I'll have to disagree, Loren. The Seller did not block anyone else from bidding. He simply "reserved the right to refuse to serve..." one person. We've seen it many times in stores and restaurants. Why not on an online sale? I have blocked potentially problematic bidders based solely on my judgment. In some cases, a smart bass answer can be a sign of personality conflicts which result in a very bumpy transaction. Jeff, there will always be someone else selling the same stuff. Or ask the Seller to unblock you from bidding. Or ask someone else with a Ebay account to get the trim rings for you. Cheers, BenT |
