Restricted by seller to bid on items
I recently won several auctions for low cost, paying promptly for my purchases. The seller has now restricted me from bidding on any more of their items. He has absolutely no reason to restrict me from future bidding on his items and it really upsets me. I have contacted them twice asking why and gotten no response. This just seems so wrong! I haven't done anything to deserve this kind of treatment from a seller!! Is there anything I can do?

There's a Buyer Requirement that sellers can set to block bidders from bidding on more than "x" number of items within the last ten days. The seller probably doesn't even know that it's set. Check out the Buyer Requirements at the following link, and see if that's what you think is happening. Then notify the seller and ask her/him to put your username in his Exemption List (at that same link). https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/buyerrequirements

Mentor3 years agoSellers can restrict anyone for any reason, but you are likely just being restricted by a general ebay option the seller can enable that affects all buyers to limit how many items they can buy in a given time period, and so is not just restricting you. Hopefully the seller will respond and possibly make an exception for you.
