Since my last eBay post, I’ve finally found an option which seems to stop most of the bad people from being able to bid on my items. Since then I’ve been able to sell 3 or 4 things without incident (including my camera). I’ve also noticed they’ve created a new streamlined version of their seller form, which is a welcome addition. Of course, I still needed to use the older form so I could make sure those options I just mentioned were set. The issue with simpler interfaces is you never know what the default settings are going to be.
But in general, I’ve looked back at my blog and found a few posts of me just complaining about whatever corporate entity was ticking me off at the moment. I’m going to stop that (even though they are bastards 
) and start just posting normal, hopefully helpful blog entries. I’ve always said I’d like to post simple code snippets and helpful factoids like that. Time to start. Um, soon.

Hi. A bit old post, but just found it.
Care to share what is that magic option?
I had numerous problems with sale of my old laptop and eventually gave up.
Sure, there’s section called “Buyer requirements” in the selling form. In there you can specify a number of criteria that you will disallow for a sale.
Ah…thanks. Will check out next time when things popup for sale.
