Interesting browse though through the G G dyson vac cleaners as theres a item there thats $445 on eBay  and without going into the store itself its $375 over the phone...I nearly took advantage of the 15% WITHOUT THINKING ..( as thats what I do , as you know )

you are not alone

 

I have 2 Top seller IDs and they have been "restricted" - ALL ACTIVE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED WITHOUT NOTICE. Downgraded from TRS to below standard and all items removed in 2 weeks.

 

I ran the business for 3 years and rent a warehouse. now with nothing to sell only bills to pay. I am in serious trouble. 

 

eBay support staff advised the only thing I can do is to  "Keep improving my service". - How is that even possible when the items are at the bottom of the search result. 

 

I have 0 negative feedback  the only mistake i made is "being nice" to my buyers and choose "out of stock" for all cancel transactions (mostly the buyer chose the wrong colour). didn't realize under the new policy it counts as defect. it had been fine for 3 years. 

 

Basically eBay  (a seller who pays $1500+ seller fees every month) threw me to the wall for not knowing their new policy.

 

A lesson for all sellers > never rely on ebay as the only income source. I will not be able to pay my mortgage next month.

 

Have to figure out a way to clear all my stock and go back to day jobs.

lol I quite enjoy having my errors pointed out by Lyndal, I think she gets a kick out of it too Cat Tongue

 

 

 

I don't get any joy out of pointing out incorrect information that is posted on the boards but at least I give the correct information and don't hit the Report button as some responders do.

Oh dear, not another one. Is your restriction temporary or permanent? This is really getting ridiculous now.

Hi all,

I am back after being banned from these forums for 24 hours. Well at least the mods have some sense in terms of a punishment that fits the crime. It's a shame that ebay don't.

I have seen the petition has risen to about 45. No where near the numbers needs for it to make a difference.

I have also noticed other sellers posting details about their experiences. Well done, keep the info coming... For anyone that has been permanently banned, please pm me.

Regards

John

Nice to see you back. I didn't realise you'd been put on detention. It's not nice seeing that big, pink message, but at the same time, it's good to see them doing their job. That 24 hours seems to take forever when you want to try and catch up with everything!!
