Uk buyers now not allowed to buy from America!

I need to add a new card and tried several bank & credit and details are certainly correct but ebay says' We couldn't verify this card. Please select a different payment method.' There is nothing wrong with my cards and are still valid and cards i tr...

just won an auction, then told the seller has cancelled the auction because the "new" item is damaged or out of stock, this allowed behaviour by ebay makes ebay look stupid, they lose all credibility as an auction site, will not use again.

Resolved! Asking a seller a question
