Default Got suspended now I am getting a barrage of cases filed. What to do?

As I posted yesterday. I got suspended for bs. It seems they sent all my buyers removal notices of the items that they bought. Items I honored and shipped. Some wiseguys have filed cases against me. They are claiming items not received. I have all the tracking info and have provided it the case details. can anyone chime in here and tell me what I can expect from this or what I can do. everything I sold was shipped. It was non brand stuff that people are claiming too, real real cheap items. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance

This is eBay's Buyers Rewards Program.

In the event a seller is suspened or terminated, eBay will notify their buyers by email so that they can claim refunds, and also keep the merchandise.

FREE MONEY!



Basically, it is seller rape.

Disgraceful. You'll just have to put it down as a loss.

I have a hard time blaming the buyers. eBay allows and even seems to ENCOURAGE this sort of thing. The old feedback system worked very well. Ever since sellers lost the ability to leave negative feedback for buyers, it has been 'open season' on sellers. Scamming buyers can screw sellers, and there are no consequences. Some buyers realize this and take advantage of it.

I have responded to some cases with tracking info and one actually closed it out. At least they are very low priced items that are getting hit so I'm not worried yet. If I start getting hit on high priced items then I'll get pissed. Transferred funds to bank account just in case but I'm sure I'll get hit regardless of this.

If it is a Stealth Account---,, Walk Away

If Enough Sellers Walk Away and Leave Ebay/Paypal to deal with All Disputes Ebay will Do Away with that E-Mail Notification of a Suspended Seller,

If you have the tracking info there should be no issue?

Yep it is happening more and more. If you get anything back it will be an empty envelope with a tracking number.
Use their address and phone info to open your next stealth account.

And that's the other problem - eBay removes the listings so it's as if the sale never happened. That's why even the seller with tracking info is not protected. eBay washes their hands off of you.

I doubt there is a specific law addressing this. I mean, prior to eBay, how would this ever come up? Nobody ever had that kind of power before. eBay is pretty upfront about what they are doing, so it is not a deceptive business practice. Sleazy, yes.

It also occurrs to me that this might be a part of the reason they took away sellers' ability to leave negative feedback for buyers. Enough negative feedback could show a pattern of a buyer scamming sellers. Then, an attorney could argue that eBay knew, or should have known - by the information on their very own website - that the buyer had a history of such behavior. This could create legal liability for eBay.

And the media does not help matters. Nearly every story of online fraud involves a fraudulent seller scamming buyers out of their hard earned money. eBay sellers are viewed somewhere between used car salesmen and bill collectors.

So a bunch of sellers complaining is probably not going to get lawmakers to act to correct the problem. Now if we could only find a way to sell that as "protecting the children"...

It happened to me twice last summer..I had to email all buyers with a teary "explanation", telling them how Ebay and PP are, almost begging them to look closer at the case and my wonderful international 300+ positive feedback (50+ of which was regarding the same product that I sold in US and internationally)..I actually wrote all this info as a reply to a PP claim...at the end, guess what? 7 out of 10 buyers agreed to finish the transaction....it was a real headache but it was my last chance

I tried that and I have gotten responses from 2 out of 10 and one of them is trying to scam me out of paying completely and the other says she is out of the country and is running out of money herself but she is actively buying new items every day on ebay. her delivery address is 2 hours away from me. I am getting some ideas.
some buyers wrote me and stated that paypal is safe way to pay and thats the only way they will pay. I said to them paypal and ebay really has them fooled. when they have problems they will feel the pain too.
