I bought some books from ebay by my credit card . it charged me the money and then the system blocked my account and sent me an email says the purchase was canceled, caused I didn’t pay the seller money. I sent they two requests to give me a reason. The shit thing is I didn’t get any reply or my money back . What should I do now?>

I am a full-time medical student. I sell a lot of stuff on eBay and have gone thru many headaches with them. Unfair suspensions for random computer-automated stuff…limits..etc. It was frustrating and I could never seem to get anyone who was willing to help me understand what was going on.

Recently, I bought a lot and sold as well. Naturally..it’s the holidays. BAM..Paypal LOCKS my account. I only had about in there, so I wasn’t too worried. Yes, it DID mess up my business and has driven me into a whirlwind of depression…it’s a long story..but I just cannot believe that these companies are allowed to get away with what they do. So needless to say, I had enough. I said..I am no longer going to be a victim to eBay and Paypal. HOWEVER, in all fairness, I transferred a big lump sum of money into Paypal to make sure that my eBay seller fees were paid off. I have an automated monthly payment.

Although Paypal will not allow me to disconnect my bank account or ANYTHING from their account, I still wanted to follow the rules and pay eBay…although I despise them with a passion (I guess I "never had any issues" until it was ME that it happened to). Needless to say, eBay cannot process it since "Paypal" has placed limits, and they now want me to go OUTSIDE of eBay to pay with my credit card, etc. This is INSANE, as Paypal is THEIR company. I now have over ,000 in Paypal that I cannot get back. I was doing the right thing by placing it in there, so that my balance would be high enough for eBay to take their fees. I cannot get ANYTHING back from Paypal…and eBay wants me to pay a HUGE seller invoice "another way".

I simply do not have this money and these two companies are causing me so much stress that I am physically ill and nearly passing out at times. I want to do the right thing, and I have made a very clear effort, but I do not want to pay eBay ,000 because they cannot process the payment thru Paypal. That was the agreement. I pay on time every month, and signed up for the automated payment so they would always have their fees..and now this?

I wanted to ask..what happens if you do not pay your eBay fees? Again, it’s not because I don’t want to..it’s because Paypal now has ,000 and has frozen my account for 6 months (due to the holiday spike..and they said it was "suspicious" since I was buying and selling now….they asked for my social..I gave it to them..they performed a credit check..and said they were closing my account..I’m young so my credit isn’t really that great..) I have heard stories that Paypal never even gives this money back after 6 months..they find a way to fine you and say they are keeping it for fees, etc…all while they build interest off your money.

It’s bad enough that I’m at loss..and there is nothing I can do to stop these tyrants..but I simply cannot afford to lose another ,000 and I am thinking about telling eBay they need to take their payment from Paypal, or stop harassing me. What would happen? I know some say they will report you to the credit bureau..but how is that even possible if eBay doesn’t have any of your personal info? For all they know, you can type anything you want on your eBay account. Please help. Thanks

I have been a powerseller from 2000 up until my indefinet suspension. 100% feedback with never a dispute filed against me through ebay. I had squaretrade, paypal and was ID verified.
One day out of the blue, I recieved notification that my account has been suspended indefinetly for being linked to another users account. After many emails and appeals sent through thier useless contact method, I was able to find the user ID that they linked me to. This person is a relative whom lives in a totaly different household. He never logged in from my house. His bank account, credit card, paypal address ect.. had nothing to do with me! His last name is not even the same as mine but is only similar! They will not respond to my emails or appeals even though I am clearly mentioning that I have evidence that this person is not directly linked to me. At the time I was suspended, ebay was the only source of income I had. I had to sell my house, and car because my income changed. What can I do? Anyone
They never sent me that. What did you say or do to get that type of response?

I have a record of buying items but I accidently didn’t pay for one.

my Ebay was suspended this morning and now it’s blocked.
I don’t know what to do?Is my ebay account permanently gone?
Could I make another account with the same credit card?d
could I simply erase the account both ebay and paypal wait a week and make another one with the same credit card?

Adress will be different.

It has been two years since my account has been blocked, i made it just to look at items and then it said i bidded on alot of stuff and owe them money (this was 2 years ago), it turns out some person stole my account, luckily i had no credit card on it. I dont want to use it anymore but i logged on just recently and it said i cant permanitely close my account becuase i have been suspended, but that was two years ago! So is the best thing to do is just leave it alone and not bother with it anymore?

So after using ebay for a couple of years and selling i had a very good business and 100% feedback. My ebay got suspended, i have no idea why. I have a new credit card to sign up with, a new bank account, what else do i need to do to not get caught? New email address? Also should i write the same address that was on my old account on the new one or should i make one up? I cant get suspended this time so please help people.
