blocking bidders??

LF's thread got me thinking about blocking a bidder. I've had bidders that made me nervous when the auction started out, but everything worked out in the end. There is the "block this bidder" button. Does that mean that you can instantaneously block the current bidder? If not, how does it work?

No, they are not instantaneously blocked. You can block potential bidders either before or after the auction, but you cannot block during the auction. Once someone is blocked, you have to physically go back into your account and unblock them. I currently have five guys blocked, and none of the five are going to be unblocked in my lifetime.
How is that done Mark?? Why is the "block this bidder" a link during an auction, and what does it do?? Thanks..

It blocks them, but it does not eliminate their bid. Hit the block button and they can no longer bid, but their bid, which includes a proxy bid, remains in place. Although the blocked bidder can no longer bid in real time, if he had a very high proxy bid and no one exceeds it, he can still win the auction.

Don't see "* *" on that list!
[:D][:D][:D]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
