Re: Blacklist for scammers buying bitcoin and litecoin on Ebay with paypal
I have heard that selling bitcoins on Ebay using paypal is very risky. I have recently listed several small amount bitcoin sellings on Ebay and indeed received some scammers. Fortunately for me, paypal blocked most of them before I even received the money 
I am wondering if it is a good idea to have a blacklist somewhere that we can check if a buyer is a scammer. Most sellers on ebay won't sell their coins to new ebayers and user with bad reputation. So creating a scamming account will be time consuming if we can have a such list so that every seller can have a check before sending the coin. Ideas?

I think instead of working hard for one name here and there (which won't work most of time),
JUST change your SYSTEM for selling bitcoin on ebay.
The whole problem stems from ebay's requirement/need for proof of physical delivery of a physical good. Some sellers have overcome this by selling a cute related nick nack that offers a free bonus of X number of bitcoin - once the items shows as delivered, then send the bitcoin. This way the buyer can NOT (successfully) claim non receipt and ask for refund.
iow ebay and paypal protection plan will side with you instead of them.
