Good morning,a few days ago I wanted to place a bid in an auction; I tried, but I found out that the seller had placed restrictions against me. I didn’t have time to contact the seller, and so the auction closed, leaving me empty-handed.I can understand that there should be some tool for the seller, just like buyer feedback, but at least in my case it is unjustified: I have 99 feedback ratings, all positive, and the only interaction I had with this seller was for an item that arrived defective, sent back to the address listed on eBay, returned because the address was unknown, then sent again to the address provided by the seller (this time successfully), I also left positive feedback, because all things considered it went well (apart from the double shipping) and the seller did the same… but I was “banned”. Since others have reported this seller as “touchy”, there should be a way on eBay to report issues with certain sellers; otherwise, sellers who are a bit too “sensitive” could arbitrarily “ban” anyone for no reason. At the very least, sellers should be required to justify the restrictions and these should be subject to review or discussion between the parties. I would like to point out that I do not remember receiving any email from eBay about this restriction. Thank you for your attention.
