Re: Unable to purchase item

It says why in the message

 

Other members cannot tell you anything else

 

Have you indeed already bid on several items?

 

High priced items?

 

Have you tried the suggestions in the message?

 

Have you ever had another account closed by eBay?

 

Are you trying to bid/buy from overseas sellers?

Re: Unable to purchase item

I have bought 2 items in the last 4 months and bid on nothing.

I am trying to buy a $30 item from America

That buyer may have restrictions on buyers with zero feedback. You could try messaging the seller.

eBay does often place limits on buying and a  cc on file usually helps prevent this

 

But many sellers  in the US  have settings in   their buyer requirements  to  only  sell to buyers  who have a payment method on file.
