Forum

lol, what should the forum be called Chris? The Lounge?

"Chill Spot" We all need to cool off(chill out) off Ebay every now and then. You feel me.

lounge or "place for you drunken *******s" lol

Thats basically what i was trying to get at..lol Saturday night special..

I feel you, I'm getting a bit buzzed my self now on some cheap Bacardi's. Find a good name, and I'll set it up. I'm leaning on.. something lounge

Maybe.. Midnight lounge

The man lounge!

lol... Eh.. Midnight Lounge going once..

player's lounge or midnight lounge. either one is good for me.


hey aspkin, i thought you didn't drink!

You got me drinking again.

hah!!!!

didn't take much did it!


wait a minute... i don't know if i should take that as a compliment or not

Just I felt like crap today.. and I couldn't find anything to wake me up and peppy... I wanted to get coffee.. but came home with Bacardi. It's working okay.

So, we have so far... player's lounge or midnight lounge

I like either one. Anyone else?

boy has this thread gone off topic huh?


ASPKIN you can make it like ebay and call it "everything else"

That'll do pig. That'll do.

'Everything Else', it is.

Yeah, "everything else" won't confuse the newbies. And since we're all refugees from ebay anyway...

But my vote was for "the verbose forum" ;)
either that or "The Asylum" 'cuz things might get crazy inside those walls. lol :D

You dont drink Aspkin?? Dude, thats self inflicted torture in the 3rd degree.

Look at my icon if you want to see a real man!

dude why i got to be a pig?

Pig or a Bean. Pig or a Bean. Hmm...Well the pig hasn't had work for a while, while Bean just finished a movie. But the pig is part of a balanced breakfast. :D

What's a mater with a Pig? I loved that movie when I was 11 years old.

at least it's a cute pig, though not as cute as the one in my avatar pic!

I leave you guys for a few days and come back to find this?

Yep the secret's out. Aspkin has a bacon fetish ;)

Oh you mean about the private forums? Yeah that too.

Bacon's Okay...

Lets take this to the 'Everything Else' Forum. TY

"you can talk about anything here just keep it clean"? why keep it clean? it's for everything else. change that to "a good spot for drunken ramblings" come on aspkin give the people what they want! we want a place to get down and dirty!

i can't believe you actually used my suggestion of everything else! cool! i do think there should be a "lounge" section where we don't have to keep it clean.

I found this forum thru google. Would the forum still be indexed by google if it were private?

Only the first post of every thread. After a certain period of time.

I think folks might speak more openly if the forum were private. But whose to say that ebay t/s doesn't have a half dozen accounts already. The info provided in the forum is invaluable. Lots of people are needed to discover different ebay or paypal quirks. New people equate new ideas. How many visitors sign up? How many members post? How many post regularly?

and what happened to tcho??

Fear of Posting Ideas Here...because EBAY may see them
 

Maybe I am just paranoid, but it seems to me if I were EBAY, this would be a favorite read for EBAY Security.

Like, I think I have figured out a way to keep them from linking Paypal now and I think that is directly related to how this site explained to use Paypal about a year or so ago.

If I am right, EBAY just had to make a small adjustment to take down all accounts on a Paypal account.

I am testing the new algorithm to see if it works. I intentionally broke the algorithm and that account was suspended almost immediately.

Anyway, it seems that publicly telling EBAY how you defeat their suspensions could help EBAY just as much as the people here.

Thoughts?

I think it could be a good watch out to.
Like now how they have introduced the compulsory paypal for UK members in late april...that will leave a lot of people screwed.

I expect sooner or later they will throw the idea of merchant accounts as well.

they must read this stuff
 

hey guys I know im new to this forum and i admit about 6 months ago I did a bit of lurking to get ideas on what to do if my account got suspended and back then as now, that was exactly what I was thinking. ebay must scan this sight for weak areas and then go to work on ways to patch the problems up. I recon you need to have a kind of invitation only erea where after youve sussed out the newbies you invite them in. Leave all the info or most of it where it is and let conversation circulate around what has already been spilled. But anything new that comes to light should be kept secret. It only works for ebay in the long run to have a wonderful resourse to come and read about all of their weak points. I dont know about charging as being the answear ether coss ebay wont care about paying a fee. All youll do is exclude the people your trying to help. Definatly a kind unspoken maybe even off site secret forum is the way i recon. Where the real stuff gets talked about.

How do you weed out the bad guys (eBay spies) from the good guys on this board?, for all we know eBay could already have their moles planted in here and passing themselves off as an expert.

You are right Lisa, that is why i have been here just reading only lately. I have been successful in reinstating quite a few of my old accounts lately and dont really want to openly tell how i have been doing it. Too much work involved in the event ebay is watching this forum. Also figured out a way to get multiple paypal verified accounts from simply 1 good bank account, but again, too much work to disclose it and then have paypal/ebay adjust. So i personally think a private forum is a good idea. My 2 cents....

private forum would be nice, but really waht would stop ebay security to spend 10$ a month and get all the secrets from us :( i dont think this could ever be done. even if it would be 100$ a month, ebay would still buy a subscription, what is it for them?

Very true. Ah well, looks like ebay will just have to keep up with us :D

yep no mater which way you look at it. By holding the hand out to help the bewildered and freshly excluded ebay user your also holding it out to the ones that would keep them and you excluded.
Ok all moles please take on the avitar of agent smith so we know who you are.
:) LOL

I agree. Both of these companies will have an expenses account and individual employees probably can use their own credit cards or paypal to pay for the membership of which they can reclaim back later on. £10, £100 or even £1000 is nothing in the fight to remain pathetic and absurd.

No matter what tricks or ideas for new policies they pick up from here they will always have their stupidity and the disastrous VERO system to cause us untold headaches.

Its heads or tails with CrapBay / PooPal not rules.

I think aspkin should check for IPs coming from ebay or its affiliating companies in the logs and deal with that.

Ebay & the Stealth book - is it dangerous to reveal this info publicly to EBAY?
 

I have to admit, when I was suspended, this form/website was really easy to find. Now, I read that Ebay is making more and more changes to their policy, it kind of concerns me that they know about this book. Do you think it's a good idea to have a step by step guide of what to do on this forum? Isn't that like showing the folks at ebay what we are doing?

I think the fact that people have to BUY the book is a good idea (less chance of Ebay knowing everything). But they might really crack down on varifying people with just the information in the step-by-step guide.
