Wow... been a member for years here and asked a seller for measurements of a garment before bidding, no reply. So I decided to bid anyway and found I was blocked??? What is going on here??
I think a couple of things might be behind it.
It's true a seller can block any ID for any reason, but usually you wouldn't expect to get blocked simply for asking a question about measurements.
It could be that the seller looked at your feedback. Most of it is positive, mind you, but the occasional neg & neutral seems to have been (quite often) about complaints about clothes & their quality or fit, so that may have put the wind up the seller.
But just as likely is they may have been worried to give exact measurements in case you came back at them for item not as described and claimed one of their measurements was out 1cm or whatever.
Or they may just not want to measure it, too much bother.
The most likely reason i think is they want a straightforward sale with no hassles, so anyone who asks anything at all or looks like putting them to the slightest effort is probably going to get blocked.
I wouldn't worry about it. A seller who ignores your messages is slack & rude & isn't likely to be a great help if things went wrong with a sale anyway so maybe you've dodged a bullet.
