I just checked the eBay rules and you can block anyone you want for any reason you want.
Q. How can I decide whom I want to block?
A. It will be based on your own experience with buyers. We always encourage you to work things out with your trading partners. However, we understand unfavorable things might happen, so you may find this tool useful to protect your own interests.
I usually don't snipe on items where the high bidder is someone I know and I have even refrained totally from bidding on things that folks I know are bidding on just so I don't drive the price up unnecessarily. But a courtesy email would certainly be in order if you really wanted to bid on something just to see if the other person was intending to be a "serious" bidder or not.
In your case, I agree with Jay.
