Would it be because I’m in Canada and the auction says US only?
I had already communicated with the seller, who was willing to sell to me.

Greetings,
That they’re willing to sell it to you, doesn’t mean that the requirement has been waved on the item, unfortunately. Most sellers don’t realize that eBay enforces requirements technically.

That said, the error you got is far more commonly a requirement to have a Paypal account linked to your eBay account. (Not just have a Paypal account, but have linked it to your eBay account through their interface.)

Country-requirements are certainly a possibility, though, yeah…

That message is really specific, it means eBay rejected the bid with the text:

This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements.

It’s one of the longest, most specific error tests in JBidwatcher… So either it’s the Paypal linking issue, or eBay enforcing the country distinction, despite your seller’s wishes.

Best of luck,

Thanks Morgan.

I do indeed have a Paypal account, I don’t know that it’s linked to my eBay account, I’ll check that out.
