Doba, Doba.com, Auction Work At Home EBay, EBay.com, Auction Work At Home baited and switched me to Doba Doba.com which ripped me off and messed up my eBay account Orem, Utah

To make it easy, I am placing in this report, a letter I wrote to eBay CEO and sent a similar letter to eBay CFO/Vice President: They never replied. I believe eBay is partly responsible by affiliating and associating itself with fraudulent companies like Doba.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Request to Cancel my eBay Fees and Reactivate my eBay Account

I am writing to you to cancel my eBay fees and to reactivate my ebay account.

I have been an eBay member for many years and late last year, my account was suspended for non-payment of item insertion fees. I would like to let you know that it was NOT my fault that this happened.

At this point I would like to give you some details about my accout :
My eBay user name (user id) is: ckajua
Ebay Member since 08/10/2001
I currently have a feedback score of 528, with 100% positive feedback; and I pride myself for that accomplishment.
The closed account-id is: E35944056001 for $1,614.88 in fees.

My problems started when I lost my job last spring and was looking for a way to make money working from home. Little did I know that I was going to become a victim of a well planned scam involving two companies, one of which is clearly affiliated with EBAY, Inc.!

I responded to an ad that said I could make money working from home. The ad, by a company called Auction Work At Home said: Become an Auction Listing Specialist! The ad talked about how I could make up to $195.00 a day working only 60 minutes each day that is part-time! They claimed that the method was proven and guaranteed! You can read the whole ad yourself at the following site:

http://offer.auctionworkathome.com/?affiliateid=awahsite

Payment was guaranteed at $13.00 per listing. According to this ad I could make anywhere from $16,700.00/year to $100,620/year depending on my efforts. So I put in lots of effort working day and night, listing hundreds of items on eBay! In fact, I listed over 500 items in a very short time, in less than a month. But my financial dream soon turmed into a financial nightmare as I realised that as soon as Auction Work At Home received my enrollment fee, close to $200.00, they used the bait and switch tactic to send me to an eBay affiliate called DOBA, Inc. (doba.com), tel: 1-877-321-3622 / 1-866-417-3016, where I was now actually selling' on eBay instead of being a listing specialist'. There is a difference! Most of the items I listed DID NOT SELL! Even the ones that sold were either sold at a loss or refunds were requested because of wrong item descriptions on the doba.com website. I made NO MONEY with this program ; instead I ended up with unbearable and unpayable listing fees on eBay, Inc, disappointment, anger, frustrations and heartbreak!

Regarding Auction Work At Home and Doba, on 10/05/2008, I talked to:
Jessica of eBay, Inc. who answered my original/first call ; and was transferred to Lisa (an eBay, Inc. Supervisor). I also talked to Tom (eBay, Inc. Customer Support). Everyone of them was very courteous and assured me that the matter would be resolved satisfactorily.

I suggest EBAY, Inc. should discontinue their affiliation with DOBA, Inc. (doba.com) and Auction Work At Home which are tarnishing your company's reputation with illegal practices fradulent/false advertizing.

Therefore, please, cancel my listing fees and reactivate my account. If you decide NOT to cancel my listing fees and NOT to reactivate my account, I would eBay to sue me so that I can appear in court very SOON with eBay, Inc., Auction Work At Home and DOBA, Inc. (doba.com) legal representatives in order to have the matter resolved by a jury and a judge! I do not currently have a lawyer for this matter, but I will apply for legal assistance from the government in order to keep my account clean.

I trust you will do the right thing.

Yours sincerely,
