eBay

Hello all, I have looked up this issue before posting, and none of the replies seem relevant to my situation, I hope you can help.   My current ebay account is over 18 months old, I've not got any negative feedback, and have always paid right away using paypal or my debit card directly.   I've had this: You’ve reached a temporary buying restriction. You can only buy items where you can pay immediately at checkout. To continue, find an item with an immediate payment method and click on the “Add to Cart” button in the listing. {e72887-888297x}   Error before (after entering my payment details and proceeding to checkout), and in the past when it's happened I've been annoyed, but just looked for a similar item and bought that instead, immediately, with no issue.   This time I want to actually buy the item I'm trying to rather than have to find an alternative because of the whims of this site, so I figured it's about time I find out why I'm actually being prevented from doing so.   The fact that I'm able to pay for other items immediately, as well as the fact that I'm using a debit card which would issue payment straight away (and which has money behind it, and has never been rejected, on ebay or elsewhere) tells me the restriction isn't actually on my account at all, but rather is a restriction on the seller, could that be right? In the past I even contacted a seller after being prevented from buying their item, to let them know, but I never heard back. I can't imagine any seller choosing to reject a perfectly good sale, so it must be ebay interfearing, and I'd like to know why, and how to get around this nonsense.   I might understand it if my account was generally restricted (I'd be extremely annoyed, but at least it would be somewhat consistent), but as far as I can tell, there's no real restriction on my account at all, nor reason for there to be, so it seems like some arbitrary algorithm just decides that I don't get to buy this (and other) specific item I want, just because.   Does anyone here have a way around this, or at the very least, an explanation? Because this situation really is beyond ridiculous.   Thanks ... View more

Just a quick question if anyone can help.   Why is it that when a Seller cancels an order, because they advertised as having stock when in fact they do not, the notification message from eBay is always 'Buyer asked to cancel the order.' when it is in fact the Seller who is cancelling the order because their listing is incorrect?   Not a problem as such, it's just one of those things I find irritating!!  ...

When listing items I notice that the facility to select no sales outside UK has been removed, Why? ... View more

Hi I recently bought an item that didn't arrive, I sent multiple messages to the seller who didn't respond about the missing item. I asked ebay to intervene and they refunded me, I cant leave any feedback for the seller who didn't send the item or respond to my messages. I'd like to be able to warn others about the seller  over a potential similar situation. Many thanks. ... View more

She didnt reply immediatley but yesterday i recieved a message that was pretty aggressive asking why i had bid on it if i didnt want it and refusing to cancel saying she will mark me as a non payer and try and get me kicked off ebay she even called me ridiculous! in all my 10 years of being on here i have never had a message like this and it upset me a bit.

I can't understand why there is no description of the purchased item in PayPal, just an order number. When I have to fill my tax return form I need accurate description.

Where I can get this info?   Thanks  ... View more
