well thank you very much, guys!
its fair to say that you may have prevented my hard-earned accnt from being suspended.
as i have said to one or two people who have PMd me about this, i shouldnt do, but in all honesty, i rely on this ONE accnt to put a bit of bread on my table...if it were to close, well, lets just say life would become a touch difficult to say the least, as i havent been able to find my line of work for over 4 yrs now.
i may have mentioned this before on here, but i was at one time, a powerseller on EB, making in excess of £30k a year, but for some unknown reason, one or two traders decided to make an example of me and my business by buying from me, then lamblasting me for no reason, even though my goods were impeccable...!
one of them, based in Australia, even threatened to "get my guys onto you to make sure your business goes down...and stays down where its supposed to be".....
of course, in due course they did the deed by making numerous complaints to EB and one fine day, in the week before Xmas, i got closed down....bang went my plans for my family etc and needless to say i had a miserable Xmas due to those people, whoever they were.
at that time, i never knew anything about how EB worked, stealth etc or whether there were idiots out there whose sole aim is to derail innocent people making a bit of bread for their families....in fact, to tell the truth, i opened up several EB and PP accnts after my suspension and all of them got closed down within days....and i never knew why!
at that time i was still working, but come the new year, i was dealt a double-whammy....i was kicked out of work too....as they say....trouble comes in threes!
anyway, that was a while ago, but thanks to all you very, very helpful guys here...i read as much as i reasonably could about stealth etc etc, even buying the book....at that time, i even had my suspicions about aspkin.com....i became so paranoid, that i was thinking maybe aspkin.com was somehow set up by EB or PP to spy on people who are using stealth methods etc!....but very gradually and carefully i dipped my toe back into EB and PP....touchwood im still there....
i dont blame EB or PP....as they say, if you want to play the game, you need to know of ALL the rules....!
thanks very much guys...and i'll put my violin away for now....
