Ebay corrupt to the core

comcol — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 02:30:53 GMT

Ebay logic 101:

Despite being rated a top seller for 16 years, having zero negatives etc etc they decide to ban you from selling with LITERALLY no reason and only sending a computer-generated, and I quote: "your behavior posed a risk to the eBay community" and "We have taken this action out of concern for the safety and integrity of the eBay Community"

Exactly what risk would that be??? Maybe because I am not one of their protected Asian sellers? Seems to me Ebay is rather racist in their unequal treatment of sellers with some things that have been said on the phone by their 'customer service reps'.

After dozens of calls etc, speaking to at least 2 supposed supervisors who said there is nothing wrong with my account I still don't get an answer as to why. In fact, one supervisor looked at what occurred and said it is completely wrong and dishonest.

Clearly an individual within Ebay is targetting my account when there is a deliberate and systematic assault on my business.

Strange that I have a large amount of evidence over the years of Ebay allowing sellers to use multiple false accounts to steal tens of thousands of dollars from buyers whilst they knowingly refused to remove those said accounts. Apparently, they 'don't pose a risk to the Ebay Community' but I do despite a 100% record.

People need to take a serious stand and take legal action, go to the ACCC, and anti-discrimination board and complain. Ebay is registered as an Australian business and as such are subject to our laws. I will be.

I imagine you have had a lot of defects, maybe for unresolved cases.

I haven't had that problem, so I won't be taking legal action. Please come back asnd tell us how you went.

I don't care that you claim I am an ebay mole, god only knows what claims you have made against actual ebay staff. I would though suggest, that for one who is considering taking legal action against ebay, that it might be prudent to think carefully before posting defamatory comments on a public forum.

Your listings could be flagged as the sort listed by scammers using hijacked accounts as that's the sort of Email

they send to a hijacked account so maybe someone has reported the account as such.

If that's the case then it would've been Trust & Safety that shut down the account and they haven't investigated

fully as you listings should never have been flagged as such (scammers would've listed them at a much lower

price as well and the account doesn't look suspicious).

It would also make it more difficult for others to see exactly what's happened.

You would need to find out the exact reason why the action was taken to get it re-instated and it generally

involves proven it's you that owns the account and always has been (good luck with it).

Where did you outsmart anyone, pray tell?

No member of these forums uses profanity, thank you.

Members of the forum have dealt with the OP before, you haven't.

A well reasoned argument that supports your point. Unflattering.

I won't bother responding to trolls who literally attack everyone on these boards that says anything against Ebay.
I post ONLY 100% FACTS unlike the trolls with their rants.

For the real users on the thread:

I have zero defects or unresolved cases.

Within 12 hours of me contacting their lawyers in Sydney stating I intend to take legal action they have now walked back the 'hacked claim' they originally made.

They have also walked back the returns claim and open cases claim they made on other occasions.

Which left them with....nothing.

So, now they literally say they don't know why my account is restricted and can't get an answer.

Clearly it was a deliberate attack and now they are saying they will re-instate my account. We will see if they do.

If not, I have more than enough evidence of their business practices to follow through with.

Ebay is not above the law.

Hopefully you will get reinstated but I doubt it.

And you haven't earned any points with those members that you have said are trolls so you will find that from now on

you won't get any response from any knowledgeable members that you might think are trolls.

I'm responding and you may think I'm a troll but I'm not knowledgeable so that's why I'm posting haha.

I was in the same situation as you many years ago and every thing I tried didn't work and it never will.

But I have moved on in other ways and things are going great.

All the best in resolving your issue.

Will see what happens with the account but I'm fully prepared to take the matter to the appropriate organisations as I have sound evidence of racial discrimination and business practices. Always record everything I say.:)

There are no knowledgeable trolls on here by the way. They never provide any serious feedback, just abuse and insults. It's only a couple anyway.

I won’t comment on your issues with eBay, you seem to have them under control and I have nothing to offer in that regard.

What I will address is your claims about “trolls”. You have spoken in generalisations about there being trolls, even on this thread, now you say it is only a couple. The issue I have is that in speaking in generalisations you tarnish all those who post here because you give no clear indication who you do not consider to be a troll. We know you can’t name those who you feel are trolls as that is against board policy.

I say, take issue with the replies you get BUT don’t make generalisations. Many of the posters on this thread, even those you take issue with, have helped countless members when they have come here seeking help and your generalisations in regards to the presence of trolls cast dispersions upon the efforts of all those that have replied.

Congrats Comcol........ If it eventuates.

I'm a bit afraid to poke my head in here on this thread.

I can't offer any solutions with ebay but I did have a quick look at comcol's account details.

I am puzzled too as to why he has been banned from selling. With a score of 4469 and a long history on ebay and as an aussie seller with nothing but positive feedback, I have to say that as an ordinary, everyday sort of buyer, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy from a seller like this. Quite a few of the feedback comments mention quick delivery, everyone seems happy enough.

I can't see into the ebay records or behind the scenes stuff, but if there is some issue, wouldn't ebay be better off letting the seller know exactly what the problem is and giving them time to rectify it? It seems a bit draconian to just ban someone without a word as to why.

Springy unfortunately this is the way ebay deal with sellers when they ban them.

There is no explanation from ebay why a seller is banned just that they're banned and only a seller that has been banned would know that ebay don't explain things.

A seller can be an excellent seller like OP looks like they have been and still get banned,that's the puzzling thing the seller doesn't get any explanation as to why?

I went through the same thing as OP,I had 100% positive feedback,no defects,no problems and then came the ban.

I kept on asking why and how but got no response from ebay.

Once you're banned it's forever.

The only thing that comes to mind is that OP has mentioned that they have something that may incriminate ebay and perhaps this has caused the ban? Who knows!

It was not me who commenced any comments about trolls on this thread.

I do muse at those coming into a thread to rant on about a subject that has nothing to do with the matter and then make accusations.

Think that shows who the trolls are.

Re: Ebay corrupt to the core

comcol — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 09:47:07 GMT

Ebay only found out about the incriminating evidence on them I now have after the restriction so it wasn't that.

It's very clear with me that a specific individual within Ebay is behind the attack. That is part of the evidence I have.

I do have numerous records of Ebay staff/supervisors stating the accusations on my account (which were all removed) were false.

One particular supervisor really put his foot in his mouth though which is what I am going to use legally.

People have to stand up to Ebay for the sake of everyone

That's interesting. The first mention of trolls on this thread was made by comcol. Is there more than one of you?
