Respectfully recommend an auto-ban of any user that requests a seller lie on customs forms based on a specific criteria (e.g., 5 unique seller complaints for the same username). Note this in the buyer guide/help context (against the rules, fraud, account will be auto-banned). Worse, some buyers are punishing sellers by leaving negative feedback when they are merely being good, fair-minded citizens that are following federal regulations and complying with the LAW. My understanding is that this is not the first time this has been requested. Seems to me this could be a field appended to the existing database that is populated by admins based on seller complaints as a regulatory-minded service to the seller community.

I voted no. I think it is up to sellers to decide to stop listening buyers, rather than blanket bans for things like this. If you find it distasteful, then refuse it. I've [...] (89 months ago, Jan 23, 2017, to Suggestions)
