Buyer restriction

Hi I'm new to eBay (2 days).

I received this message when I tried to do a buy it now.

 

You’ve reached a temporary buying restriction.

You can only buy items where you can pay immediately at checkout. To continue, find an item with an immediate payment method and click on the “Add to Cart” button in the listing.

 

Anyway I did what it said but still cant buy.

I verified my bank account (all good).

What gives.

Do I need  to wait 7 days???

Have you read the Buyer Guide at all?

 

What are buying limits?

A buying limit means you won't be able to buy any more items until you complete your current purchases and orders.

If your buying activities have been limited, it may be because:

  • You're new to the site, and are making a lot of purchases or buying expensive items
  • You've suddenly and significantly increased your bidding or buying activity
  • You have an excessive number of unpaid items or cancelled orders because you didn't pay on your account
  • You're the highest bidder on a number of auctions, but haven't paid for any items yet

You need to go to the link that Stawks provided then scroll to the bottom and chat with eBay about it, ask to speak to a supervisor as soon as you are able to.

What is the value of the item you're trying to purchase?

 

Alternatively, try and purchase as a guest. In other words, log out, and then just try and purchase again and go through guest checkout.
