What does T20157 code mean?

ally.gs — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:51:46 GMT

I have purchased number of items from the same seller. Now when I'm the winning bidder I get T20157 message come up, stating I have purchased enough items from this seller in the last ten days. I don't understand! HELP PLEASE!

Buyer activity limits

I suspect the seller has these blocks in place

What are buyer requirements?

You can block buyers from bidding on or purchasing your items by specifying buyer requirements through the 'Sell Your Item' form or in My eBay. You can block buyers who:

Haven't gone through phone verification
Have unpaid items recorded on their account
Have a primary postage address in countries you don’t post to
Have reportedly violated eBay policies
Have a Feedback score lower than the number you specify
Are currently winning or have bought "1-100" of your items in the last 10 days (you can specify the number)

simply pay for th items already purchased as they obviously have blocks in place to protect themselves against fraudulent bidders (not suggesting you are but sellers do need to protect themselves)

email the seller and ask if they will put you on their block exemption list and let you buy a few more

Is the seller who has blocked you the same one from whom you've purchased 10 ties in the past couple of weeks, and to whom you gave negative feedback on May 31st? If so, you probably have your answer.

On your feedback given for others,there is a lot of "tried to contact seller but still pleased with delivery" what does that even mean? Was there a problem ?Some sellers wouldn't be overjoyed by this ambiguous FB or the neg with positive remarks.If you made a mistake leaving that Neg for the seller you want to buy from,you might offer to revise your FB so that you do not affect their DSR.

Who knows,it's all a bit hit & miss with you by the look of it.

the ability to ediot disappears after a few minutes.

But for future - to the top right of your post is a drop down menu marked options,

Whilst the edit feature is available, it will appear in that menu

Too late. Once less than positive feedback has been left it counts as a defect. Even a revision won't remove the defect, although it will improve the feedback percentage.

Just another one of the ways eBay are enhancing the experience.

I think you will see a lot more blocking and a lot less negotiation from now on, as the damage is done as soon as the initial feedback/DSR trashing occurs.

The OP was talking about the edit button for the posts, not feedback.
