The seller may have ended the listing early – although this is something we strongly discourage. Or, if the seller breached one of our policies, we may have had to cancel the listing.
Sellers sometimes set requirements for potential buyers based on their payment or shipping preferences. For example, some sellers may not ship to the country or area where you live.
If that happens, you’ll see a message asking you to contact the seller when you try to place a bid. Let them know you’d like to bid, and they may change their requirements to allow you to take part.
It’s important to us that auctions are always fair and honest. Sometimes a member who knows the seller – perhaps a family member or friend – bids on an item to drive up the price. This is known as shill bidding and isn’t allowed on sellanythingauctions.
