    What satisfaction do bidders get out of doing this?

    What satisfaction do bidders get out of doing this?

    We all have expressed the many frustrations we have had when dealing with bidders.

    One that really gets on my nerves is when you are selling a high dollar item, and someone makes an offer of $1, $5, or $10 for it.

    When that happens on an item I have, I just ignore the offer and place that person on my "restricted bidder" list.

    Their joke has cost them any chance in the future to bid on my items, and hopefully, they will see something they really want.

    Sammy, I also do the same. I even had one biidder email me when they tried to bid again on one of my items they really wanted, and they found themselves blocked.

    Uneducated buyers are the worst.Another thing I hate when a seller has an item for $250 or BO and you offer him $200 and he comes back with $245 what is the point of the Best offer?

    You guys have to start using the AUTO DECLINE feature. Out of sight, out of mind. There are idiots everywhere!!!!

    Here's an idiot I Auto Declined:

    User ID holyspartan489 ( 24) Not a registered user US $1.00 You automatically declined Dec-27-07 14:11:07 PST95070

    This screenshot shows what the seller is shown when setting up the Best Offer feature. Simply click on Automatically decline offers lower than $_______ The bidder gets an immediate email that they have been declined.

    eBay is a mirror image of society. There are morons everywhere. Don't you wish you had AUTO DECLINE when some moron comes to your place of business and says something totally moronic---kind of like the trap door in the floor like on the Adam's Family.

    I never thought I would have so many bidders on my restricted list. It's sad. And, yes, I wish I had that feature in real life. For those of you that don't know, I work in arguably the biggest bar in Texas. You can only imagine how many idiots I see on a regular basis.

    As a grade-school teacher, I have always said DARE would be much more effective if we took a field trip to a bar at 1:30 am. Sit and listen to the drunks for a while, kiddies, and see if you want to be one!!

    I'm not advocating this technique, but I know an eBay seller who told a non-payer that, unless he paid, he would set up multiple phony accounts and start bidding in his auctions and not paying. The buyer paid right away.
