live.pirillo.com – Sutty5 writes “Many discussions recently have focussed on having more than one eBay account. Ebay has no problems with this, as long as each account is kept in good standing. Following are five reasons for opening multiple accounts.”

I have been a member of Ebay for quite some time, and hadn’t had any problems with them until now. I had a couple of auctions going this week (Jan. 2007) that I was really excited about, as they were getting very good bids. One of the auctions ended last night, and so I had sent the winner an invoice for the item. I was planning on checking my ebay account this morning to see if I had received any emails from the buyer, or if payment had been made yet. However, when I logged on to my account, I got a message saying my account was suspended for being involved in activities that violate their policy. I’ve never done such a thing, as I always followed the rules on ebay, and had never gotten any complaints or warnings about a possible suspension.
Not only that, but since Ebay is in cahoots with Paypal, my paypal account has been put on limited access. However, the reason that paypal gave me, was different than Ebay’s reason, and both were vague. Now, I’m out of a lot of money..and upset.
Barbara, I don’t see how anyone could have reported me for selling off of ebay, because I don’t.

I hadn’t received any warnings from ebay, and my feedback score was 100%. I did have a mystery auction on there, that was getting really high bids, but I followed all of the rules to list it. Plus, if that were in violation, then I would have just gotten a message first stating that the particular auction was pulled…I didn’t get such a notice. My paypal account message stated that an ebay member had made one or more "item not as described" or "item not received" complaints, but yet there is not record of it, and I have only had one auction end with the buyer sending me payment so far, and that transaction was completed with + feedback even. They got their item, and I got paid. No complaints as far as I know. Could I have been a victim of a hijacking? Could it be something else? I did have one member threatening me just this weekend..maybe that has something to do with it?

Wow.. It’s Still Scamming After Nearly 6 Days! I thought for sure it would be gone when i woke up this morning – but no such luck! Where is ebay’s TRUST and SAFETY when you need them? They sure are not watching the site! This must be more proof of John Donahoe’s staff cuts. And what about the ebay account owner? Where is this guy? I’m sure he must have been contacted by concerned ebayer’s by now. ebay has also recently started suspending members for posting fraud auctions like this one on their discussion boards. A good friend recently got a permanate bord suspension for posting a link to Ina Steiner’s auctionbytes.com blog. Nothing like ebay shooting the messengers! The member that got suspended from posting on the board was one of their best unpaid helpers who assisted other ebayers with ebay related problems. So ebay Members, if you clicked this buy now button don’t send the money! My email address is ebmscams@gmail.com if you have been scammed and need help. I might be able to recover an item number from search cache or be able to suggest some other solution.
