I had some Emporio Armani jewellery pieces to auction on Ebay. After a week or so of listing, I was told by Ebay that my account had been suspended. I had been buying and selling since 2001 and had a 100% feedback record.
They refused to make it clear why I had been suspended and so I could not begin to put a case forward. If you do not know what you have done wrong, how can you make ammends?
They also notified my customers that they should not deal with me and my Paypal customers were also informed.
Now, they have sent me a bill for Final value fees and other auction fees, despite having suspended me and not allowed my auctions to finish.
They are a huge company and I now know that their regular, big traders can force smaller traders out.
What scumbags!
I now trade on ebid.co.uk and find their terms and sense of fairplay to be great.
My advice: boycott Ebay - you will get screwed by them sooner or later and they are truly faceless when you are in trouble. |

I know how you feel. I use to buy bulk movies and resold them on ebay. They were new and sealed movies but ebay suspended me and say I was selling bootlets. I faxed them the invoices and stuff as they requested and was told that they found the complaint agaist me valid and that I could't sell there anymore. I found out it was a powerseller that said I was selling bootlegs who was selling the same things I was and was mad because I was under cutting the price. In fact we both got our merchandise from the same company...I sell on a domain site now and on iOffer.com...Screw ebay and its power sellers. Sellers are good but not when you don't have any customers left to buy.
