    What error message are you getting when you try, or if no error message what circumstances lead you to your conclusion that you are unable to bid:  what page are you on, what blanks do you fill and what links do you click, what happens next vs. what did you expect to happen?

    There are a couple of reasons and you don't say the error message you received.

     

    If you have had 2 unpaid items in the past year, that will keep you from bidding.  They stay on your account for a full year.  The message you received would say this.

     

    It is also possible that you have been blocked by a specific seller.  The error message would say that this seller isn't accepting your bid.
