Can a seller block you even with a perfect buyer record?

[nickspurs28]

I am sure a seller has blocked me. I have a perfect buyer record and I made an offer to a seller, they did not accept but upon bidding it does not go through. This happened with another item from the same selller.

Can I be blocked by a seller?

Every buyer has a seeemingly 'perfect' record, even the buyer from hell, as sellers can only leave positive feedback or none at all. 

As pixie said, a seller can block any member for any reason. It's possible that they didn't like your offer (was it ridiculously low...?). 

But the most likely reason is that they've sensibly decided to block all international buyers, or, at the very least, buyers who are in countries which are on Royal Mail's 'suspension' list, which Cyprus is. Severe flight restrictions mean parcels having to go by sea where possible, or being stored in ever-growing mountainous piles in carriers' warehouse with little chance of movement.. And there are of course huge Customs delays, and delays in the delivery chain at both ends, due to hugely-decreased staffing levels. Selling on Ebay is extremely tough, and sellers have to protect their accounts and their livelihoods from buyers who are likely to open Item Not Received cases far too soon, and international buyers are at the top of that list. Many seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that the pandemic has caused, is causing, and will continue to cause massive delivery delays for many months to come, with the poor old sellers suffering the consequences.

But if you're prepared to wait  possibly many months to receive your goods should you win the auction, ask the seller if he will add you to his blocked bidders 'exemption' list. I doubt he will under the current circumstances, but you can always ask.  However, if he has also blocked blockees from contacting him, which many do, that won't of course be possible.
