no more questions allowed?
 

had a lot of questions to ask today about buying items, and got the following message:

"The form is not available at this time.
You have exceeded the maximum number of messages you can send. "


Anyone know when I can start asking questions again?

i seen that too the other day no clue...

Looks like your asking a question NOW.

sounds like your asking through PM's instead of on the forum itself

That could be the PM daily limit (to stop spammers). Were you trying to send a whole bunch of pms in a day?

Sorry - its on EBAY. Not on the forum...

That's really weird. How many did you send? I'm sure they might think you're spamming.

Messages to sellers you had not bid or purchased anything from, right?
I believe the limit is 5 messages to sellers you have not had any transactions with. Give it a try today, should work now.

I sent a TON. probably like 20. I wasn't spamming, I just had a lot of questions about the product I was buying.

Was the seller answering?

Well yes you said you was not spamming but it sure dose look like it to them. 20 message with 20 questions? why not just sent it in one message? If you was trying to buy from me asking this many questions I don't think I would even answer you back. You sound like a hard customer to please. ( scarring me away ) Also if you have this many questions about an item on eBay the best bet is to not even get the item.

It wasn't to the same seller, it was to several different sellers. I was just looking to find out what the limit was so that I don't hit it again, not be barraged for asking questions on eBay.

Weird, I've gotten that message twice before once I got to 5 questions.

Lol, so you were just curious when ebay would stop you? :pound:

Asking questions can be troublesome on ebay given that the account might be stealth.

ive gotten that a few times on each new account ive had.
