The short story is I put 6 pairs men's bamboo trunks from a Chinese seller in my ebay cart. I'd bought 2 prs before to check size & they arrived quickly from China. (Within a week!)
Went to purchase the 6 in my cart; But was only allowed to buy 3 via PPal on 17/5 ; I supposed it was a glitch that I couldn't buy the 6 items. Contacted seller; Poor English skills suggested I try to buy 1 item @ a time. Still didn't work!
Evidently I'm only allowed to buy 3 items from seller per 10 days? Weird? & seller has no idea why. Anyway; I did check to see if the cart would work today & each item is now AU $1.90 more than the 3 items hopefully in transit. Has anyone else found a similar problem? Unable to clear cart & then have the price rise?
Now before everyone goes off @ me for buying Chinese; The same trunks are some $10.00 per pair more expensive in K-Mart stores. I checked my local store yesterday! - Same items!

Thanks Digi; I did try to communicate with the seller; They want to sell to me & cannot figure out or do not have enough Englsh skills to understand. In the meantime I can't clear my cart & the price has risen - evidently not of the seller's volition. So weird! but does seem seller implemented & the seller doesn't know why or how it occurred!

Do you have anything else in your cart?
It may be possible to troubleshoot the problem if you can add and remove other items, or even use the 'save for later' option.

What currency are they listed in? Could it be a currency fluctuation? A lot of sellers list in US dollars but I know these are possibly already in AU dollars.
I had to laugh at this by digi: so theoretically they should be able to be removed. Not in public, I hope! 😉 (men's trunks)
Have you tried getting one of your family to buy them on their account, just to see what happens?

Nothing else in my cart; Listed in $AU & cart won't clear @ all! I may just try to buy the other 3 & see what happens?

Sorry to reply to myself; But I was just then able to buy the 3 pairs in my cart & finally clear it! The seller's "Only 3 items per 10 days" rule must have stuffed up the cart in some way?
