Very odd...

I've recently found that i have been blocked by a few ebay members for no obvious reason...one of them cant tell me why and i havent heard back from the others. I'm just wondering if I am the only one that this has happened to...and no i havent been in an altercation with them, left poor feedback for them, or anything like this that I'm aware of...not to sound paranoid but im wondering if there is somebody with a similar ID that is getting me blocked.

is there a way to tell who has you blocked?

[fdp79]

only way that ive found out is that when i go to bid on their item it doesnt allow me. one member had no clue why i was blocked but they unblocked me and ive bought several cards from them without incident. im not quite sure what happened...its not been many but just 3 or 4 ive found so far.

Who knows man, for all we know it was something stupid like you mailing a card across the border, it taking a couple weeks longer than usual, and the buyer going on a message board saying that they didn't like the experience....

Sadly, it doesn't take much for people to get upset...it's rather frustrating.

I've had people leave me 4/5 stars on shipping time when it's been 3 weeks door-to-door from Canada to the US...like really? With the strike I know of some people that have waited 6+ weeks for stuff, so it really makes no sense.

As far as being blocked on ebay, I've never had it happen personally...I only block people that I know aren't honest ebayers or people that have been proven scammers that have been reported by good traders on here or ebay....in the end though, if someone is so paranoid that they block you for no reason whatsoever, you're probably safe because those types of traders are not exactly the best to deal with.

I was on another trade board and I misspoke something about how I left feedback for shipping. Someone then posted "Hey thats the guy with the same name on ebay" and had 4-5 chuckleheads post that they blocked me. I tried to re-post what I mean to say, but people don;t bother to check back. There are also people who keep adding accounts very close to an old one they were banned with, some people block them on fear alone. I usually message the person and then unblock it with out telling me why it was in the first place.

I have had that happen with one seller as well and they claim they have no idea why. I thought if you were blocked by a seller you did not even see their auctions?
