Seller won't let me buy items from them
Hi all - I am having the weirdest experience. There is a seller with beautiful jewelry. When I try to buy an item I get the message "This seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you". I have messaged the seller several times to no avail. I have no idea why this is happening and do not recall any other interaction with this seller.
Thoughts? Advice?
Thank you

Good manners dictate that you
do not continue to contact this seller

·2 years agoGood manners would also be to allow messages from someone whom has been blocked to at least in a nice civilized manner to ask what they did to get blocked and apologize if they did something inadvertently to cause concern. especially if they actually didn't do anything.

Some sellers would prefer to be able to communicate with blocked ID's, but eBay has chosen to remove the option to communicate ..................... even when there has been a transaction.

·2 years agoThe bottom line here is that a seller can block you for ANY reason. It could just be a gut feeling they have.
They don't need to justify their actions in that realm. It's one of very, very few things a seller has control over on this site, and that list seems to get shorter on a daily basis.

·2 years agoHi @sbarrow99
These are some of the reasons I’ve seen mentioned for a buyer being put on a seller’s Blocked Bidders List:
* Buyer retracted a bid on seller’s auction.
* Buyer requested a cancellation.
* Buyer requested a return.
* Buyer left bad feedback for the seller … OR other sellers.
* Buyer posted concerning
message(s) in the Community.
* Buyer is also a competitor seller.
* Buyer contacted seller with a question that raised a red flag.
* Buyer’s Username is disturbing.
* Buyer’s Username is on some outside ‘beware list’.

·2 years agoI asked a honest ligetiment.question about a item....did nothing wrong now seller blocked me that's nefarious..and is probly why they blocked me ..I buy on Amazon, ebay alot never had issues..except with automotive parts wich will never do again ..as they are 98.5 percent aftermarket or fake..if the seller in my original question wich was not automotive. Wouldn't answer he must be shady..was going to buy 2 of that product?

The buyer is told the reason for the block when the issue is unpaid items. [Same with PO Box issue, foreign country exclusion, etc.]
The wording of the message indicates that the seller specifically put OP’s Username on their BBL.

·2 years agoThanks. I didn't realize that was the case when unpaid strikes was the reason.

·2 years agoTypically that message indicates that the seller has specifically blocked your account from bidding or buying, and the seller may not be seeing messages from you either, if those are blocked as well.
This may be the result of a past interaction with that seller, or from making an offer or asking a question. Possibly the seller has more than one account and you interacted with another account. Or it may even be the result of a mistake.
The seller is not required to explain or reconsider.
Find another seller to do business with.

When a seller blocks a buyer- communication is AUTOMATICALLY blocked (there is NO longer a choice)
