Why have they been 'red flagged'

Other members cannot try to help, outside what you have been told by PayPal

Has there been a safety recall on the items?

Has the seller been booted off eBay?

Have you tried communicating with the seller to ask if they are aware of an issue with any of their other sales?

What exactly is your question?

Why are you surprised that PayPal won't assist you in completing a transaction which is most likely illegal? Perhaps you should heed their advice 😉

"two items I bought have been red flagged"

What are the item numbers ? Don't give the seller's name
