Buying BiNs when blocked

Post by Idris »

I recently discovered a partial way round being blocked by a seller. It only works for BiNs, but that's better than nothing.
Ebay allows purchases to be made as a guest so, all you need to do, is log out of your account, call up the item in question, and click on the 'Buy it Now' button. Ebay will then ask you whether you want to log in or continue as a guest. Choose the latter and you can make the purchase even though the seller has blocked you.

This is why people have multiple E-Bay accounts. If one gets blocked, use a different one. Large volume sellers especially, rarely notice the common address to both accounts.

why have you been blocked?
would you trust seller to not %^&*^ you again?
a large volume (actual ) honest seller doesnt really have time for that.
I purchased a strawberry (not) lagonda , had to pay for it, had to pay $25 to send back ,only got 20% refund, sbay refused to fix it,then got blocked.
it is the devious/misleading sellers or those with multiple accounts as directed by scbay so as to make fake bids
have not bought $$$$$ equipment in 3 years ,as 90 % of the bids are faux or the item is junk with faux photos
have documented $15K items selling 5-6x and we are blocked from buyer , truth it was junk
