Dear All, I am a sometime contributor to MOPO, have been a collector of recent and some vintage material for about ten years, my eBay account is in good order and always has been, having some 850 + positive feedbacks (over 1000 in total), and yesterday I placed a couple of snipes on Bruce's Halloween auction, one of which would probably blow your mind on a "lesser" collected horror title. (It is quite possible I have the largest Prom Night collection in the world, but I don't know many others, so I can't exactly compare notes.)
So I fire up the PC this morning to see what the damage is, only to discover I'm not the winner. No worries, maybe JustSnipe had an outage, though this would have been unusual as I've never had one before. Here I discover I had been "Blocked by Seller". Curious, I try to place a place a bid on another auction only to get "Transaction Blocked Unfortunately, this seller has decided that you are not permitted to bid on their listings." So my only question is why? I've had one successful dealing with Bruce in the past and no dramas (aside from inaccuracy in details on Australian paper, but that's my quibble and not one I've ever expressed). It makes no sense.
