If  you have dealt with them before it is possible they have put you on their blocked bidder list, which sellers do for all sorts of reasons.   Sellers can also put a blanket block on buyers who do not pay for items.  Not saying that is you but it's another way sellers can block people.

You have 11 bid retraction in last 12 months,

This may be why sellers blocked you.

[fossilsman]

well you are saying sellers can just block any one who there don't want to bid on any thing there are selling l don't think it is right l am not one of them people who don't pay if l can't l message them and ask if l can on the next day or ask them to cancel my bid n l do say sorry to

Sellers can be fickle, but a bid for auction items in theory is a binding contract in the real world, if you then write to say you can't pay or to cancel your bid,  it messes them around no end. That sort of behaviour would deem blocking on here. Be thankful its only here, if you did this on other platforms such as the saleroom you would get a blanket ban from nearly all the auction houses in the UK as there is a backroom section where auction houses talk to each other. - If you don't pay generally auction houses wont pre authorise you to buy at their auctions.
