Discriminating Taste: Using eBay Buyer Requirements to Prevent Unpaid Items
Overview
Buyer Requirements are tools on eBay that help sellers filter out potentially unreliable buyers. If you've never dealt with unpaid items, you might not need them. However, if you're cautious about sales, these requirements can be adjusted to block those who might not pay.
What Control Do You Have?
Clayton Kunz, eBay’s Trust and Safety Policy Manager, highlights that sellers can fine-tune their controls to filter buyers based on various criteria:
- Negative feedback: Exclude buyers with poor reviews.
- Unpaid item history: Block those with recent unpaid item strikes.
- Shipping restrictions: Prevent bids from regions where you don’t ship.
- Buying patterns: Limit purchases to avoid fraudulent bulk buying.
- PayPal registration: Restrict to buyers verified through PayPal (though other payment options can still be offered).
Customizing Your Listings
You can adjust buyer requirements globally through "My eBay," affecting all listings. Alternatively, tweak them per listing: for a rare antique, increase protection; for a low-value item, relax settings. Adjust these via the "Sell Your Item" form as you list.
Measuring Effectiveness
Monitor the impact of your settings through an activity log showing blocked bids and reasons. This helps assess if settings are too strict or lenient. Reliable buyers can be added to a Buyer-Requirements Exemption List, ensuring they remain unblocked for future transactions.
"Buyer requirements are a powerful tool," says Kunz. It’s crucial to understand and utilize them effectively to enhance your eBay business.
