Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!

God......I can just feel my blood pressure rising as I read these posts.

This is exactly why I won't sell on ebay anymore.....EVER.


Triple xXx....

Can you please post your listing verbage right here for us? I'll bet I could tell you in short order what your "violation" was, as this happened to me.

It could be something with you mentioning paypal and how the charge for it is handled...It could be about you commenting on another company....

I have had the same thing happen to me, when all I was doing was absolute full disclosure on how I was trying to raise money which was why I was selling the item......and I stated that using paypal was counter-productive to my effort. BUT....I said....."If you want to use paypal, I will aloow it for the extra security it gives you buyers...but you will have to pay their fee they charge me".

IIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! WRONG!....says ebay!

I was in "violation", as it turned out, of dodging selling fees....and they shut my auction down. EVEN as I fully disclosed that I was only selling the item to raise money, and I only wanted a check, money order, or cashier's check.

I hate ebay.

I hate the gen "X'ers" and Gen "Y'ers" that run the place.

They are clueless.....ignorant.....without business sense, and completely void of the ability to reason.

Post your verbage....let me see if I can help you out.

Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!

I got SERVED recently too..I deal in vitage skateboards to facilitate my Game Used addiction. I HAD a perfect 100% feedback since '98. The other day i sold to a guy who paid right away. So i sent it out the next day. Two weeks later no feedback. Then out nowhere i have a negitive feedback and paypal coming after me. So i lose the skateboard.$200.00
lose with Paypal 200.00 and get a negitve feedback THAT I CANT RESPOND TO. Buyer did not want confirmation and insurance so I pay.
Lesson Learned....Tried to call Ebay for REASONING, and i must have got the same "Bimbo" triple XXX got.....I"m done with them.. they dont care if you were there sice 98 or 2008..Burn Ebay Burn

I don't know why they have to go and mess up a good thing. I have read all of your posts on here about how bad the recent changes to eBay have made them. Now I am a victim, and I need to vent it off.

So, like most Bears collectors, I was hoping to cash in on our newest 'Dream Man', Jay Cutler.

A few weeks ago I got in touch with my connection at Reebok and asked them to make up 40 Authentic On-Field Cutler jerseys for me. I forked out the cash, up front, and all was good.

They arrived in the mail yesterday, exactly as I ordered, so I took some snapshots, wrote up a listing and posted them on eBay. 5 different sizes, 5 different listings.

4 out of the 5 had bids. No more than 2 hours after I had listed them I got an e-mail from eBay's Trust & Safety Dept. stating that I was in violation of eBay policy and that all of my listings have been removed....WTF!

I called the customer service line, only to be given the run around. I was told that they cannot give me any specifics as to why I was in violation. They could only tell me that I WAS in violation.

Now, why in the hell can they not tell me what's up. How am I supposed to correct the problem if no one is able to tell me what the problem is?

After some hard thought about what I may have violated, I went back on to My eBay, and tried to put them back up, only to be told that I have to take some ridiculous tutorial about policy violation.

So, I took their tutorial, redid the listing, took different photo's, redid the title and description, and relisted them.

4 hours goes by. I have bids on all 5 listings. I go to bed at 10pm. I get up this morning to the same frickin' e-mail!

They removed them AGAIN!

By now I am P*SSED OFF! I get back on the phone with Customer Care. They again tell me that they cannot tell me specifically what I was in violation of. I feel for the poor little girl I was screaming at, but I was not getting any answers and she refused to transfer me to someone who could assist me better.

Getting nowhere with this bimbo, I tried to call a 3rd time to try and get answers. Same story, except this time I was told to e-mail the Trust & Safety Dept. So, I did. I explained everything that was going on, my concerns, my 3 calls to customer care, etc.

Now I have to sit and wait to hear from them........

Why is it that they cannot tell me what I violated? Now my account is suspended & it isn't just 2 violations for 2 sets of listings. It's 10 violations! 1 violation per listing!

ARRRGGGGGG!! I am frustrated!!! Anyone have some advise on what I should do? Sorry about the tirade!

Ebay is essentially a monopoly and they act like it. It is ludicrous they can't tell you what's wrong and what you need to do to correct it.
