The worst profit prevention idea ever is Ebay/Paypal's sudden blockage of Paypal accounts which have spent $10,000. It goes off when buyer has declined to link a Paypal account with a bank account, as buyers would mostly prefer to do.
C'mon.
These are the kind of buyers we want!
It might make sense to take drastic action at some $$ volume, but a buyer who has spent $10,000 over three years is not likely to turn out to be a fraud during year four.
It would make far more sense to give buyer $3000 per year to spend on a credit card before this measure goes off.
Better yet: go to Ebay Payments, which work like Amazon Payments. Buyer can spend without limit, other than some internal controls which apply to dicey situations.
