With respect Catspj's, shouldn't the rules apply to ALL eBay sellers - including the corporate giants.  There should not be two sets of rules - as pointed out in donnashuggy's posts above.

 

I'm not saying OP didn't stuff up, but with all the other threads around at the moment about shill bidders/accounts reinstated - you know the ones I mean - it seems an over the top reaction to deal the death blow to someone with such a long time selling account, good FB, etc.

 

And after all, we are all only human - none of us are pefect - we should be able to make an error or two without having the lifebuoy thrown over without a rope.  But I guess we will read that in eBay's new policy guide - lifebouoys only, no rope!!!

Rules should apply to those who signed up for those rules. 

If other larger sellers have different terms not sure how the rules for the rest of us can apply to them. 

If you chose not to know or not to follow the rules then its an individual thing.

Like if I get busted for leaving feedback comments for non payers then I ain't going to come to the boards and lament. I know the rules, I know I skirt on the edge of them and I am prepared to wear the consequences to create a safer trading place. 

I don't agree with the DEFECTIVE defect system. I don't agree with lifetime bans for breaches of this kind. But I also don't agree with the principle that if one can get away with something everyone should be able to.
