There is an option under Buyer Requirements where a seller can check this. I had some buyers that were getting this message too even though I did not have this box checked. Took several days for ebay to fix it. I was also told they do put some limits on buyers depending on how many items they have purchased recently.
If you still want to purchase from the seller, tell him to add your user ID to his Blocked Bidder Exempt list. It's a hassle but should allow you to purchase from him.
If you are a seller and are wondering if this is happening to you, go to Account settings, click on site preferences. Scroll down to Buyer Requirements and click show. On the left there is a link that says "Buyer Requirements Activity Log".
Click that and it will show you what buyers have been blocked from bidding on your items and for what reason.
