Strange experience with ebay seller...

I noticed that the pictures on two lots were exactly similar and asked the seller 8 hours before the auction if this was the case. The seller responds back saying WYSIWYG. I said okay and wanted to put in a bid, only to discover that the seller has blocked me! I asked for a clarification from him but did not hear back till now. There was nothing in my original question which he would have considered offensive. Seller in question-- florin888 from Australia.

I think you're better off being blocked by this guy.

That was my first thought.

<< <i>After looking at his only current offering that I might have been interested in, and reading the OP, I have blocked him. >>
how do you block a seller? and when you have blocked them, does it mean that they no longer appear in your ebay searches?
thanks!
In advanced searches, you can exclude a seller or list of sellers. I never do it, but if was less of a hassle, I know a few junkmeisters and jerks who I would sure like to block out.

BTW, what does "exactly similar" mean? Aren't the two words mutually exclusive like "almost exactly".
Would you please block me so that I don't accidentally bid on one of your auctions? Thanks in advance.
There's no smiley face icon in ebay messages though.<< <i>Never mind. I took care of it myself by sending the following request.

Of course, since that would potentially have a negative impact on eBay's bottom line, it's a feature that will never happen, no matter how it might "enhance the buying experience."
