Ebay suspended my account for spamming !!

[foolish501]

I decided about 3 weeks ago that i would join the ebay revolution, i hadn't used them before, but i was looking for a memory upgrade for my laptop, and i thought i would see how much things went for on ebay.

So i registered, used the email account for my domain, and i could set it to forward onto my main email account.

Well after 3 successful auctions, where i won somethings, and was close to winning a bid on the memory i wanted (would have saved me near $80 from newegg), i got home on saturday morning to find all the bids i had currently cancelled, and when i logged into ebay, it said my account had been suspended for a violation.

Today ebay email me to explain that my account has been found to be in violation of spamming !! Spamming ? I hate spam, and would never spam myself, besides how exactly do you spam from an ebay account ?

Well to re-instate my account, ebay want a copy of my last credit card bill, a copy of my driving licence and me to fax off a violation form.

I am not faxing off this information, with the things that ask for including my ssn, if this got into the wrong hands, i daren't think what could happen.

Ebay has been sucking it for awhile now.

Now, that's a rather rash generalization.

I'd just post a WTB cheap laptop ram on AT forums if I were you.

I like ebay

yes i'm sure, i filled out a form on the ebay website when it said my account was suspended, and then i got a reply to that form. I know it's nobody trying to phish my details

dethman, just because u've never heard of a word before, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Check oxford's english dictionary, and you'll find the word daren't

Interesting. That address traces to a server in Germany, and they're in California. Other than that, looks fairly legit.

Please select "view source" on the entire email, not just headers and post it.

Obvious phishing trip! Forget the old account, start a new one. NEVER respond to an eBay email, even one that seems legit.

It's obviously not a phishing trip if my ebay account has been suspended, and this is the email i got in reply to filling out a form on their website.
