Within the expanded transaction details, you will find a “Resolve a problem” section. Click on the “I have a problem with a buyer” option. This will open a new page where you can select the reason for blocking the buyer. Choose the appropriate reason from the provided options.
Step 5: Submit a Request to Block the Buyer
After selecting the reason, you will be prompted to provide additional information about the issue. Be sure to include any relevant details or evidence that supports your decision to block the buyer. Once you have filled out the required information, click on the “Submit” button to send your request to eBay.
Step 6: Follow Up
After submitting the request, eBay will review the information you provided. If they determine that blocking the buyer is necessary, they will take appropriate action. You may receive updates or requests for additional information via email or through your eBay account.
