 What can happen if you sign on from different email
I was on my business email account doing some work (ebay account has my personal email) and decided to check out some phones on ebay. I only have one account, so I correctly entered my info and went shopping like I have done almost since ebay started. I was almost ready to buy a phone, after much research. I narrowed it down and sent some questions to the final candidates. I have signed onto my account from at least two other email accounts (from work) many times with no problem, but not this time.
Ebay actually thought I was a scammer, shut down my account, told all of the sellers I was a scammer and ruined my whole deal. They sent me an email saying someone had tried to scam me, so I immediately changed my account info. Then it hit me..... it was just me on a different email address. (Same IP)
Ebay reinstated my account that evening with no apology once I told them what happened (and they checked it out), but they had created a problem. All I wanted was a note from them to the sellers saying I was not a scammer, they refused. (Well, worse, they said they would do so and never did. I checked.) I still bought my phone on ebay, just had to wait a few days for new sellers.
I was pissed...but I had a drink and got over it. Thank goodness for alcohol, it keeps me off Prozac.
