It's just a game, where if they find I am linked to an old account, I get suspended again. If they had half a brain, they might think - ****, he's created all these bogus accounts and yet he STILL hasn't ripped even one person off - maybe he just wants to sell and is legitimate?
I ship goods to people overseas who had paid me with bank wire even after being suspended. If that doesn't make a statement, I don't know what does.
I had several dozen people email the top people at T&S and a couple of them even wrote to me to acknowledge receipt of the emails of support from my buyers, but to now avail.
I'm just saying - the way EBAY works is like an automaton. Once suspended the chances of being reinstated are about zero. I think you must not work in Trust and Safety because reinstatements are very hard to come by when there is no actual offense - just guilty of "didn't like his looks." How does one PROVE that he will not defraud someone, other than through one's track record?
BTW are you with EBAY U.S. or EBAY U.K.? | I do work in TnS. I don't touch the GS side of things as, well, telling people how to leave feedback a hundred times a day is dumb  I'd rather not go into any more specifics about where in ebay I work because I'd get in big trouble from my superiors for posting on a forum as an employee -- it's happened before to others!
Anyways, I'll be honest with you about the other accounts thing. If you're caught using or creating a new account after you're suspended with one, you're right, we don't care why you were suspended originally. I'm assuming from your difficulties getting back on you're on the UK site, as it sounds like the new previously suspended guidelines, where you're suspended for 12 months on all accounts, no questions asked.
Here's how it works. You have accounts A, B and C. You're suspended on A. You say whatever and continue to use B or C (maybe even just for buying, it doesn't matter). All three accounts go down for a minimum of 12 months, no questions asked. And the only way you'll get them back after 12 months is if you've resolved the original suspension on A. Same thing applies if you create B or C after A was suspended.
Perhaps people have issues with that, but frankly, we don't care. Maybe some people are suspended unfairly, but we give you a fair chance to resolve your account. You're expressly warned from using or creating new accounts when your account is suspended. If someone (as is very commonly the case) decides not to pay their bill and creates a new account after they're suspended for non payment, then yeah we don't give a **** about them anymore. You violate our policies once and get suspended. Then you do it again by trying to get around the suspension. We don't want you on the site anymore, as simple as that.
Again, this isn't a personal attack on you as I don't know your circumstances, but a general outlook  |
