There is no way to know it will happen until the bid is placed. I just tried to bid on an item from that seller using our account, and it returned the same error. We can't bypass Buyer Requirements, and this is well documented in several parts of our site.
How about this:
1. Place another bid on a similar scope from the same seller.
2. If it doesn't return a Trust and Safety error, we'll pay for the scope.
3. It has to the be the same seller, and we need a snapshot of the bid being accepted this week.
Also, the proof of bid placement (including the exact second it was placed) is in the log file.
