Kudos: 288

Mates: 17

Now recently there has been a certain game i want off ebay and its not out here(no name) but what i notice is that some sellers make random accounts say d##f and then you can look at bidder history and if the wrong person wins they will post it again and so on to get the price up dont fall into the trap.

p.s. this is not about super smash brawl its about ebay DONT get confused. and some may know of this but just yer

Mate that's been happening for ever.. and at the end of the day, it keeps coming back to the same old economics... Supply and demand. If he doesn't get his required price for it, the only person who wins is eBay as they charge a listing price... So don't worry about it, don't go above what you think is fair and you will never get ripped off.

hey guys,

having recently joined ebay the other day and all was fine and dandy when my account was suspended for no reason. Well actually they sent me an email to say that i had to send proof of id - photo id or drivers license a bank statement and a recent bill.

I asked the girl why they did that for and she siad that because i dont have a credit card sometimes ebay asks for further proof of identification.

has that happened to anyone else here or was i just unlucky?
cheers

Ps i asked the girl why didnt they want that proof in the first place as i have hesitation in providing proof its just that i was bidding on an auction which has just ended which is why i was annoyed at them. anyway i've sent the proof of to them and they said it takes up to 48 hours to be reinstated.

Ebay is becoming a real pain in the backside to use the last couple of years, I hardly bother with it now as it's too much hard work.

You are probably better off getting one of those Visa debit cards which you can use online but it has only the amount of cash you put on it as funds and use a trusted online store like play-asia etc.

I'd be wanting to make sure that was an official ebay email before you start giving things away. It's odd that you were allowed to sign up without a credit card, and they then suspended your account to verify you after you'd signed up. Can I ask what may be a dumb question? Have you been to ebay after the email? To make sure you're actually suspended?

It's just, I've had a few obviously fake emails telling me I've been suspended and need to verify my details and what-not before.
