Sorry for budding in Dan, But what you say is very true about Ebay. I
recently posted a switch key for sale and the bids were going great until
Ebay pulled the rug from under me removing the add saying that the key I was
selling received complaints from "certain " people and that it was still in
use today...blah blah blah. Who the hell does Ebay think they are ? The
authorities watch dog ?

Sorry to hear about it. Isn't it a sick, sinking feeling when an
auction you are running is suddenly yanked?

At least you were given a reason.

I have now sent in THREE inquiries asking why the listing was removed,
with NO response from eBay.

Apparently they are arrogant now that they remove your auction and don't
even tell you why.

Christ I pay at least 200$ a month in advertising not to mention the
substantial "cuts" Paypal takes off MY earnings.
Needless to say that I for one am very ****ed also and especially sickened
by the abusive Capitalistic Tyrant ways Ebay demonstrates. TOO BAD we dont
have other options as popular as FleaBay.

Someone else will invent a better mousetrap, make a billion bucks and
get as big and arrogant as ePAY. It's a vicious cycle.

Dan

Dan here is what you do....
Grab some Ebay logo, and take a picture of it, Post it in the auction like
you would any item with photos not forgetting to put the Registered sign
next to the Ebay logo.
Just entitle it " EBAY ARE TYRANTS " and explain your case in the
description and put a 0.01 cent value on the ad.
I'll bet you it wont take a minute before they get back to you.
Furthermore, any emaikl you send to Ebay should be accompanied with a CC: to
your local consumer advocacy group, any Newsnet service you like and even
the newspapers if you have too.
It's by rattling the cage that you awake the animal.
Let us know how you make out.

I was very upset at first, as these threads indicate.

I have cooled off now, and learned a bit along the way as well.

Much of this problem I brought upon myself. I can learn from it and
move on. I may NEVER get an answer from eBay. So be it.

I've been on these groups for years, and should have known the the type
of folks who lurk here.

I didn't do anything underhanded or deceitful in my initial actions, and
I don't plan on starting now.

Dan

Dan , Forgot to mention, I had a BOSS once who ****ed me off so bad I wanted
to Kill him.
Instead, what I did was PURCHASE a YEARS SUBSCRIPTION to some hardcore GAY
S&M MAGAZINE ( paid cash off course ). And what I did was On the
APPLICATION, I WROTE HIS NAME, BUT his 3 rd door NEIGHBOR'S ADDRESS......
So guess what, the guy who received it made it a point to deliver it to MY
BOSS in person.
I would have loved to be there when he handed the S&M Gay magazine to him.
Sometimes it costs very little to get even with people and all along giving
you the satisfaction of a job well done.....( I still rejoice today just
thinking about it )....ha ha ha

Very funny stuff indeed, but despite what most think of me here, I am
not that type of person.

Once again...

I didn't do anything underhanded or deceitful in my initial actions, and
I don't plan on starting now.

Dan

Good luck anyway Dan.

That boss story was pretty good.
My first boss way back when was a scum bag.
I sent him a xmas card to the shop.
He opened it while talking to the owner of the place.
As he opened the card they both saw a
un-rolled condom that had Ivory liquid all over it.
And I wrote "to Bob, A real prick".
It took everything I had not to burst out laughing.
Needless to say, I sent him a card for many years.
Childish, yes, but the payback in front of the owner... priceless!!

Sky King... That was a good one. I like it. Next time try to leave a gift
wrapped box under his desk with a large brand new alarm clock inside that
goes TIC TOC TIC TOC. dont forget to put a nice note inside which says in
Latin " Tempus Fugit " ( Time flye's ) . But make sure you handle
everything with surgical gloves. he he he he . I'd like to see his face when
he finds it.
The same goes for Doberman ****.
