Can't post a question to the seller, trademe shows "Request Blocked" message after i press send message

Hello Shawn. Are you getting this error on only that sellers items? Can you ask questions on other people's auctions? How are you asking a question? Via the App or via Desktop? If one way isn't working try another.

Sometimes the errors on Trade Me are not that helpful. Is there a possibility the seller has blacklisted you?

Is it a suspect item? New seller, higher value item?
