Hi again everybody,

I would like to thank you all for your posts and great information.
I joined yesterday and I think this is a great forum.
When reading posts in this forum, I wonder if I can trust eBay to be my partners and if I can rely on eBay as an income source.
If they suspend accounts so easily and treat eBayers like criminals, I can have a great eBay business, quit my job and then find myself one day with nothing.
I know myself. I know I conduct my business honestly, but if eBay have their own dictionary and their definition of "honesty" is different, I can never be sure they will not suspend me even if I'm the most honest eBayer.
Don't they understand that even EMPIRES disappear one day because they consider themselves to be GOD and don't care about people?

Anyway, as I mentioned, they suspended my account.
About 10 hours ago I sent my second appeal and now I'm waiting for their reply....They'll probably let one of their "machines" reply, a formal mechanical reply...

I wonder how they decide about the suspension.
One member of this forum has been suspended for 30 days for feedback manipulation. In eBay's eyes it's a serious offence, something done actively against their rules, and his account has been suspended for 30 days.
Another member has been suspended for 1-3 days for the same violation as mine (miscategorization). This relates to his 6 year old account.
And my account has been indefinitely suspended for miscatogarization.
I haven't done anything to promote the digital items in my store. They have been there for more than one year. And when I decided to promote 2 digital items, I listed them online as physical items shipped on a cd, so I did respect eBay's policy.
My account is 5 years old, no previous suspensions, no problems, 1238 feedbacks 100% positive, so why did they decide to get rid of me? How do they decide about the suspension periods? I just wonder...
