Explained
Sellers can have the option to approve a buyer depending on their rating score or verification type. For example, they may wish to only allow a buyer with a rating score of 5 or more, or only allow buyers that are Address Verified. This can be achieved by setting minimum buyer requirements. Bidders and Buyers that do not meet the minimum requirements will receive a message notifying them that the seller has minimum buyer requirements that they do not meet.

Why would a seller set buyer requirements?
Some sellers may prefer to only deal with buyers that have completed other transactions successfully or have gone through certain types of User Verification. Note: By setting buyer requirements, you are limiting your sales to approved buyers only.

How to set buyer requirements
Go to My OZtion and click the "Update my Default Details" link under My Preferences. Scroll down to the Buyer Requirements section. You can set a required minimum rating or a verification type or a combination of both.

Examples:

• Set a 'Min. Rating' of "5+" to only allow buyers with a rating of 5 or more.
• Set a 'Verification' of "Address Verified" to only allow buyers with Address Verification.
• Set a 'Min. Rating' of "5+" AND a 'Verification' of "Address Verified" to only buyers that have a rating of 5 or more AND are Address Verified.
• Set a 'Min. Rating' of "5+" OR a 'Verification' of "Address Verified" to only allow buyers that have a rating of 5 or more OR are Address Verified (can meet either requirement).

Message to the buyer
The bidder or purchaser will see a message that notifies them the seller has minimum buyer requirements that they do not meet. The message will also include what requirements they will need to meet before they can bid or purchase an item from the seller.

Approving members by User ID
Simply add a member to 'My Favorites' to pre-approve them. Member's in your Favourite Members do not need to meet your 'Buyer Requirements' in order to bid on or purchase your items.
