Buying on ebay buyer account?
 

So I have made a buyer account and when I tried buying something for 0.99 it gave me this. What digs? I used the address a long time ago, but is ebay putting restrictions on same addresses now?

To ensure that eBay remains a safe marketplace, we limit the quantity of items that can be bought or sold by a single account at one time. These limits may change over time and are determined by your previous site activity and overall performance.

Currently, your account has reached the limit for bidding and buying, but you can increase this limit by providing additional verification. Thank you for your understanding.

Please follow the directions below to continue.

Never got this before, how much stuff are you actually buying on the same address?

buying limits? never heard of it. are you buying the same things over and over again from the same sellers?

Simple answer, yes. (especially if it has 'bad' history and there are possibly other 'strong' linking factors on the account)

If they feel that any account may pose a threat then they will limit it

This is the answer.
