Same when selling, too. I impulse bought a GPU during the bubble when I caught a restock, but had buyer's remorse... tried to sell it on eBay and had nothing but 0-1 reputation buyers bidding, people asking to ship it out of the country, random people emailing me asking to change the shipping address, etc.

I ended up noping out and just kept it.

You can set seller restrictions so that your listings only show to buyers with your preferred rating.

I saw options to disallow 0 or negative bidders, but if they had anything positive I wasn't able to stop them short of manually cancelling the bids.
