selling limit - fraud and false advertising by ebay

Since ebay introduced their offer of 30 free listings per month I have been using it; yesterday (3.1.2013) I wanted to upload twenty items with turbolister; only ten were uploaded, for the rest it said that I had exceeded my monthly limit; never heard of this before !!! Checking on ebay etc I could not find anything execpt general information; following ebay's instructions in these to find my limits ( all selling -> account limits or on the sellerdashboard) there were no links or information re my limits to be found anywhere. Complete blank. At the bottom of my 'all selling' page there is a reference to the 30 free lsitings, simply stating "used 10, left 20". Even trying to relist an unsold item results in the same message re account limit displayed. I phoned ebay this morning, just to be told some general bla bla about them updating and reviewing, which really meant nothing to me. received an email later saying " ...the current limits will not be eligible for appeal until after 30-Jan-13. You are welcome to write back on 30-Jan-13 for another review. This should provide enough time for some recent sales to be delivered and feedback received. At that time, we'd be happy to review your account and, if possible, adjust your selling limit to allow additional activity to take place. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue to build a positive selling history on eBay and to follow all selling policies. You can also monitor your performance in your seller dashboard to ensure that you are maintaining your excellent service to buyers, and keeping your account in good standing."


Ebay is advertising and promoting its first 30 listings per month FREE OF FEES ! So what happened to that  ???? I can list only ten items, let alone get to the 31st item to pay the listing fee for !!!! THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING  ! ebay just turns around and says "no"; I actually have to contact ebay on 30. January to appeal and get at least the limit of the first 30 listings free! WHAT KIND OF CON IS EBAY RUNNING HERE ????

Well Super Nova...


the PayPal > Bank transfers of thousands of Australian sellers simply 'vanished' and took 2 weeks to eventually land.


It took PayPal a week to even admit there was a problem.


The internet was rather quiet about this terrible event.


Whoever believes that the interent is not controlled has never tried to find out the name of Reg Grundy's first wife and daughter.


 


I never have any problem accepting PayPal. I simply refund then demand payment via bank transfer with the veiled threat of negging the buyer. Works for me.

Thanks for the various replies; however:


. . . .


c) There are tens of thousands people who have a gmail, hotmail, etc address with their proper paypal accounts; so anyone could hijack these as well and open an account. I do not know how much that is really possible.


 



 


I wasn't referring to hijacking a hotmail or gmail account, I was talking about opening an account.


 


Let me put it this way, if I bought a banknote from you and hit "Pay now" and chose PayPal as my payment method I would go through the steps for paying with PayPal.  Let's say you set up a false email/PayPal account in the name of ihatepp@hotmail.com and I sent the funds to that account.  It would then show in my PayPal as unclaimed, so I go to hotmail and register the address/ID of "ihatepp" at hotmail.  Then I register that email address with PayPal so that IT becomes a valid PayPal address.


 


Still no hyjacking or illegal activity on my part.  Then, any PayPal payment for any of your items that you think are going to a false/non-existent PayPal account ACTUALLY goes to a PayPal account CONTROLLED by me.  No guesswork of valid PayPal account names, no hyjacking, and you have little or no recourse - thanks for the funds pal.

Let's say you set up a false email/PayPal account in the name of ihatepp@hotmail.com and I sent the funds to that account. 



 


should have been "Let's say you nominate a false/non-existent email/PayPal account address of ihate . . . . "

Goodness, the OP might sell a lot of stamps and banknotes tonight after that lesson on how to obtain funds legally through Paypal from the OP's sales.
