stand by my decision. She stopped after that.

I am going through a similar thing right now just like you, however, I'm not selling anything at the moment. About 2-3 weeks ago I relisted a beaded Fendi baguette that didn't sell the first time and when I relisted it I had to make one revision and it gave me the 30 day rule. Well, the buyer wanted to BIN for the amount I was wanting but I couldn't revise it because I had it set up as an auction. So I pulled it because I was afraid it would go cheaper than what she would be willing to pay me. I really didn't want to list it because I absolutely love the bag and just needed some extra cash. Now I don't want to sell it and keep it for myself. This buyer emailed me right after I pulled the listing and says call me when you relist. She gave me her number, email, etc. She's also delusional because she keeps telling me to promise her the bag and no one else.

Sorry so long, but my point is that she emailed me yesterday telling me how she is counting down the days until this 30 days is up. She won't leave me alone and I don't know how to tell her that I am not selling the bag now. I did a goofbay search on her bidding history and she buys nothing but beaded and ornate Fendi baguettes. She has probably 10 that she already won in the past 60 days. I don't want her to have it now because she probably will never carry it with as many bags as she has won. Also, I looked at her selling history, even with 100% feedback and over 800 FB, I saw several fake Fendi bags she was selling and portraying them as authentic. That makes me so livid!!!

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to block this buyer from emailing me too because she won't stop harassing me. If anyone can tell us that would be awesome!

fashiongirl..
what if you just write back that you decided against selling the bag, or just say you decided to sell it locally to a friend. and then wish her the best on finding something else on eBay.

liya..i would just send one more reply asking her to stop messaging you. that you don't ship international and that you will contact eBay if she doesn't stop flooding your mailbox.

this all sounds so harassing.

I agree with alliemia...tell the stalker that you are going to report her if she does not let it go...and tell the other one that you are keeping it yourself, period.

Fashiongirl & liya, you guys could both tell your stalkers that you decided to take the bag out for one last stroll and you got purse-snatched.

I wouldn't wait, I'm sorry but 18 e-mails within a 48 hour period is simply unacceptable.

I would turn her into eBay regardless. Don't wait. Do it now. Why lie about whether or not you want to sell your bag locally when you're obviously trying to sell it on eBay? Get rid of the problem now and report her.

I don't see the problem. Just simply tell her you decided to keep the bag, which is the truth. You really don't owe her any other explanation other than that. Tell her to please leave you alone, but you will assure her if you do decide to sell, she will be the first person that you will notify.

18 in 48 hours? CRAZY!!!!!

[forenfinal]

If you have someone blocked from bidding can they still message you?

[LVMOMMY]

Serious 18 is definately OCD! I hope that you report her to eBay and block her from your auctions! Sounds definately crazy!

[skigirl73]

You can block her from bidding, but I don't know if that blocks her from sending you emails.
