Blacklisting Not Working As A Buyer??
AnsweredWhen I have previously blacklisted members they have been unable to buy from me (and also me from them) - as expected. Just realised I made a purchase from a seller 2 weeks ago that I already had on my blacklist - they have mucked me round exactly as per last-time and sadly I did not remember their username (otherwise I wouldn't have purchased) and no blacklist warning came up. Have just tried to purchase from them again (as an experiment) and it seems nothing is stopping me. Is there a glitch in my system, I thought it worked both ways (buying AND selling) but maybe I'm wrong? Item has been dispatched today so no drama but I'd love to NOT buy from them again in the future - suggestions??

Blacklisting someone has never prevented you from buying from them. It only stops them from buying from you.
However you are correct that you used to get a warning.
I also tested it on an auction just now in the new format, and I didn't see any warning before I made a bid.
Could be worth an email to Trade Me to suggest it is something they add/fix?
There has always been some talk that blacklisting should prevent you from even seeing blacklisted members auctions. Personally I wouldn't want that. I have blacklisted some competitors, but I still like to keep an eye on their items.
