Transaction Blocked - A unique Ebay problem at how it was solved
August 11th, 2011
A friend of mine recently had a problem with his ebay store. Despite his stellar ratings and history, his items all of a sudden stopped allowing people to buy. When people would try to "buy it now", it would show the following error:
Transaction Blocked
We're sorry, but the seller of this item is unable to receive funds at this time.
After a while of trying to figure out just what he could have done wrong, he called Ebay. To Ebay's credit, they were able to fix it (after being on hold a long time). It was apparently a bug that was Ebay's fault. My friend then asked if there was any compensation for the lost sales this bug cost, and they transferred him to the department that apparently takes care of that. Unfortunately he was hung up on after being on hold a long time.
I hope this helps other honest Ebay sellers out there who have run into this issue.
