 Some good news and hope for everyone!
Hello,
I thought i would share some cracking news and some news which might give a bit of hope for everyone. I am back on Ebay with my original account!
I will give you a bit of background, my friend used an account which was in a way related to me, this was back in 2001. He used it for 3 or 4 years then messed it up and left it with my name as the holder. I never had an Ebay account after that and used my dads for a short while if i ever needed to buy anything. In January I lost my shop business and had to get a job. The only thing for extra money i could think of doing so that me, my wife and my 3 kids would not lose our home was to sell on Ebay so i set up an account. 2 months later it was suspended until i proved who i was. I did this and was allowed back on, problem over!! 1 month later i was banned and was told they had now linked me to the old account and after numerous emails it was clear i was not being let back on. This was a nightmare as my wages alone wouldnt cover my outgoings and Ebay was keeping us afloat.
I found this website and sorted another account thanks to all the cracking help on here!! It helped me build the business back up and i can now take the kids out again at the weekend as well as have a couple of beers myself!!
My business was going from strength to strength but then i recieved an email through my old account saying it had been reinstated! It was a false alarm, it hadnt. But it did mean a couple more emails were sent to and from Ebay. Eventually one of the emails said i understand your frustration and want to help you sort this out (yes thats right, someone wanting to help!!) he advised me to write a letter to them or speak to them on the phone. My reply was who do i write to and what is the phone number?? When i went to check my emails again i had been fully reinstated!!! I couldnt believe it. My account is now fully active after they originally told me not a chance.
There is some hope, i know this wont happen to everyone and i still have my stealth account going well for the past 3 months so i have to be careful, but i just thought i would share the happy news since i have worried and spent many a night sat reading through these discussions! Like a lot of you good people!
Even though i think this forum is the dogs bollocks and the information has helped me no end and will continue to help people i hope i never have to speak to any of you again!!! And i mean that in the nicest possible way. If i ever get a problem i know were to turn and to be honest i will probably come on here anyway, there is always something new to learn and be aware of. I just thought i would share the news and give some hope to people on here to keep fighting!
Many thanks,
Jenko
