WOW! Ebay! Be prepared to be Suspended for breathing!
 
I sign on this morning and low and behold my buying rights have been suspended for 3 days! After a 20 minute phone call to ebay and a supervisor intervening, I was finally reinstated.

I bought a $12 item last night, the seller invoices me then 10 minutes later sends an email that he will not ship until he gets paid.

I do not respond to pressure very well so I responded with and I quote:

"Yea no Crap, that is how it works with every ebay transaction"

Seller doesn't like my vulgar language and we go back and forth with 4 more emails and NO profanity on either side.

He reports me for being "unprofessional" Ebay suspends me.

WOW!!!!!!

They want to see unprofessional??????

I told them if they were going to suspend me, I was going to earn it!!!

Amazing!

Looks like reasons for member to member contact hasn't changed:

What are the guidelines?
- Spam (email)
- Threats
- Profanity and hate speech
- Feedback comments containing inappropriate content


Not sure where "unprofessional" fits in here, I bet he has a relative working for ebay!

Corporate America at its finest! Makes you just want to go out and buy stock in Ebay!! Not!

Ebay Supervisor?
 
Danmckee when you had a supervisor on the phone you should have asked why they are allowing a fake Mantle lithograph with the J. Dimaggio (Banned Cert Co by Ebay itself!) to be listed on their site? Double standards everywhere! I have reported this item 4 times!

Brian Van Horn 02-09-2015 08:20 AM

Dan,

Looks like you got your $12 bucks worth.

:D

Ebay
 
Dan you should have tried the Joey trick on him and threatened negative feedback if he did not lower the price. :eek:

ValKehl 02-09-2015 08:51 AM

Dan, you just can't manage to stay out of trouble, can you?!! :D

Hope everything else is going well for you,
Val

danmckee 02-09-2015 09:08 AM

Ha!!! I am always in trouble.

I just called again cause seller threatened to keep calling ebay

The rep that looked at the messages exchanged said I should have never been suspended!!!!

WOW! Great job ebay!

And of course the moron employee that suspended me won't get any training for this yet needs it!

Did you ever see Creep Show with Leslie Neilson being buried on the beach?

Dan, no offense, but your actions sound kinda childish. Something about a pot and a kettle comes to mind.

Man, that takes me back...loved that show!

CurtisFlood 02-09-2015 10:58 AM

Dan, I like your style. I'm not passing judgment because I have had my bouts with that group. However, I quit them cold turkey in about 2004. Just too much drama for my blood. Hang in there.

Thanks Ben, to each his own

Childish is not grounds for suspension

dan

Centauri 02-09-2015 01:14 PM

agreed. Suspension is quite a bit too far.

HappyJack41 02-09-2015 01:31 PM

And you were a buyer! Imagine if you were the seller :eek: :p

Maddog 02-09-2015 01:52 PM

I agree with Forgebuster.
Someone gets suspended for a snide comment to a ridiculous statement but Ebay does crap to all the forgers on their site?

Hope Leon doesn't suspend me for using the "c" word:rolleyes:

Yea, maybe Pot is the problem here

NewEnglandBaseBallist 02-09-2015 04:21 PM

Dan, you should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you try to make a living selling and buying on Ebay! You should be giving your cards away for free!

Fred 02-09-2015 06:55 PM

Ya gotta hold your breath Dan...

Hey Dan

Sorry to hear you have to deal with this. At least the auction had ended.

About three weeks ago I had a (long time) Ebay seller message me and tell me that "when the money hits Paypal, I'll mail the item".

Funny thing is, the auction hadn't even ended yet!

I messaged him back and explained that when the auction ended, I would pay promptly.

My guess is that he figured out what I was talking about since I never heard back from him.

Good to see ebay siding with a seller.

Wow, Dan. When I saw Fred ask his question, that exact scene was the first thing to pop into my head. That's absolutely frightening. :p

Ok, I am really dating us here, but...
