reading between the lines and I am probably totally wrong.

I think Sandra along the way twigged to a scam but only after she had spent plenty of valuable time looking for the

"sale' and then (maybe) rang back ebay on the number the "ebay support member' supplied (in the phonecall) ie

rang me back on this number "direct"

But when 'head office' answered but wasnt forthcoming with even a buyer user ID Sandra decided it was a scam and

refused to give her address.....

I think she is fed up and this elaborate new scam that half sucked in an experienced member was the last straw. So she

closed up a month early and will concentrate on her own website where she is more in control with one less worry

ie ebay scammers or scams that relate to an ebay account.

I wish you well Sandra and a zillion sales wherever you may be selling.
