Why am I bidding to be told "no longer for sale"? Twice in three days & 1 buy now.

I have made a bid on two items from the one seller to be told they are no longer available. Two days later I chose the "buy now" option on similar items so as not to missed out, and same thing! Told it is not longer for sale. This is very frustrating.

Is it possible that you're being blocked due to having 2 or more unpaid item strikes during the last 12 months?
