is ebay lying

[kittylove]

im tired of hiding so i called ebay and asked what i have to do to get my selling limits lifted. they said i have to pay outstanding fees to my other account, so that account can be reinstated, and my selling limits lifted off the other one.


i hung up

after that i got an email saying my account (the one with the selling limits) had been restricted from selling indefinitely
i didnt get that until i called.

so i called back and asked again, if i pay for my suspended account, will both that account be reinstated, and will the permanent selling limits be lifted

they said yes.

do you think they are lying. can i really get my accounts back if i pay?

here is what the message said

Dear,,

To help keep our website a safer place for buyers and sellers, your account will be restricted from selling indefinitely.

Our decision is based on evidence from our records. We're not comfortable with your selling practices or business model, and we feel they don't help to promote a positive buying and selling environment.

Even though you can't sell on our website, you can still use your account to buy or bid on items. For more information on the basics of buying, please visit:

Please remember that you can't use other accounts or register new accounts to sell on eBay. If you do, your accounts could be limited, restricted, or suspended.

Thanks,

eBay

It's kinda like owing money to the Electric Company...You don't pay you don't get electricity!

So here are your mistakes:
1. You Didn't pay your fees
2. You called EBay and then you got hit with a double wammy!

Ebay lies a lot.

Promise to reinstate accounts all the time only to can the account shortly after they get paid.

Next time you think like this, PLEASE discuss the topic here.

Yes, I understand the stresses of being stealth. But I also know, and know most bitterly, how ebay will deal with a request like yours.

They will make a false promise.

I had outstanding fees with a suspended account. I spoke to them about this. I was assured that I could pay up and get the account back.

Happily I did that. The account was restored. It was restored for TWO billing cycles. And then ebay killed it for ever. They offered a bull dust reason.
They killed the account.

ebay lies.

They will not reinstate your account even if you pay the amount outstanding. Learned this when I paid off my brothers account that was linked to mine, £300 I will never see again and I got no accounts to show for it.

I am quite sure it is a bunch of lies - they dont like you, they know you are back on their website, you owe them money...put 2 and 2 together...easy to try to get your money with few lies then sorry, we still dont want your business - BYE!

Now that being said, I am a firm believer that if you owe PROPER fees to eB, these should be paid but that's my opinion - you made money? pay your fees.

All this being said - best of luck with your choice of action
