Default 4 year old 8000 feedback ebay account, VIP thoughts please

hey again

just randaomly called ebay about my suspended/straight/mine/correct info account that i left behind when i discovered stealth.

ebay say they only suspended because of paypal and there was "no problem reinstating the ebay acct when paypal was sorted, i then call paypal playing dumb and asking why why why.

they said 1 outstanding case that needed refunding but they couldnt because there was no "reimbusrment method on file" at the time

paypal unlocked my account (i couldnt even log in) said add a bank account add funds to refund the buyer (£120) and they would reinstate

question is do i risk throwing £120 (not a small amount of cash to me) away for something thats not likely to get sorted anyway ? when they have their cash they can just say sorry but no


Your wise thoughts would be most appreciated

thank you

Only you can make that decision - if it was me and I felt comfortable with it I would probably take a flyer and go for it - but it may go wrong and you may lose your £120 - too many unknown factors to give you specific advise

No don't tell me the unknowns - it's all about what you sell and how you have conducted yourself

If you are confident that you can make this fly then go for it - otherwise walk away and go and have a coffee

£120 is not alot to save an account like that, but they have been known to say sayonara afterwards. If you are selling vero, digital or some other risk factor, they are more likely to do so....

Proviso I would add is to have all this in writing.

Sounds great.

It also sounds 'a he says, they say story.'

Trust radar not high with me

those can be classed as risky, as they can be copied. Not sure how high they rank risk-wise for them though.....

On a similar vein, I got a notice from an account I had way back in 2003. I created a separate (and apparently stealth) account to buy a truck from a guy whop had some really bad feedback - but a a truck I wanted, lol.

Anyway, the truck, surprise, was not as described, he left me bad feedback (2, somehow) and I forgot about the account.

It's still active. How should I revive this??
What's the best plan of action?

If still alive, go slow on it - like any new account.

how can you be strap for cash with an account like that...

Do it with a credit card just in case.. but for an account like that that is worth 1000s I would surely spend the 120 quid to see what happens.
