Just called them one last time.

I advised them of these shill bidders and what they continue to do and are allowed to do it yet they shut my account down for some cancelled transactions. To my suprise, the response was, give us the user names and we will send it to our investigations team. I asked if i will be notified of the outcome, they said no due to privacy laws.

I asked them where these emails i sent more than 48 hours ago go. They advised it was the investigations team in the Philipines. Again, liaising with robots.

I sent this email to ebay just now and will be the last one i send.

Dear ebay,
I sent an email to you regarding my account being suspended more than 48 hours ago and still I have had no response.
My accounts was suspended due to a few measley transactions being cancelled and yet you allow dishonesty users who continuously open shell accounts and defraud honest people.
I am hugely disappointed with the way I have been treated by ebay and it's employees (the robots).
The only positive about ebay are the honest sellers who have made the company what it is today.
Ebay should send someone to their message boards to see what buyers and sellers really think about ebay and the way the handle things.
The post I created on Thursday is the most talked about topic and has put all honest sellers on red alert as to what can happen to them. I have the backing of all of these people who contribute to the ebay community and all have agreed that what I did with cancelling transactions due to not have stock was not right, but it certainly did not warrant have the selling account suspended.
I know this message will go no where as I have sent 2 previous ones and yet to have a reply. I just assume that someone reads them and disregards it.
Regards
John

If you are in a niche, ban all of your competitors. This one is something you should have been doing for awhile.

I did this when I started selling. 

I did not want competitors buying up if I had underpriced

and customers being overcharged by them.

• Under-describe your used items. List every noticeable defect and explain that there maybe other small signs of wear as well. Take clear photos, etc. People who are pleasantly surprised with the quality are more willing to forgive any other possible problem, as well are more likely to buy from you again.

I also send one that is in better condition so there are no complaints

and I have a repeat customers

All in all. very good advice

Good luck John,

Look on the bright side, for now at least, as I said previously - hopefully No News is Good News and they are still considering your case and hopefully re-instatement !

Have started a new thread on this Board,  the Powersellers Board and also the Buyers Board to hopefully raise more awareness and get the numbers up on the petition.  We need as many as possible spreading the word.
