Why would a eBay seller have a policy like this?

    Surely the seller checked this box by accident,,,,,,,,,,,,, I have never bought from them but this box popped up when I tried to raise my best offer price which doesn't make any sense either. :o

    You met one of these seller restrictions depending upon how they have it set up:

    At first thought it seems silly... why would someone limit their own sales? Maybe the vendor got burned somehow? Only one way to know for sure... ask...

    It depends on what is being sold. Is the seller listing loss leaders and doesn't want someone to buy up everything? Is the seller afraid that someone will buy a ton of items and then not pay, ruining a lot of sales? I've had the latter happen to me, and it's a real pain. That said, since it doesn't happen often and the upside of having good buyers bid on lots of stuff far outweighs it, I'd never put in a restriction like that one.

    That is not it,,,,,,, just a one-off token,,,,,,

    Didn't really expect to get an answer here as no-one knows the answer but the seller,,,,,,, just trying to point out what I feel is a silly restriction.

    I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but I really don’t understand your reasoning. The seller might or might not have a good reason for it, or, has been pointed out, maybe it wasn’t intentional. But he’s the only one who can tell you. And pointing it out here, rather than to him, sure won’t get him to change it.

    I thought it might be his / her way of assuring a feedback being left for each item sold.
    eBay had / has a 7 day time period prohibiting multiple items sold within this time frame from receiving multiple individual feedbacks.
    Since I do not sell, I know not of checking off the wrong box.
    Why would eBay even have this option?

    seller of high dollar items may want to ensure a smooth transaction before allowing buyer to purchase additional items.

    Seller may have experienced a buyer who buys a bunch then either doesn't pay or returns a bunch.

    I guess we do miss the point. You asked why something may happen with no details provided. You've been given reasons why something may happen. There's also a reason that the seller just decided to do it, and that's that. But why ask a question that can't have a definitive answer and then tell everyone who takes the time to respond that they're wrong?

    I ran into this once. The seller didn't want people running up big tabs and then not paying.

    Not a smart practice in my opinion but I've seen lots of stuff, such as sellers refusing to ship to PO boxes, even when that is the registered address on ebay and PsyPal.

    the screenshot from @hbarbee, here, says:
    "block buyers who have bid on or bought my items within the last ten days and met my limit of X"

    @GRANDAM said that he tried to raise his offer. Based on his experience, I deduce that each offer counts as a "bid". Meaning he exceeded the limit of one within the 10 day period.

    Yes, I did miss the point. Rather than ask the one person who could answer, you posted a question here, instead. You said that it was “too much trouble” to ask the seller. When I pointed out that it probably wouldn’t be much more trouble than posting here, you wrote “ Yea,,,,,,,, but I know you guys,,,,,,”. You’ve now posted to this thread 11 times.
    Now it seems as if the point was to start a thread, asking a question, when you really just wanted to complain.

    I've never used the option, but why is it any different than the HHL that folks wanted the Mint to set at one?

    There are legitimate users for it. It also could simply be on by accident.

If you post to it 4 times to complain about the poster or topic well then you are just looking for trouble. But then again you frequently have to gripe about something that I post.

    My dear old Granny always said,,,,,, if you can't say something nice to "Keep your mouth closed" or in this case keep off the key board.

    If anyone should complain about people posting too much I think that it should not be YOU,,,,,,, you post a counter-point for almost every topic and most of the time it is to point out how someone else is wrong,,,,, or not 100% correct or just to show how much you know compared to everyone else.

    As has been said many times here if you don't like a topic don't open it, or if you opened it not knowing what to expect then don't open it again if you don't like it. If you post to it 4 times to complain about the poster or topic well then you are just looking for trouble. But then again you frequently have to gripe about something that I post.

    My dear old Granny always said,,,,,, if you can't say something nice to "Keep your mouth closed" or in this case keep off the key board.

    Well maybe I just wanted to point out what I consider something stupid on eBay,,,,,,, if you don't agree that is fine. It is done here all the time.

    There are legitimate uses for it.

    If I'm looking for new customers, I could sell $1 silver certificates for $1 each with free shipping. But if I do that without the limitation, the first person who finds the listing will buy all of them. So, it is one to a customer and I've made contact with dozens of newbies rather than one greedy newbie.

    So, maybe the seller accidentally had it turned on. Yawn. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

    Well Mark, it is just your shining personable personality that brings it out in me.

    And what do you think brought it out of @airplanenut??? That is a puzzle....

    Some people just like to spread the wealth.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

    That’s good advice from grandma.

    Why not ask the seller?

    Too much trouble,,,,,,,

    Jeez - and I thought canning tomatoes was too much trouble when you can just go to the store and buy cans for a $1...........

    It depends on what is being sold. Is the seller listing loss leaders and doesn't want someone to buy up everything? Is the seller afraid that someone will buy a ton of items and then not pay, ruining a lot of sales? I've had the latter happen to me, and it's a real pain. That said, since it doesn't happen often and the upside of having good buyers bid on lots of stuff far outweighs it, I'd never put in a restriction like that one.

    That is not it,,,,,,, just a one-off token,,,,,,

    Didn't really expect to get an answer here as no-one knows the answer but the seller,,,,,,, just trying to point out what I feel is a silly restriction.

    I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but I really don’t understand your reasoning. The seller might or might not have a good reason for it, or, has been pointed out, maybe it wasn’t intentional. But he’s the only one who can tell you. And pointing it out here, rather than to him, sure won’t get him to change it.

    You miss the point,,,,,,,, he has one item that I made an offer on,,,,,,, everything else are just trinkets,,,,, if he accepts my offer then fine,,,,,, if he doesn't then I don't care.

    You miss the point. You're missing something reaching out might obtain for you because you've decided to psychoanalyze his Ebay skills.

    I have an autistic friend who sees the world in black or white, right or wrong, yes or no. I have another friend who lives and thrives in the gray areas, and has a great time pointing out and discussing the crazy things he sees on the internet and in life. Neither understands the other.

    People view the world differently, and this place is no different.

    This is one thing that I like about this Forum,,,,,, you can get coin info and get "psychoanalyzed" all in one place and at no charge.

    You know I simply pointed out an odd eBay requirement.

    Well, this eBay seller has gotten a thread started about him, and now made a sale to see if that pop-up would appear. A few more people here may try. I think his business model may be a roaring success.😂😂
