MC197 four months after account died??
 

Confused at this one! My account got suspended indefinitely over 4 months ago, not been near it since and got a message off eBay today saying I've not paid my fees and that it's suspended and if i do not pay them it could result in my account being permanently suspended, and if i pay the fees then as soon as I've paid them i can buy and sell again straight away??

I'm going to pay the fees cos i owe them but what's this email about? they just playing with me to get me to pay or have they gone soft and letting me have my account back?

Here's email

Its is just an automated email that is sent out that does not take into account the fact that the account is already suspended.
