Thread: Effing EBAY jerkoffs!

So I was selling all my 360 stock and parts on ebay. All going well, put up my brand new 360 4gb slim chipped with coolrunner (seriously owned it about 2 weeks) And then I put up my second PS3 fat 60gb. all is going well, I am sure these will sell soon cause of it being a 3 day auction and the low low prices I set to make some money for xmas.

What happens? Ebay suspends my account!!

Now this is all I need, I have 4 sales out and on their way to the buyers. Now they see me as not a registered member. So I have to try and find these guys in my paypal transactions because I cannot reply to them via ebay. Let them know the situation and I am calling ebay to work it out.

Here is what the suspension letter said....

Hello deadpool (************@hotmail.com),

Your account has been suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members and the eBay community.

Due to the suspension, you won't be able to use your eBay account in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.

Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

We appreciate your understanding.

Thanks,

eBay

Please don't reply to this message. It was sent from an address that doesn't accept incoming email.

So I call these guys, gonna play dumb, because I know its about the coolrunner chipped 360 slim. First call I am put on hold after talkign to this chick, I sit there 35 minutes and they disconnect me.

Second call, I am talkign to this dude, he puts me on hold for like 10 minutes. He comes back and says I see why you are suspended but I am not allowed to tell you. WTF?!?! I start to ask why and stuff and he hangs up on me.

FML, I am so pissed, I needed to make the sales of all I had up. And to top it all off, I got two 360 slims, both chipped. I dont need both!

I cant believe this. Has anyone else had any experiences like this with ebay?

yeah, bro...I had a paypal with a fake name a few years back. I sold my psp with cfw on ebay and used that account to accept the payment. Little did I know they put a hold on the account until they can verify your ID....so in the meantime I sent out the psp. Do you think I ever saw any money for it????? NOPE!!! I sent out the psp, they never identified me, and the buyer got to keep the psp. I was sooooo pissed!!! The worst part is I sold it so i could pay some bills, I defaulted on my car payment, and it got repoed.....thanks paypal for scewing up my credit just because I didn't want you to know who I was!!!

Sony, MS , and Nintendo have all put the screws on eBay for selling chipped and modded game consoles out int he open. So now they just close those accts and items right away. I don't use them for that anymore, but other than that I haven't had a single problem with either company.

Wow that sucks, next time go with craigslist and just post it as a normal console.....when you get calls just give the intentional info lol, bet it'll sell quick.

Bottom Line:

You can't get by with selling modded consoles from eBay anymore! They started cracking down on this earlier this year. Heck, I remember some guys from XBox Scene having this same issue back a few months ago. They got their accounts removed/suspended because of the word 'jtag'. These were sellers on XBox Scene forums & had been for a while. They had gotten by with this from eBay until the crackdown!

Well it sucks because all I wanted to buy was a kinect and a couple extra controllers for me and my daughter to play. She really wants that new kinect game the disney princess adventures. :( Sigh.
