bid by mistake
Eventhough I never thought they would block me from biding when do false or wrong bid, but I did in the last 12 months!
I am very disapointed as the items were a regular seller to an item I thought its sugar hari removal and the other was for two battries for drill and notice that one of them was broke, so, I asked the seller to cancel.
but then I got my biding function blocked!
I would highly recommend that they re-check this role even though I respect such to keep bid trustful.

·2 years agoYou made your mistake into the seller's problem. Bid cancellations and retractions disrupt an auction and cause people who would have bid to not do so (both because the minimum bid amount got raised and because they turn suspicion onto the seller). Of course s/he is going to block you.
You mention "twelve months" in your question. If you won the auctions and didn't pay (a seller is under absolutely NO duty to cancel on request) then many other sellers will be blocking you as a serial non-payer. It depends on the seller you are trying to buy from. Some don't enable that Buyer Requirement (block) at all. Some enable it but at more lenient parameters than the strictest level of blocking anyone with 2 in the past 12 months (some leave it at the defaults which are the lowest number for each parameter--2 strikes in the past 1 month--some long-time sellers haven't updated it from the old maximum timeframe of 6 months, and some for whatever reason choose to give more than second chances--the choices go up to 100 strikes in the lookback period).
There was nothing "false" or "wrong" about your bids. YOU deliberately placed them. That you did so without adequately reading the listing was YOUR decision. Why are you surprised there are consequences for your actions and inactions?

Mentor2 years agoYou cancelled a bid. Sellers can block any buyers they see fit and that is a good reason to block a bidder. Sorry, but you will have to find another seller. eBay has no control over who sellers block.
