MC___ suspension / restriction CODES / NOTICES- what do the EBAY CODES/NOTICES MEAN?

[M-NYC]

Anyone know what an MC169 Abuse Notice is??
The latest suspension notice from earlier today stated the following:
"MC169 NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay - (userid)

Dear userid (userid@domain.com),

We're sorry to tell you that your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay Community.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Any input would be appreciated.

betcha it happpens shortly after you add the email to your Paypal or you add an email in your existing Paypal to the EBAY listing.

If you have had any EBAY accounts suspended that ever used that Paypal account, you cannot reuse that Paypal account for EBAY or you get linked.

You need to create a brand new Paypal account and go through getting limited, etc. etc. all over again. Nice huh?

It seems that the niche for an EBAY competitor is swelling huge. They just keep forcing out more and more good people along with the few percentage bad they weed out.

I wanted to pay my fees. I wanted to be a good citizen. I complied with every request they made.

And they would have kicked ass on funds they pissed away.

Bzzzt. Not good enough.

[M-NYC]

Yup, looks like I'll have to start the whole process all over again. They limited my first paypal account for no reason other than what I guessed was their best opportunity to freeze the largest amount of cash in my account for 6 months. I think their reason was something like "recent activity requires additional verification information." After faxing them every form of ID known to man and all types of statements, they still did absolutely nothing and I wasted many hours on the phone with all sorts of paypal monkeys. When the next limitation came, needless to say I did not even bother trying to contact them at all and I simply waited patiently for 6 months for my cash to be released, or I refunded buyers directly and asked for payment by some other means - which cost me money because some did not trust me after paypal's unwarranted actions.

A while after that, ebay started cancelling my auctions because powerful competitors did not want me getting a piece of their pie and they knew how to use ebay to their advantage. One even sent me an e-mail laughing ("HAHAHAHAHAHA") when my ebay account was terminated and my paypal account was frozen. I had been selling desktop and laptop computers with LEGAL, LICENSED WINDOWS even while there were huge ebay sellers listing piece of crap computers with illegal windows xp pro and office xp pro installed to jack up the price - and they got away with it. Meanwhile my auctions were cancelled... go figure.

The resulting chain reaction was probably worse for them than for me. How can fees be paid when your money is held hostage for no reason? How do you even know for sure that it will ever be returned?

Hey There,

Just wondering if anyone got this before. My Account is already on a 30 day suspension for Feedback Manipulation which I did not commit, and now about 15 days later I got this notice.

Does that mean PayPal and eBay are gone, or just PayPal hates me right now?

Trust & Safety Phone support wasn't really sure.

From: eBay Customer Support Expires: Jun-03-08


Dear xxxxxxxx,

As part of our commitment to offering a safe transaction network for all
of our valued members, we regularly screen account activity. During one
of these screenings, we reviewed your account and determined that the
activity associated to your eBay or PayPal accounts poses an inherent
risk to the overall security of our network. Unfortunately, due to this
risk, we have determined that we are no longer able to offer the use of
our services to you.

Although you are no longer able to utilize PayPal services, you may
still log into your PayPal account to review the information associated
to your use of our services for a limited time.

In accordance with PayPal’s User Agreement, the balance of your PayPal
account will be held for 180 days to protect PayPal against the risk of
reversal stemming from buyer claims, chargebacks, or other reversal
rights that may have been assigned to a consumer outside of PayPal and
eBay’s policies. After the180-day period has passed, any remaining
funds will be available to you for withdrawal, less any additional
amounts owed to PayPal or eBay.

Additionally, eBay will charge any amounts you have not previously
disputed to the billing method currently on file and you will be
credited for any listings that were ended.

While we regret having to make this decision, please understand that the
decision was based on criteria set forth in the User Agreements for both
PayPal and eBay. You can view our User Agreements in their entirety by
using links located at the footer of each of our websites.

Please do not reply to this email, as this mailbox is not monitored and
you will not receive a response. If you seek further clarification
regarding your account access, please contact PayPal by visiting the

We thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation with this matter.

MC071 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension
We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended due to concerns we have for the safety of the eBay community.

You may appeal the suspension by replying to this email.

Why have we suspended your account?

From experience we know that certain items and actions are more associated with fraudulent activity on eBay than others. As a precaution, we suspend an account if it gives us cause for concern. We then ask for more information from the member before we reinstate the account.

Please understand we're not accusing you of fraudulent behaviour. Our top priority is to ensure that eBay remains a safe and reputable place to buy and sell, so we'd just like to confirm some of the information you've given us.

An account suspension in these circumstances is covered under the eBay User Agreement, which you can read by copying this link into a new browser window:

Your User Agreement

During your suspension you are prohibited from using eBay in any way, including registering new accounts. Doing so may result in your permanent suspension. We have ended your open listings.

Please be advised that this suspension does not relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees that you may owe to eBay.

Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.


Regards,

eBay Trust & Safety
