I don’t really understand.

Please note that the SEPA account to which I tried to sell BTC was more than a year old. And as I can see from the market data, that offer was very likely later taken by another seller (unique amount).

So should I assume I’m blocked? Does this explain both the technical difficulties described when taking an offer and when an offer is taken (see [Trade stuck before step 1](https://bisq.community/t/trade-stuck-before-step-1/7245/24))?
