You should definitely ban them.
I have been doing this for awhile now. I have sold via various outlets. The public do a lot of annoying stupid stuff. At conventions they can be incredibly careless and rough with my stock. Sometimes it infuriates me so much that I want to taser those people.
But, when the annoyance passes and I get it in perspective I know that they are not being hateful or malicious. That's just how people shop. They want to touch things and move things around and turn them over and they are not, when they are in shopping mode, thinking 'Hey, this belongs to that woman there and if I am not going to buy it I better be very careful and respectful'. They are just in the same shopping mode they go into when they walk around a supernarket or around the Trafford Centre.
When they are on this site they are expecting it to operate in the way that other sites do and that they are not committed until they pay. If you want to get angry about that fair enough. I get angry too but ultimately I believe in finding intelligent, positive, proactive solutions to problems. It would be amazing if one of the eBid staff took the time to look at what I am saying and the logic of it and consider making a useful change.
