How to set up buyer requirements

Have you ever had a non-paying bidder? Have you had a PayPal claim filed against you because an international bidder claimed to not have received an item? Did you unknowingly sell an item to a bidder with a negative feedback score only to suffer a non payment and possibly a negative feedback against you? This is only a few scenarios of what a "difficult buyer" is synonymous of doing to a hard working seller like yourself. Did you know you can specify buyer requirements to manage the type of buyers who can bid on your items? Oh yes you can! Doing so reduces your exposure to buyers who might make sales difficult for you...in the same sense it also reduces the number of potential bidders for your items. To me, it's worth it.
