Order blocking is valuable for preventing abusive customers from purchasing from your store, for any reason. For example, when selling digital products, a customer may purchase and download your product, then immediately file a refund dispute with PayPal, or request a chargeback with their credit company (costing you additional fees), all without contacting you (the seller) first.
Another reason you might block a customer, is if they're being abusive with customer support.
