eBay

SH***T! I blocked a bidder ages ago and just got an email to say she's trying to bid - what do I do???

It was well over a year ago, it's a local person and we buy/sell similar things. She asked me something way back then and started lecturing me about how I wasn't doing it properly and would give others a bad name (repairs etc) which was utter crap as I am pretty good and don't pretend to be anything other than an enthusiast.
I was a bit offended and then wondered if she might report me for doing some 'work' for a friend, as she was really weird, so I blocked her from bidding on my things (not sure why this would help, just didn't want anything to do with her!)
Anyway I just got an email saying 'I tried to bid on your auction but it says I'm blocked!'

Shhit. What do I say - it's an ebay glitch? Ignore it? sort it out and let her bid?

Help me please before I go any deeper burgundy.

do you want to sell it to her?, if not then ignore her

Tell her that it says she's blocked because she's blocked.

I fear reprisals. She is a vicious weirdo.
I think she would do her utmost to find out why etc...

just replied casually saying 'Hi don't worry it's just done the same to one of my best friends, will try and sort it'. Pretended I don't remember who she is.

Does that sound too obvious? I took her off the blocked list too...maybe unwise.

Might put her back on actually. She will not know unless she is a MNer will she?

Yes but I really don't want to communicate with her at all.

Going to reinstate her to list of scary ones.

Eek, now she has said she was trying to think if we have dealt before, she thinks we know each other.

I said don't worry it is just my bidder requirements page gone funny lately.

ahem.
