How reliable are SafeBay buyer reports?

SafeBay reports are submitted exclusively by authenticated eBay sellers with verified store accounts. Each report is tied to a real seller identity and reflects actual transaction experiences. A moderator reviews each report before it is shared with other members. A buyer's risk level rises with every seller who reports them and with the severity the AI assigns each report.

Should I ship an order to a buyer flagged on SafeBay?

It depends on the number and nature of the reports. For a buyer with multiple reports from different sellers for return fraud or false "item not received" claims, many sellers choose to cancel the order and block the buyer. For buyers with a single report, you may decide to ship with extra precautions such as requiring a signature on delivery, photographing the item before packing, and saving all communication. Always review the specific report details before deciding.

Can I automatically block reported buyers on eBay?

Yes. The SafeBay Chrome extension syncs the community blacklist directly to your eBay Buyer Block list. When a new buyer is reported on SafeBay, the extension can automatically add them to your block list so they cannot purchase from your store. You can also customize which buyers to auto-block and maintain a personal whitelist for buyers you trust despite community reports.
