Can sellers block people from contacting them on ebay?

Went to email someone about a bike rim/tire on ebay and get this:

We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing.


I've gotten this a couple times. Does this mean the seller won't answer any questions about the item?

Just checked the listing, someone else asked a question because the seller posted it
