This is a new problem to me that I have not heard of before, so I can't help you here on the forum. I would suggest you contact Auctiva Support and see if they can give you a hand.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
