We are cautious and principled traders, yet today we find ourselves restricted from selling by eBay because of feedback from individuals with whom we would not wish to trade. We have received 16 negatives in last 30 days (our highest ever) against 466 positives and ebay decide that we should not trade on ebay any longer. How is it fair that we are removed from ebay? They should base their decision on the overall picture that prior to the last 30 days we have a good history going back a number of years with no issues and take a look at some of the buyers we have traded with with no warning from other sellers as this is no longer allowed!! A lot of these neg givers are habitual neg givers but ebay do not see this and say it is OK for buyers to do this if they are not happy, the question begs to ask what will make these buyers happy? We did not have any prior warning from ebay just a phone call to say “Hi, this is Bert from ebay. I am ringing to let you know that your account has been restricted so you will not be able to buy or sell for 30 days”. Were we meant to say “Thanks for letting us know, goodbye”. After an hour of discussions with Bert and him stating that it was his decision prior to speaking with us with no chance of a defence from us. He did not even know that we had 748 items listed/removed until we told him.
