In the past two weeks I listed several items, including rare and exquisite antiques, totaling over ten thousand dollars. The antiques were listed on behalf of an Atlanta woman in the process of moving.

Suddenly and without warning, Ebay suspended my account on November 17, 2003, less than 8 hours before three of the ten-day auctions were to end.

I discovered my account's status when trying to pay my outstanding listing fees. But paypal was down for maintenance.

Ebay notified me via email that my account was suspended in accordance to "Section 9" but did not collaberate or offer any information pertaining to violating items, explanations, or specifics.

Many individuals were interested in a Jukebox that was listed beginning at $7200.00. Most bidders bid towards the end of the auction. Since this auction was unwillingly terminated before it's end, I will never know the outcome- theoretically I may have lost thousands of dollars on the sale of my items.

In the case that my account is to be reactivated, any previous listings have been permanently erased and I would have to endure the timely process of re-listing them. There is no gaurantee that the previous individual interests would be able to locate my re-lists. Because Ebay strategicly suspended my items before my expensive auction's ending, I've become suspicious of their business practices. It seems like a sick joke.

could be paypal doing the dirty deed, suprised they haven't been investigated for embezzeling funds

AUTHOR: Cindy - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2003

i found a sight called paypalsucks. so much bad was reported about it that i cancelled my account immediately. double billing, money withdrawn for unkown reasons, accounts siezed for "illegal" activity (unfounded). basically when any large sum of money or a lot of transactions take place in your account, they sieze it, and don't necessarily return it. if by chance they do return it, they have 180 days to do it. the people who have lost their business is astounding, i'm suprised they haven't been investigated for embezzeling funds. sounds like that is what they are doing to me.

read the sight, tell me if someone at paypal isn't making a lot of money of someone elses hard work.
