Ebay seller account suspended in 2007 for non payment

[ringer69]

Hi guys,

Ive been searching and searching for the last few days and have now found what I was looking for.
I have found a stealth Ebay selling account that I created in 2006.
It was suspended in 2007 for unpaid fees of £99. There are no other policy issues with it other than unpaid fees.

Question is, do any of you have any experience of paying off long term fees and having the account automatically reinstated?
I have had an account that was suspended for a year reinstated automatically once payment was made, but 6 years seems a long time?

All similar experiences would be appreciated.

Had it been a real account I would have called e/b and sounded them out to see if there was a chance of reinstatement, however as we all know e/b reps have been known to be frugal with the truth in similar instances just to get your cash and then tell you thanks but no go.

My gut feeling with it being a stealth account would be to leave well alone.

Had a shorter time frame. was under 3 years. They accepted the over-due fees. Was not a large amount. Account was active again. Then got zapped within 6 weeks for their revenge.

Had one account 11 months out from overdue fees suspension. Paid & was restored. This one is working still. 3 year account was stealth. 11 month account has real info

Thanks GreenBean and Noneother.
If this was a real account it would be well worth fighting for - not sure if its worth the risk for £100.
Think I'll have to see how much money I blow over Christmas first to see if I can risk loosing the money!
