Dear kevsc,

Due to a recent policy violation, this account has temporarily been restricted from listing new items for a period of approximately one day. Your account has not been suspended. While your account is restricted from listing new items, you will still have full access to other account functions such as sending email, obtaining shipping addresses, leaving feedback and more. Suspensions result in the cancellation of all listings, emails to bidders, and blocked access to other account functions. To avoid the potential of account suspension - please ensure compliance with eBay policy.


My reply
I have been suspended and received negative feedback from listing a free link to download the Peter Brock funeral programs while you continue to allow other sellers to violate your own rules in relation to profiteering from a tragedy. I expect some sort of answer from you people from within the next few hours or I will be taking my story to A current affair. Us the people who keep your company running are fed up with you letting this practice of sellers cashing in on deaths to continue.

Do we know who is complaining????

[GML-31]

I doubt we will get that information, just astounds me there is 2 copies still 4 sale.

[LC69GTR]

Its ok i just message the 2 people winning them and giving them the offer of the pdfs if they want them i guess we see what happens

[GML-31]

good idea we could mail everyone that is bidding on them.... unless they are computer beginners and its all too hard for them.

Even if A current afaire shows the story on air i doubt ebay will suffer in anyway, poeple will still use ebay regardless..

Your right, ACA and TodayTonight have been running a few ebay stories but it doesn't really matter to ebay because people will still sell and buy shit from them because ebay it the biggest online action place and people know that they can buy and sell shit there.

Maybe the ACA can do somthing about it, maybe give ebay a big hefty fine and id be asking for an apology email from ebay just to stick it up em..

ACA have no power at all, they can put the story up and hope the public stop using ebay or that the authorities do something then. (not that I'm saying what ebay done is right, because i think it was a good thing to put up the link to stop people from cashing in on brocky death(If that what you where restricted for.)) But you did break the rules to which you agreed when you signed up. Therefore meaning they had every right to restrict you account.

how is selling a funeral program illegal?

[GML-31]

Smeer ... their guidelines state you cannot sell from a tragedy.
