Ebay not using the "no longer registered" stamp of death...?
 

Well, they will always use it I guess, but it seems they are being slow about it in my case, and I cant figure out why........

I've had some accounts mess up recently, (overseas seller claims that he didnt get the expensive (and EXTREMELY rare) items, though parts of them are mysteriously for sale soon after in his country) and rather than fight it when I got no help from Ebay (except the overseas script-readers who pretend that they can do whatever is nessesary) I just cut my losses and abandoned the account. When I say "accounts", I had a few but they were all linked to this one.

Anyway, here we are months later, and since the Ebay fees weren't paid, I thought they would eventually suspend the account, but its still NOT "no longer registered" which disappoints me, since I use that same name on a machinist board, and and dont want to be linked by google searches to an account bit a bunch of negative feedbacks. I was hoping the user ID would be "no longer registered" before people could leave the negatives that they left over 25 cent feedback boosters I sprinkled in between my auctions.

But the OTHER accounts, the ones that I didnt do anything wrong with directly (no fees were due, no unpaid items, etc...) WERE no-longer-registered!!

Any legal or other reason Ebay would delay or hesitate to fully suspend my original account with fees due? My bidding and selling activity is restricted, but I only know this by TRYING to list or buy. I can log in and move about my account as normal, but it's been 4 months with past due fees, a BUNCH of unpaid items, and 2 seller-comlaints that were closed automatically when I stopped responding.

Any idea or speculation why they wouldn't technically fully suspend my account?

Well usually as soon as you are slapped with NARU label all you buyers will file claims. Even the ones that received their items, because in the past as soon as you a NARU'ed ebay finds in their favor immediately and they get their money back.

who knows why there is a delay until it shows as NARU but actually the account IS NARU and you cannot leave anymore negs once that happens. Depends, but if you cannot use your acc, you are NARU, it may mean they cannot leave negs for you.....
