Importing dolls from US to UK

Hi everyone. I have a difficult problem here and it's driving me mad! For many years I've been buying a particular type of doll from America because they are not available in UK. They are limited editions and were only made from 2004 to 2010. The shipping costs were shown on the listing page. I bought 2 in December, and one last week, without any trouble. However, I've tried to buy 3 during the past couple of weeks, and the listing said "may not be available" to ship to UK. The sellers all use Global Shipping Programme and they've no idea why this problem exists. Ebay in US and UK have no reference for this issue. I've tried to get help from HMRC Government helpline but they're no help at all. We go round in circles. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Ask the sellers to put your ID on their exemption list which will lift any blocks.   You can send them this link (I've changed it to the US site).   The bit they need is towards the bottom - "Update buyer exemption list".
