I think its far better to keep the new "about me page" I have just updated it, with a link to my eBid shop lets see how long it stays before eBay close me down!!!!!!

It may be that one of your competitors has been reading your posts on here on how you are going to be winding your ebay account down and using it to turn your customers to ebid/your own website?

Just a theory but anythings possible?

Yes anything is possible! Its a shame, but this evening I took 2 major orders on the website from customers that found me via google and also started to work with a new trader, where I will be drop shipping my items for him.

So I may have lost eBay (Well my main account ) but I have gained new business, and also set out on a new avenue that will hopefully help to expand my sales - long term.

Why don't you ring the powerseller hotline to found out the reason behind it. Something similar once happened to me and they were quite helpful. How many ebay 'item not received' or 'item not as described' disputes have you got that haven't been resolved?

I will give you a really important tip too, remove all your money from your paypal account now. When this happened to me, 7 days later my paypal account was frozen and I was told i wouldn't be able to withdraw my money for 180 days. They apparently do this automatically when an ebay account has been suspended, so if anyone opens a dispute they can get there money back. I had £10K in mine when it happened!! Apparently they are allowed to do it, it's in the user agreement.

So one one hand they tell me to speak to my customers and work out any problems - then on the other hand they make sure I can't do this!

the exact same thing happened to me.... on 5p listing day? AND.... LAST 5p listing day?? odd?

yeah. my paypal is frozen too. which is handy.


*and paypal have decided that my last few received payments were 'unauthorised' (what all of them?) even though ive contacted the buyers whove said it was fine. and theyve frozen all of them so my paypal balance is now - a few hundred quid and i cant receive payments. great.
