Petrakabayo is the name for anyone who wants to block her.

Thanks for the tip, though I don't sell women's clothing and accessories, so I'm not sure that me blocking her would do much good here

The world needs to block this idiot. LOL. Better solution would be to ban her from eBay. Get the distinct feeling that she was probably kicked off before and started fresh 8 months ago. Probably a cycle for her.

Wow nice that she tries blackmail as a method to not pay. She changed her mind about buying and if you don't respect it then she will sick her "gang" of other non payers on you.

I have said it many times. eBay could solve the NPB problem with one simple rule. If you are a buyer and have an open NPB you should not be allowed to bid or make a purchase until the original NPB has been paid.

Agree with that one but due to the feedback system and retaliatory feedback, I would rather not sell my goods to or even deal with a NPB after the fact. eBay needs to do something about buyers leaving bad feedback as it is way to easy for a buyer to leave negative feedback. eBay should also remove negatives if the seller can prove that the buyer is wrong. Should not be an automatic negative feedback always stays rule. eBay is getting a little better for sellers, but it has a long long way to go.

Checked her out. Pretty ironic for somebody who pays slow or doesn't like to pay at all, she recently left a negative for a seller for slow shipping, six days after the auction ended.

She seemed more peeved because the seller asked her to pay right away, which is a setting some sellers have to cut down on non-paying bidders.

Sounds pretty typical for her. If eBay was doing their job, she should be booted permanently. We got a bid on an item this morning and watches on the same items we relished so I am pretty sure it is some of her idiot friends. Tempted to close these auctions early. Probably too soon to report the new bidder but I can end early to thwart the plan.

You're assuming that it is her friends and not a legitimate bidder? Are you just never going to sell those items again for fear that every bid on them could be one of her friends?

If you let threats of retaliation from bidders like this alter your behavior, you are giving her the power. I would advise that you just conduct your business as usual, and if someone so ridiculous does have friends that will stick their neck out for her, file unpaid item strikes and report them to eBay as well. Either way, you would lose the listing fees for your item(s), but at least you won't be yanking the auction out from under legitimate bidders.

Did a google search on the new bidder, and they live in the same city. Coincidence??? Also we really don't care if the items sell as we will probably gift them to some relatives or even donate to goodwill. Ready for a break from eBay til after the holidays anyhow.

Okay, you got me there. Being in the same city does make it much more likely that it's one of her cronies
