Urgent reply needed-Unable to communicate with eBay USA sellers

[president_of_india]

Recently i have bought 6 items from ebay USA. I have paid for all items through Paypal. I want to know the shipping details and status of my ordered items.But when i click on contact seller link i get a message as:

Attention!
In order to maintain safety in the marketplace, eBay may require additional verification when you are listing, bidding or communicating with members registered on a different site than your own. At this time, we ask that you provide a valid credit card to verify your account:

Verify using a Credit Card

Your credit card will not be charged--it is for verification purposes only. For additional information regarding Credit Card verification, please click here.

When i click to verify the credit card it takes me to "Global Error" Page

https://arribada.ebay.com/saw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?PlaceCCInfo&page=804&BillingAccountType=B

and gives me a message as:

Unable to Process Credit Card

Sorry, we can not process this credit card for you. Please go back to the site you originally registered to use your Credit card

Hi I am in same boat same problem here...

[bestofkashmir]

Please check if you have ever received any 'Unpaid Item Strike'. I used to get this message while trying to buy on Ebay.com (when I had one 'Unpaid Item Strike'). But as soon as I got it removed, the messages stopped appearing.

[abhishes2]

Can anyone help me? I am having the same problem. I have written to ebay help many times but didn't get any response from them...

why is this error comming?

[indraneel@ebay.com]

Hello abhishes2,

There are several reasons for which a user faces block/limits while bidding on ebay sites other than ebay.in.

Please contact our Customer Support Team to know the exact reason for the same.

do you people ever wonder why ebay does not put such filters on .us or .au or other websites, why such limitations just exist on .in websites, inspite of being willing to provide cc verfication, i cant bid, i just cant find the cc verif link anymore, there is no such link for those who create account from .in website, and the damn "global error page" keeps showing up whenever i want to buy bid or even asks the seller a question, when i call up customer supp they dont have a damn clue about how to get this thing fixed, they say i need 2-5 positive feedbacks, which was indeed a stupid reply they couldnt even tell me how many feedbacks i need, i hope they themselves know(hopefully ebay doesnt use a self evolving website), its just a show off of double standards towards treating its users. ebay sucks
