That stinks Chris!! My condolences on your nightmare. Hopefully Fraudbay will force him to return the item to you as they forced me to return the photo copied T3's.

So much for a safe trading environment and yes! Go with your gut feeling 100% of the time!!

After selling here and there on ebay (100% feedback, maybe 50 sales in the past couple of years, all cards) and buying quite a bit (500 items?), I get an email from ebay. I haven't sold anything in a few months but out of the blue, ebay informs me that I can now only sell up to $500 per month. No reason, just that it's my max sales allowable per month. No negs, complaints, open cases, nothing...

While I've only had that account for a couple of years, I have been buying & selling on my other acct since '99. Ebay has become a joke for sellers now.

Because of situations like these I swear to Bob Almighty (whoever that might be) that I will start putting up auction lots on GRAND SLAM BIDS in about a week. We have an alternative people...let's start turning our focus to it!

I've been buying and selling on ebay for nearly a decade, with over 700 positive feedback (t-206collector). I have left exactly ZERO negative feedbacks in my life. I have received exactly ZERO negative feedbacks in my life. Do you think that means that I've had no ebay issues over 10 years? Of course not. I just happen to think it is nobody's responsibility to identify the pond scum floating on ebay. Doing so with publicly viewable feedbacks can only come back to bite you. And, it will do no good in ridding the world of pond scum.

C'mon Dan'o. When have I ever asked ANYONE not to say something as long as their name is by their post? I think this is one of the most open forums on the internet, however names have to be by posts when making certain comments.

I will gladly post my name, because I don't want to have to watch what I say!

I can appreciate your position T206collector but I have never been the one to turn their back and let someone else get involved when I see a problem. I work very hard to report fraud in the baseball card category when I see it and I would have hoped ebay cares more about illegal fraud then stupid star ratings but I guess I am wrong.

Ebay gets a commission on every sale. Ergo, they will support every sale that is legally defensible. Negative feedbacks on sellers who get to the line but are not technically legally over the line hurt Ebay's bottom line. When you start moving away from that line into pure honest sales, it is very hard for a mega-corporation to take a moral stance one way or the other. It is hard to draw a line in the sand on the scum-o-meter, when there is a hard line of legality a little further down the shore.

Well I am a registered expert in the baseball card category and even though they have SHIT ON ME this time I am going to continue to do my job and shut down the trash that tries to steal!!! That is the entire purpose why I spend countless hours working for free for them and the main reason I am pissed they allowed the trash to have my FB removed.


Bill Cornell once told me that he firmly believes in the feedback system and I will still give my all to help clean up the baseball card category.

Bill, you are my hero!!!

Ebay did this to me in June...I tried in vain for two months to get them to lift the restrictions on me..Finally after getting nowhere I called and asked for a manager..I talked to a woman who told me that every single seller will have restrictions by the end of the year. She did double my limits though and told me that if I needed to up them that I should have no problem doing so.
