Debt collectors?
 

Hello, what is it like for easter european people with debt collectors? do they come cause i'm in Lithuania and have £400 to pay in ebay fees also i can't do it by paypal because they say it does not support the currency,
I was just wondering if they would notice what address to send the debt collectors to? as I was changing the addresses very often from Lithuanian(My) to UK(Random) back to Lithuanian (different)
btw my ebay account is suspended currently.

The best thing to do is try to work out a way to pay it off

You can use a VCC without too much issue

Re: Debt collectors?
 

You will get emails from a debt collection agency, Arvato is one such company that works in E Europe. As far as something in the post well depends whether you are stealth or not.

Yes, best to pay off your fees, try to convert your currency into GBP

You can use a gift card or vcc to pay the fees OP

Re: Debt collectors?
 

They will come and kick your door down and take all of your stuff.

If you own money, pay it or they come for you.

But in the end i gota make profit.

Re: Debt collectors?
 

Not sure re Europe, but in the UK debts (civil/non court ones), are virtually unenforceable. Some people just ignore the calls/letters, but your ac will obviously end up toasted.

Re: Debt collectors?
 

just pay it, you racked up the bill in the first place. before you sell something, you should have all your costs calculated and have worked out profits and all.

Jesus, you arite my man?

In reality, just pay the fees- Even if its little by little.
With these things, you never want them to linger in the air for too long- Sooner or later they'll become an issue, so its easier and safer to just deal with it now. Even if "dealing with it" means paying it off step by step or in small chunks.

reminds me of a previous user, liked the Alps and was a somewhat legend - if I recall......

Re: Debt collectors?
 

When they did the poll for legend status, there was only Doberman slobber,

:doh:

Re: Debt collectors?
 

Well you could change your business practises. Bear in mind when you joined up for PayPal, you agreed to their T&C... paying fees was one!

WTFudge is your flag America-Samoa? You are no more from there than the man in the moon.

Correct your flag.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

Not sure if unearthing this old thread is helping the OP hah

Re: Debt collectors?
 

⊗⊗⊗⊗ info = no

real info = yes pay

Re: Debt collectors?
 

lol 3 years later, I'm pretty sure the OP solved their problem one way or another.

Re: Debt collectors?
 

Just don't get your accounts linked. Owing fees is the main thing eBay will close linked accounts over.

3 years ago I made my Etsy show with few listing but did not sell or bought anything there. I was a student then and used my dads credit card. My friend showed me how to set google ads for my Etsy show. Later I forgot about my listing and ads when I noticed emails coming about payments. I ignored them and they suspended my account last year but weirdly a few weeks ago I received email -

Dear Diana Anna,

This is a friendly reminder that your Etsy bill was due on May 1. As of now your statement balance has not been fully paid.

Please note, if your total statement balance of EUR 1,181.62 is not paid in full by, your bill will become overdue. Overdue accounts will have shop privileges restricted, including the ability to create a new listing, renew a listing and purchase shipping labels.

Please make a payment by in order to avoid these restrictions.

I also received an invitation to change the card on file as it expired.

I don’t have that much money to pay and I don’t want to continue my show. I am okay with suspension and not using this platform in the future. I did not gain any sales. I am just afraid what do they do if I don’t respond to email and do not pay? My account is suspended but why do I receive bill still asking for payment?
Can I just ignore it and not pay and move on as I don’t want to continue running shop and I don’t have that much money to pay.
Please help. I would really appreciate that.

Re: Debt collectors?
 

How much since you've been suspended?
