The seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you.

Do not know the reason for this as soon as I press on a buy it now item I get this (The seller isn't accepting bids or offers from you.) I have 100% on ebay can anyone come up withan answer

It probably isn't personal to you. Sellers can apply a number of general blocks on who can or can't bid on their items. Below is the advice that eBay gives to sellers:

You can set requirements to exclude buyers who:

Have a delivery address in countries you don't want to post to
Have a negative feedback score
Have unpaid item cases
May bid on several items and not pay for them
Don't have a PayPal account
Have violated eBay policies

You can sometimes message a seller to see whether they will make an exemption for you, but many sellers will also block messages from blocked bidders.

If it wasn't personal, it would say the reason the seller wasn't accepting bids from the buyer - for example ''The seller doesn't post to your location'' ''The seller has blocked people with two or more unpaid item disputes'' or ''The seller requires buyers to have a PayPal account'' etc.

There would also be a little i, which, when hovered over, would show the legend ''how do I fix this''

That's the message you get when a seller has blocked you.

There must be a reason for them doing that, either you've traded with them before and they didn't find it a positive experience or something else has set the klaxons off.

You can email them and ask them to remove the block, historically, that's not very likely to work. Don't be tempted to use an alternate id to bid as that will get you in a world of trouble.

Do they ship to your country?

Do you have unpaid item strikes on your account?

Sellers can set their Buyer Preferences to block bidders who don;'t meet their criteria.
