You should only report a buyer if you think they’re violating our policies. Here are a few examples of when to report a buyer:
- The buyer is demanding something that wasn’t offered in the original listing
- You believe the buyer is making a false claim
- They’ve asked you to complete a sale off eBay
- They’re abusing the bid retraction process, repeatedly bidding and then retracting bids
- They’re messaging you more than what would be considered normal, with no intention of buying the item
