Purchase Blocked yet address is unchanged

[screamingfender]

An intended purchase from France for delivery to my unchanged address in the UK is being blocked. The seller doesn't know why

Ask the seller to put your ID on their exemption list which should remove any blocks.    Assuming their setup is similar to ours they'll find it on their My eBay at Site Map at the very bottom of the page.   Scroll down past the categories to Sell > Selling Activities > Manage Bidders.

Thank you for your prompt response.

I sent the vendor a copy of your instructions but he/she hasn't replied. However, I forgot to mention in my Community enquiry that a link for my intended purchase was sent to two friends of different addresses and were both met with the same 'this vendor does not ship here' alert. The vendor assures me he does ship to the UK. Baffled.

You can see the listing, does it say in the shipping details “ships to UK” and does he list a shipping cost. It is also possible that he ships to EU, which would not include the UK.

Without  cost of shipping you cannot pay so basically if you cannot pay you cannot buy.

It would be helpful to see the item as that would possibly make it easier to see what the problem is.

It seems the item is actually in the US and not in France as I stated. DOH!

I tried to message you directly through one of your own sales, and provided a link to my intended purchase but eBay blocked this as well. There is no shipment cost quote - only the buy it now price.

Not sure if it's a good idea to put a link to the item here.
