Lack of Postings at Suspended eBay Seller

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Your favorite suspended eBay seller has been quite busy lately and has not had alot of time to post all of the scams and eBay cons he has discovered for a while. I am finally making time for this site and I will be posting with a vengeance for the remainder of the holiday season. I appreciate the positive encouragement I have gotten via the e-mails and such. I am still busy mopping up odds and ends of the mess that eBay has made for me.

eBay loves to tell everyone how they suspend “bad” sellers for the protection of the eBay Community. Like most of their “Trust & Safety” bullshit, this is a half-truth. After they suspend you, they don’t let you have any access to your account so you dont even know who to ship items to, who has been taken care of and who still needs items and . Now, if they suspended an honest seller who really is trying to clean his act up, why wouldn’t they want them to have access to the list of orders of people who have already paid? I sent eBay a letter demanding that they send me that information and to date they have never responded.

The only correspondence I get from eBay these days is their collection agency trying to collect about $700 and change in fees that they charged to my account. I do wish eBay good luck with that, because I do not intend to pay those fees - ever.
