I use McAffee VPN. Is that causing the issue? I don't want to turn it off- rather defeats the whole object of having it. Above is only the latest bid that did not work.

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your question about your bids. Per our last reply to you, eBay is blocking your bids and needs for you to contact them to resolve.

The error is, "Your account may have been accessed by a third party. In an effort to protect your account, we have put a temporary block on bidding, selling and the ability to send messages to other eBay members until we can safely restore your account to you. Please click here to contact eBay Customer Service for assistance in removing this temporary account restriction."

You'll see that error if you try to bid manually.

I hope this has been explained to your satisfaction. Thank you for writing in, and please let me know if you have any other questions.
