Verify legitimacy

Question

Joined eBay recently to bid on a specific item, seller denied bid due to scam risk as my account is brand new. Is there any way to verify Iâ€™m a real person that is actually interested in bidding?

If  you mean the seller cancelled your bid before the auction ended, that is his/her right.  A seller can cancel a bid for almost any reason including that s/he is uncomfortable with the bidder, and can also block bids, offers, and purchases from any specific user for any reason whatsoever. Best way to prove your legitimacy is to establish a record of buying and paying so you get feedback from sellers over a period of time.  You can't be blocked automatically for low feedback...
