Not a life changing event but I am wondering why that may be.

They won't let me buy or even add the item to my basket.
I don't recognise the seller from any previous dealing.
I have checked my negative feedback and I haven't ever left them any.
I can't contact them to ask why.

It's not an expensive item, only £55.

I don’t know why either. Surprised to hear you thought I might.

You don't have to have had any interaction with that specific seller previously. The selling settings allow you to set up a "profile" which excludes certain buyers from bidding/buying items for sale.
A few things it might be:
- have you cancelled transactions with other sellers recently?
- is your primary delivery address set to the Highlands or Northern Ireland or somewhere like that?
- have you got a low feedback score?

I block buyers for all the normal reasons, non paying, dodgy returns etc and have buyer requirements set up to stop buyers with history of non payment. Also, and you mentioned it in your post, if a buyer is constantly leaving negative feedback they also get blocked. Only yesterday had someone asking questions about an item in quite a rude manner, checking their feedback every feedback he had left and been negative, over 40.!

Could be the negative feedback I guess.

I don't often leave feedback, especially when the seller has thousands already. I have only left five in the last year, but two were negative.

Blimey - any common factor in the items you’re buying? I’ve bought a couple of hundred items through eBay and had a handful of issues but, touch wood, never got as far as feeling negative feedback would be warranted.

Works for me too and my price is a much more reasonable £153.

I would say I buy 50 items per annum, so only a small number went wrong.

Yes, I've looked on there and I can put items in a basked. Don't know if I could checkout though.

You know how it is, you get a new car and you want to buy a few bits for it.

I assume they sell from the site and not via a eBay shop, so no way they can link you to your eBay account I think.

Great choice of car by the way! Love mine. Get it dirty!
