Community Blocklist

The blocklist is a shared database of sellers flagged by Snipe users. When a blocklisted seller appears in search results, their listing card is marked with an established_bad_actor flag.

Viewing the blocklist

Navigate to Blocklist in the sidebar to see all reported sellers, with usernames, platforms, and optional reasons.

Reporting a seller

On any listing card, click the Block button (shield icon) to report the seller. You can optionally add a reason (e.g. "sent counterfeit item", "never shipped").

Note

In cloud mode, blocking requires a signed-in account. Anonymous users can view the blocklist but cannot report sellers.

Importing a blocklist

The Blocklist view has an Import CSV button. The accepted format:

platform,platform_seller_id,username,reason
ebay,seller123,seller123,counterfeit item
ebay,badactor99,badactor99,

The reason column is optional. platform defaults to ebay if omitted.

Exporting the blocklist

Click Export CSV in the Blocklist view to download the current blocklist. Use this to back up, share with others, or import into another Snipe instance.

Blocklist sync (roadmap)

Batch reporting to eBay's Trust & Safety team is on the roadmap (issue #4). This would allow community-flagged sellers to be reported directly to eBay from within Snipe.
