Hi
There are many instances when a new buyer, will have bid on an item and then did not pay for it. If a seller reports this to eBay, the buyer gets a strike against them. A second strike, for non-payment, means a censor from buying or bidding. Call eBay and find out why.
Sellers can also set up their Buyer Requirements on their auctions or listings:
This is what it looks like on the seller's listing page:
Buyer requirements
Block certain buyer from bidding on or purchasing your items. This may reduce the chances of your item selling, so use with caution.
