New trick ebay does to make you pay your fees

[Help]

I got an email from ebay saying my account was overdue.
i called them and told me if i paid my fees, i would get reinstated again.
i was suspended in july for a different reason.
anyways, i payed them. still not reinstated
i called them and have been on hold for about an hour as of now
this is a trick they are now doing.
not nice
i talked to a girl and she said when i pay my fees i would get reinstated.
very messed up.

Yeah they've been doing this for as long as I can remember. It's not right and a lot of people fall for it. :(

yea if u dont pay your fees, they will shut up down, simple as that. Also if your fees get to high, like around $200, they won't let you list anymore until you pay down the balance. They hit me with that once too.

you need to update automatic payment method

They've been doing that type of thing for as long as I can remember. They sometimes re-instate people, but hours later will suspend for some other reason, just to justify what they were already going to do. Slimy, in my book.

Sometimes they don't even re-instate. They just jerk you around for a while and let you wear yourself down. They expect you to give up.

Best advice for anyone else that bumps into the same scenario: Don't believe the hype. Pay up if that was already your plan. If it wasn't your plan, don't fall for the gimmick.

Funny... I just got a email invoice from ebay from my Suspended account that says I don't owe anything and I have $0.00 balance. The thing is that I owed them like $7.00 when they suspended over a year ago. I guess they gave up the battle and just Zero out my balance since it was so small.
