I was suspended from ebay for atleast 7 days, possiable forever for shill bidding (spelling?).
someone on my work office wanted to buy something i was selling, so he put a bid in like i told him to, i figured it was only fair. now im banned for shill bidding. I emailed ebay, and they dont seem to care. they said after 7 days, email them again.

@ecs - Yeah I guess you ARE matey
Good for you that it's only for a WEEK, was it your first? The most prudent thing to do I guess is to wait for those 7 days to lapse then mail the admin/mods at Ebay to clarify matters . . . I hope they WILL (should BE !). Cheers!
Posted by EastCoastStar
guess thats what i'll do.
thankssssss.
oh, and they said atleast 7 days could be more. so it may be longer

@ecs - Yeah, I hope it will NOT reach a MONTH of suspension pal
The bad thing about this issue is that even when you tried mailing them in their personal emal addys to get some CLARIFICATIONS and the REST. . .they just DON'T care to respond 
Some people are not just FIT in the POSITION I guess 
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be the FUTURE is NOT ours to see ONLY . . .theirs !

man I i hate being banned from ebay had it done twice now lol, but yeh thats against ebays rules unforchantly, the problem is how did they link your mates account to you?
Posted by EastCoastStar
THATS what i was wondering!! maybe becuase we are on the same network? Or maybe possiably he went on ebay on my account, but Im not sure. That would explain it, but I dont tihnk he has been on my computer.
Does it show to other people that I was suspended?

Just e-mail them after the 7 days. They will ask you to e-mail them back, adding your name to a declaration that you will never do it again blah blah blah!
The same thing happened to me, but you'll have your account back in around 7 days.
Hope this helps....

. . . and LET's just hope that the BAN will only LAST for 7 days
@ecs - Let's say that thier explanation resulted to a FALSE/DERELICT one, will your REPUTATION in Ebay be affected in a way
Do they have a section for BANNED members there?
Posted by w900boy
No, there's no further action taken. The only thing is that if you have any items listed during the ban, they are removed without notification, and you lose the money for listing them.
But to answer your question - No. Nobody will ever know you've ever been banned.
Not that I have too much experience you understand. Was just unfortunate on one occasion!

thats what I was wondering too. I hope they DONT becuase i DIDNT do anything WRONG
but, im going to write them a letter after 7 days and hope they will apologize I guess theres NOT much i CAN do
i DO hope that it ONLY lasts 4 days!!

I've been wrongfully suspended like 8 times
Anyways, I had the same style britany spears engagement ring for sale, an EXACT copy, same stone/size/shape/design etc. So the title had "Britany spear's engagement ring replica" in it. They banned me for like 2 weeks for not having a relavent title to my auction, apparently I was using a random celebrities name in the title to make it more viewable... pfft.
Not quite sure how that helps here, just thought i'd share... But after I was back, everything was back to normal, and i think thats counted as a lifeline gone, you get like 3 untill your permanently suspended, like i have been.... 8 times.

Posted by *Jojo*
Is it ILLEGAL to sell fake items at Ebay? If so, how come I am seeing dummy fones being sold here ?
Posted by p900 lover
Can someone explain what shill is?
Posted by w900boy
Shill bidding is where you get somebody to bid on your items for you, to get the price to rise faster and higher. It puts a false value on the item.

Cover or a petroleum company, IMHO.

There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!
The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.
Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.
Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!

Spam gets everywhere
I will never use Ebay or Paypal again.
The whole set up is a joke, I mean what bright spark thought of private bidding ???
Talk about open the flood gates for shill bidding.
Paypal that won't refund your money because the dodgy seller has cleaned out their account and gone.
