Bid on a seller's item then bid on another of his items. Was not allowed to bid on a third. Why?

How can a seller forbid buyers from bidding on more than one of their auctions?  What kind of thing is this?

It can be a useful tool to reduce risk.

There have been instances where mischievous bidders have blitzed a seller with bids they have no intention of completing, for the thrill of it or because they have a hate on for the seller.

 

Your best bet would be to contact the seller and politely ask if you can bid on the third item.

Refer him to your feedback left (buyers can only get positive feedback, so that is irrelevant to showing your bona fides).

At the same time ask about combining and discounting shipping on your items. Note that if the seller is signed up for the Global Shipping Program he will be unable to combine shipping.

A seller can set a limit on the number of items a buyer buys.

 

You can contact the seller and ask them to allow you more items.
