I'll have to disagree, Loren. The Seller did not block anyone else from
bidding. He simply "reserved the right to refuse to serve..." one person.
We've seen it many times in stores and restaurants. Why not on an online
sale? I have blocked potentially problematic bidders based solely on my
judgment. In some cases, a smart bass answer can be a sign of personality
conflicts which result in a very bumpy transaction.

Jeff, there will always be someone else selling the same stuff. Or ask the
Seller to unblock you from bidding. Or ask someone else with a Ebay account
to get the trim rings for you.

Cheers,
