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.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

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.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Maybe he's just super busy. This doesn't make sense as a scam or as a legit eBay email. Ask him to call you, maybe..

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

All the emails had been long onto his calendar and put in the time for him to call my cell phone, neither time did he call.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

well, try again.

Usually thought they just reinstate the account without you even knowing.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Nope I logged on and it is still limited, it was my original in my real name. So would be ool to get it back even though I lost the paypal, if it got reinstated I would call paypal and tell them I was unlimited and see what they say

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

I can tell you it is NOT a scam. Got same email from Patrick about 2 weeks ago, I scheduled a time on his calendar and he called right on time. We had a 15min convo and he let me know I stand a good chance of getting acct reinstated. Hasn't fully happened yet, as there are a few steps in the process. But I can post back on here to update. So OP I would stay persistent

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

"We don't give a phuck, bye now!" :rant:

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Well I scheduled with him tomorrow at 10am, this is the third time I will have scheduled.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Thats a nice resume...

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Just keep up updated on that schedule.

Hope you get it back though. If not, I'd say just move on.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Any updates?

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Yeah he stood me up for the 3rd time today, was suppose to call me at 10am CST, I checked to make sure I put in correct phone number and I did.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

wtf lol..............

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Message him on linkedin asking why he keeps standing you up.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

That's weird, OP. He called me right on time the first time, and even followed up later via email. And to boot - apparently there are 2 ppl at eBay who do this, and the other person also emailed me to set up a time to call. Since the process isn't completed with Patrick, figured I might as well talk w the other guy also. Guess they don't cross reference. And they probably see how high my sales were and miss that 10%. Anyway, we're scheduled for Thurs morning. I'll update on here about what happens w either.

And for anyone wondering - if you get these emails, they are legit. I wasn't quick to respond to or take them serious initially. I definitely did some digging and confirmed they are legit. Coming from real EB email Addy's.

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Well I just got an email from him stating he "was in a conference" and could we reschedule"

Re: Patrick Sutton
 

Sounds like a girl who isn't interested in dating you.
