Got a question about blocking ebay bidders........

and how to tell if you've been blocked.....Good evening board members, I have a question regarding blocked bidders...I was/am interested in a raw item on the 'Bay, had it in my watch list and have been following it for a few days. Of course, early on the bidding has not taken off yet and the bids are very low to what it will finish at (about $30 now, should finish about $150). The seller provided a decent scan of the front in the auction and last night apparently I had the nerve to email to ask for a bigger scan of the front and back - Gee so sorry!!!!! Today when I log on, the item is missing from my watch list and I could not find it doing a search on the item (not even the "seller cancelled the auction early. blah blah"). For some reason I remembered one of the bidders ebay id and entered it to see what they were bidding on and to see if the item I was interested was there (and to determine if I somehow had a major brain fart), but that bidders activities only showed bids on a similar series card, but not the one I was interested in. Does this sound like I was blocked from this auction? I sent the email request via ebays "ask seller a question" does anyone how I can go refer to it since I didn't send a copy to myself? And finally, sorry I don't remember the seller id, didn't think something like this would happen. Side note: I "only" have about 40+ feedback rating with 100%+++ feedback with many strong comments about fast payment for what I buy and great time/shipping on the items I have sold, so I dont know what scared this person off.

Thanks for the feedback

EDIT: If anyone wants to take this offline and check on the auction I am referring to, please IM me...

Sounds like the item was pulled by the seller for whatever reason.

You may want to check the item again. I had put bids on two items this earlier evening. ...I was out and had just come home to NOT find the auctions........They seemed to have disappeared........

.....low and behold both auction have now reappeared.......I won one.

Perhaps EBAY had a hiccup this evening.
