I just got MC999. It said please to click that this link in the mail eB sent me. When clicking on it it takes you to big ass red message titled Attention! then it has a part where it says make sure you respond to our email within 72 hours.
The thing is i didn't get any other email. So I called them and the guy on the phone told me that the message was suppose to say call eB. I tell him what is wrong with my account. He does through the usual what are you sellin (nothing branded), where do you getting, are you a new seller, do you have any other accounts. I calmly answer all the questions and he tells me that the account is good.
Normal stuff. The interesting part s next. After unlocking my account he asks me if I'm planning on selling anything in future.
me: what do you mean?
eB: Well i personally sell ipads on eB
me: I'm not planning on selling ipads
eB: Oh I was just gonna give you some tips in case you want to sale in future.
me: (thinking to myself WTF, but then I get intrigued) I was thinking of selling my old laptop when I geta new one.
eB: great, it shows me that your selling limit is only 1k and you probably want to increase it.
me: sure I'd love to!
eB: do you have an ID?
me: sure I do.
eB: please fax me a copy and I will increase those limits for you
After that I politely decline and end the call.
Now 2 things:
1. Are they really aloud to sell on eB???
2. it really looks like eB trains it's reps to fish for ID! |
