Received and mc999 suspension and have no idea why?

[mcd19]

Yesterday I got an email saying I was suspended because my account is raising serious concerns. I've had my account for 3 years now, and only buy with it. I've never sold an item or made a listing, and the only info I can find about this pertains to sellers. At the same time I got the suspension email, I got 4 bid retractions for items I bought and were shipped as long ago as 4 months. Any ideas why? I've called eBay and can't get an answer, and plan on calling again tomorrow.

They are cracking down of scammers as well. I am not saying you are a scammer, but you raise a threat to them, so they will eliminate you to fix the problem. There are plently of things that can raise flags as a buyer:

- Too many PayPal disputes
- Too many returns
- Too many non paying transactions
- Too many bid retractions

this list goes on and on.....the site is there to buy and sell and not to mess around with any bs. If a seller is causing problems, they will eliminate them, and if a buyer does the same they will eliminate them too. The same does for paypal as well.

I've never had a PayPal dispute or bid retraction (I don't understand where these bid retractions from items I've paid for and received months ago came from), and have only had one return for a wrongly described item. I've uses the site very regularly for years with no complaints or anything, and had just bought an item the day before, this came out of nowhere.

I did search the forum, all of the posts that came up were regarding seller problems (things like low shipping ratings or too many items listed), I've only used eBay as a buyer, so those threads didn't help.

In less than 2 month if you got good start up money and the product profit is good! Not 6 months.
