Warner Bros is cracking down on ioffer....just had my account SUSPENDED for selling two DVD titles that Warner apparently owns (although I didn't realize it as they were from a studio that went out of business decades ago--I really thought they were public domain)...just a heads-up...no warning, no email, I just logged in to respond to an offer, and THAT was where I saw the takedown messages in my ioffer inbox. 12 hours later, my items slowly started to disappear, and the next time I logged in, I was immediately asked to pay my remaining fees before I could 'proceed'...once I paid my outstanding fees, a screen popped up telling me I was suspended....
By the way, since IPs are often dynamic (meaning they change every time you turn off/on your modem, for example), ebay doesn't use them (exclusively, anyway) for suspensions/linking to suspended accounts. They use COOKIES that are delivered to your computer, via ebay emails or by you logging in to your suspended account. If your account at ebay gets suspended, DON'T open any ebay emails that are sent to the email address you registered with, DON'T log in to your suspended account, or if you do, clear out your cookies before and after logging into your suspended account before logging in to any active accounts.
If you want to know if your IP address changes when you turn on/off your modem, do a search on IP check and find a site that will report you IP address to you....turn off your modem for a minute or so, then back on, and go to the same site and check it again.
