You are right of course, but my complaint is that I must first read the entire listing to see if all of the information I require is listed and if not check to see if contact is blocked before I proceed.
I decided to try your suggested search, and randomly picked 35 items to check one at a time. On each one, I was able to get to the contact seller message page. It doesn't appear this is a widespread situation. Perhaps you keep trying with various items from the same seller?
If this is happening to all the items you are looking at and reading the entire listing to see if all of the information you require is there only to find out that communication is blocked, try the Contact seller link first and if blocked, then don't bother reading the listing and move on.
