Patrick Sutton
 

I got an email today from Patrick Sutton, acquisition mgr for ebay, stating they wanted me back. Does anyone know what is up with that? This is my original ebay that I got banned 4 years ago for selling NFL Flags (which by the way I bought on ebay lol)

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I've heard of some sellers getting these on past suspended accounts.

What was the original suspention? Was it a MC011 restriction?

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

You got a 50/50 chance.....give them money and see what happens.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I was suspended for selling NFL Flags that I bought on Ebay, Bought two for my favorite teams and the quality was excellent so I contacted the overseas supplier and started selling.

Mass marketing campaign OP - meh worth a shot if you have time

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Well I have a phone interview with him at 11am today, will update everyone.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

If I were you I'd ask him out for coffee and see what he says. Let's see how much he really wants you back.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Well it is a VERY professional scam, I had an 11am cc set up for this morning and he never called so I thought maybe I did something wrong and so I logged back onto the email and set another for 3:45 CST today. Another no call, so the guy has my phone number, don't know what he can do with that. Will have to stick to my 5 stealth accounts.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

So I get another email from this guy saying "if you have been restricted" I can help you get that removed? So what is his scam, he is not asking for any personal info or having me download anything? What the heck.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

The email address, genuine eBay domain?

does it says "@ebay.com"

Is your email provider marking this as a genuine email from that domain, i.e. not being spoofed?

If so, it would be genuinely from ebay.

Seems like you're wasting time and energy on this

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Nope just keeping everyone in the loop so they will not have their hopes dashed by this Idiot Pat Sutton

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

After getting banned yesterday on my 16 year old account customer services told me they periodically review suspended accounts and if they want you back they will email you. That's not to say you shouldn't give it a try after a year anyway.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I do not know if the emails you are getting are actually from him, but I will say the he DID replace the guy that I reached out to to get my original account re-instated.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Do you owe fees?

Is the original paypal still good?

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I had an email a few months back on a 2016 LLC account I closed. He offered to remove all defects, wipe out a 6K balance if I expected similar sales volume and offer the same service.

Whoever runs that department has terrible response time. It may or may not be a waste of your time BUT if they want you back, just make a new real account....

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Did you ever reach out to the contact I gave you? He may have already moved on by then...

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I did not but when I was able to reopen that account to get my $365 credit they owned me, they blocked the account and made me open a new one LOL Yea...they stole my $365 :mad2: I buy on the new/old acccount the same as I did the old account but I lost my 25,000 feedback. I will never sell on it.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Basturds!!!

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Yeah, I've been getting this email too, over and over again, assumed it was a scam, interested to hear if it pans out.

Account was fine but the PP was fried.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

old accounts sometimes even get reinstated without you knowing.

eBay is needing more sellers to come back

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Nope this guy has now sent me three emails but does not call at the appointed time nor responds to emails.
