I'd like to think that Bobby wasn't lying, but when your livelihood is at stake... Either way it puts him in a shitty position.

VCP has been in business for 12 years now this month...and in that 12 years our eBay feed has been cut off 2 times.

We did not receive any email or letter from eBay telling us it was going to happen if we did not comply. We were working as usual and lost connectivity, and after doing all our trouble shooting found out it was the API feed not returning the calls.

11 years ago they turned off our API we called and they told us we needed to contact Terapeak and start paying for a license in order to post the data. We called Terapeak made a payment and they called eBay and our API was then turned back on again.

Yesterday again the same thing happening, while working we lost connection to eBay. So after trouble shooting we contacted eBay, was told that we had been flagged for a API data violation of posting buyer information. And it needed to be removed in order for our API to be restored. We removed the information and called them and an hour later our API was working again.

I wish I had more to show you but that is all I have...

I guess it's possible PWCC made complaints 'my personal info is posted at this site' in an effort to get the data removed. Not a lawyer, but would it be a stretch to call such a scenario tortious interference?

I am so impressed by the hard work a public company like eBay was doing over Memorial Day Weekend that I just went and bought some stock.

Noose. Tightening.

Maybe it's the lawyer in me but given my experience I have a feeling the timing of things wasn't a coincidence. At least I'm hoping so. Something like this happening during a holiday weekend can actually be a good sign in that law enforcement is doing something while people aren't expecting it.

That being said, VCP has been incredibly helpful over the years. Bobby is responding promptly to questions, despite the time difference and being in Hawaii. Meanwhile every time I login here now I see the huge PWCC banner. Huh?

and that's being nice. I would love to bash Brent Mastro the crooks face in with a baseball bat. ZERO moral compass and ZERO integrity.
