If i were you i would take them to a small claims court sue them..ebay gets away with far to much!
Call your local trading standards and they will advice on the best route to take on the matter,don't let them get away with it!

my formal letter to them
Hi. I just got suspended from ebay for "shill bidding" now firstly I have to ask why? A member called kirsty1025 bid on allot of my items, even lives locally, and collects from my house, but why have you suspended me for this? If they bid on my items how is that my fault? I am fully aware what shill bidding is so don't send me a crap pre set message. I also had over 30 items on ebay which I was charged listing fees for, but now they have all been removed, but I just had to pay those listing fees, and have nothing to show for this, so I request you either reinstate my account imediatly with all my current listings back on in their current status or refund me ALL my listing fees which were charged for those auctions that were just cancled, then reinstate my account asap (some people achually make a living off ebay). I am not very happy about this, i have been trading for over 18 months on ebay and am a powerseller who just reached 600 feedback, I pay over £2000 a year for your services (listing fees etc) and don't start me on paypal. So is this how you like to reward your loyal customers? I know that ebay don't like bad PR, but if this kind of crap continues then your going to get allot of it, especially from annoyed customers such as myself. Luke Bonathan

It will be interesting to see what their reply to that is! It does seem sometimes that they are a law onto themselves!

yeh, the real problem was I really needed the money asap. I had 32 auctiosn approx 1800 worth, and spent that same amount yesterday on some new stock and dont have quite enough in the bank to cover that. So im kinda f*ked right now as I also have to sell that stock when it comes in. I do luckily have a backup of all my items listed (thank god other wise id be really pissed off)

um, ebay saves allot of time and effort, but it does charge to much, don't forget they also own paypal.

I would if I could. I had 32 items on.... also just found this attached to one of the emails:
have been ended early due to your suspension for breach of eBay’s policy prohibiting Shill Bidding.
Please note that any fees incurred by listings ended due to this suspension will not be credited back to your account.
You will be sent a separate notification regarding your account suspension.
Now I want to know why they have the right to steal £20 quid off me, I've done nothing wrong and they take £20. Now maybe its just me thinking here but isn't that my money, I paid for a sevice I got but was taken away before the service had ended in my eyes. I do agree the trading standards agentcy should be involved.
