I am a Ebay Seller that selles Cell Phone & Aceessories. I don’t use paypal, but a credit card merchant acct. Recently my merchant acct got suspended for 180 days. Caused of suspension? increase of voulme and high risk product. Now, my acct has been suspended for about 2 weeks. In the mean time, I was still selling cell phones because they first told me that it was just a small review, so I thought everything would be okay. I have all the accessories in stock cos I bought them at a close out. But for an actual cell phone, I used a dropper shipper. Now, I have already spent all my lifetime saving to have those cell phone orders shipped out without any money being returned for another 180 days. But I am now out of my savings already. In fact, I am even getting kicked out of my apartment, too, cos I didn’t pay my rent but to ship phones. Now, I still have 40 customer’s order not shipped. They are going crazy at me~ what can I do? Even my bank acct is overdrawn. Am I committing a Fraud?
To people who are answering my question! I did not take people’s money. My Credit Card merchant never released the funds to me. They have the money and won’t return it for another 180 days because they suspended my account. I used a drop shipper, so normally once I recieved my customer’s money, I will send it over to my vendor and have them ship out the goods. But after they have suspended my merchant acct, I stop recieving money. So I have been shipping goods to my customers without any money depositing to my account. I was using my lifetime saving to ship to goods out. But now I am so broke & have no more money to ship the items. That’s why I am asking if I have committed a fraud if I can’t ship. Cos my merchant told me that it is my responsibility to have the goods shipped even if my merchant acct is suspended. But I am like "but I have never even recieved any funds from the purchase" Well, I did, I used my savings and shipped until I am now broke. Do I go to jail next?
I still have orders that are not shipped – Those customers are going crazy at me. I absolutely have no more saving to ship out their orders.. Unless my dear merchant release some of my money back, but that’s not due for another 6 months… I am so screwed
I signed up for a credit card merchant account, but not Paypal! Many years ago, I was only 18 yrs old. I have sold some of my own Clothes, Nikes, Playstation 2, DVDs and Games using Ebay via Paypal. For no reason in particular, Paypal at that time had suspended my account and had my funds frozen. The information they wanted from me was unobtainable, such as invoices for the merchandise I was selling which was difficult since most of the items were my own personal belongings. So paypal held my funds for 6 months and it was a horrible experience. After this, I decided to use a credit card merchant account instead of going through paypal. To your other question, I have order processed my customer’s order, they have already gone through the checkout system and paid. So after they’ve paid, my merchant should give me the money by depositing to my bank. But since my merchant acct has been suspended, of course the answer is no deposit, "but you still have to ship"
To you next question: Okay, Everything seemed fine, but then I realized that funds were not being deposited from my credit card merchant and I find out yet again that my account is on hold for some time for review (the holdup being due to chargebacks from several customers). Those chargebacks were looked into and I realized that they were from people that had used stolen credit cards. So cell phones were shipped out and chargebacks were done. My merchant concluded me as a high risk account, that’s why they suspended me. (thanks to those fraudulant credit card customers of course)
Answer question 1:
No I am not the person who sold you a bad charger. In fact where I come across a defective item, I will replace it for my customer.
To answer Question 2:
According to my first paypal acct, please go to http://www.paypalsucks.com You will know what I am talking about. But thank you for you advise

I have been trying to deal with getting back on after a suspension but they are ridiculous after three months of writing them I’m no farther toward a settlrment then when I started and it came about by a fraud buyer lieing

I received an email (allegedly) from eBay with this in the subject line: FPO NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension -Section 9

The message looks authentic, and it takes me to a non-secure site that also looks authentic to eBay. It then asks me to enter my credit/debit card info, and also asks for my PIN number. The PIN number is what bothered me – I’ve NEVER been asked for that online ever before, and I’m pretty sure this is fraud.

Here is the site that the e-mail takes me to. Maybe some of you more tech savvy than me can tell whether it’s actually eBay: http://signin.ebay.com.ws.ebayisapi.dll.usingssl.yes.signin.siteid.pagetype.copartnerid.a4xmgkby41fub4wsypldocrd6z0izjr7yqklzssh.stevene-burns.com/~lnfh/skin1/modules/Subscriptions/contact.php?co_partnerId=2&pUserId=&email=&siteid=0&pageType=&pa1=&i1=&bshowgif=&UsingSSL=&ru=&pp=&pa2=&errmsg=&runame=&ruparams=&ruproduct=&sid=&favoritenav=&confirm=&ebxPageType=&existingEmail=&isCheckout=&migrateVisitor&&MfcISAPICommand=ConfirmRegist

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.
