To anyone who is interested - this is taking place after my sellers account has been permanently suspended. I believe it should have been temporarily suspended last year due to poor performance, however things are different now and I was a great seller with 100% positive feedback for almost 10 years prior. Beginning in 2009 until last year I was dealing with the devastating affects from losing 3 members of my family, one right after another, ending with my mom. This affected every aspect of my life very negatively and I am truly remorseful for that. I have since overcome these tragedies and moving forward. I am honest and loyal, most definitely not a scam artist, and ebay refuses to have a heart and see that. Why should they need me, right? I'm not a power seller...I'm just one of millions, etc. I truly hope other's come forward with their story...the company has turned into a money hungry uncaring conglomerate that doesn't give a crap about the little people and that there are extenuating life circumstances that happen in life that need to be risen from. They have forgotten that very fundamental important aspect of life. Come on competition...knock them out of the water. Bring back the heart into this business that we all love. Ebay has none.
This is the letter I wrote to them after their very quick decision. And if anyone else would like more details about my situation don't hesitate to ask - I have nothing to hide...!
I understand your policies however I find it very sad that you would restrict someone based on a set of problems for which they have overcome and received help for. You say that It’s the length of time which is exactly the time frame of my family crisis and you do not take into consideration all of my prior years of being an upstanding member of ebay. While I respect your decision I do not agree with it and to me it leaves me believing that ebay is a very uncaring and unforgiving company. I will be selling and buying elsewhere and leaving reviews wherever I can. Again, I do not fault the initial suspension, but this decision is uncalled for and while I take my business to the next level I will be letting everyone who will listen exactly what I think. It’s very important to have your rules to weed out scammers and dishonest people but to do this is just plain wrong. I have seen so many sellers with so many negative feedback ratings that you continue to allow on the site and yet someone like me you ban. I may not have been a power seller but I would have become one, an honest and good one, and you may not think I am in any way important to your business, but I will share my story. I will be honest with it and I hope it helps others come out with theirs. I don’t need ebay to succeed. Thank god for that. A company that does business like this will most definitely not be around in 50 years. One’s with integrity will come along and surpass you. They will learn from your mistakes. I look forward to that day.
