Screaming at members on here will not be much help

Members on this board are just that, members, buyers and sellers like you

Ebay staff do not read these boards

We do not/cannot change the format, we do not have rebots

It is not a seller's fault you do not have a mobile number, so why abuse them?

So long

You say you have made several attempts to buy items on ebay.   If you have committed to buy and then not followed through with payment you may had non paying bidder strikes on your account.

Most sellers have their account set to not accept transaction with non payers.....it sounds like this may be the case with your seller.

Low feedback can be another trigger....have you phone verified your account to get round this block?

There is no need to yell at the members here....we are not ebay and ebay does not read here.

Have you made any effort to find out why you are being blocked by sellers?  If it has been going on since you first registerd this account you really need to sort it out before you do irrepairable damage to your account.

Have you tried ringing ebay and/or paypal?   It would be a lot more productive than yelling at the volunteer members on the boards.

Some sellers only use couriers and that seller may use one that requires a mobile number.

Find another seller.

Sell them to someone else, I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did you ever contact the sellers you were trying to buy from and advise what was happening and / or ask for assistance? eBay is a big site, with a lot of different options, and it can get confusing or overwhelming for a lot of people new to the site, but one thing I know is that when something isn't working as expected, the "f this" method is generally less satisfying in the long run than the "could someone please help" method.

I have never known a courier who will not accept a landline number.....they only need to be able to contact the addressee in case of problems with delivery.

[letscleanupmycupboards]

Lyndal a landline isn't much good to a courier if you aren't home.

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

true, but if a courier driver calls before driving to your place and nobody answers because nobody is home they can make other deliveries until they do catch you at home to arrange a delivery time.

There was once a time when we didnt have mobiles and couriers had to use landline numbers.

[lyndal1838]

So what do you think happens to those of us who are home but don't have access to a mobile but do answer our landlines?

I only have my landline number registered with ebay and it is the only number I ever give for deliveries.....I have never had a problem with couriers or other delivery people.

Not everyone lives with a mobile phone glued to their ear.

True, some of us use velcro. Or hook and ladder, or whatever it is.
