Buyer blocked because too many auctions won
Summary: gauthierm75 ran into a problem during the auction of his items on eBay, where a buyer was blocked from bidding further because he had won too many items without paying for them. This block caused a loss for gauthierm75, since other bidders were unable to take part. koalagris suggested that the block might be due to an eBay limit for new members or sales conditions set on the seller’s profile. gauthierm75 stressed the need to find a solution to this problem to avoid future losses.
I put about a hundred items up for auction with a one-minute interval between each one. A buyer contacted me to say that he could no longer bid because he had won too many items (he had not paid yet, he was waiting for the auctions to end so that I could combine them for shipping costs) = so he got blocked for too many unpaid items in the shop. I urgently combined his purchases so he could pay and bid on the remaining auctions.
That still means a loss for me because there was competition with other buyers.
Any ideas to avoid this problem? What is the limit of items won without paying before being blocked from bidding?
Thank you.

·10 months agoHello @gauthierm75
There can be 2 reasons:
* new member limited in their purchases by ebay (and there’s nothing to do about that, the limit will lift by itself after a few successful purchases)
* requirements recorded on your profile, it’s up to you to check them

That doesn't change the fact that it's a loss for me because there was a battle with other buyers.
what loss, since he had won the auction, the battle was over

OP10 months agoThere was a 10-minute gap between his message informing me of the block and the time it took me to group everything so he could pay. So 10 auctions on which he couldn’t bid even though he was in the process of winning almost all the items. That’s the loss for me. Otherwise, does anyone have an answer?
