Hey,

I was just wondering did anyone here get suspended from ebay? If so how long did it take before the suspension was lifted?


I have been suspended for over 2 months now and Im still waiting for it to be lifted... I think it was because I use copyrighted pictures!


Anyone out there able to advise me on this one?



DOES ANYONE KNOW AN ALTERNATIVE TO EBAY THAT WORKS PRETTY GOOD?

I have never heard of anybody getting banned from ebay.
It will probably be a long time if not permenant, they don't want people on there that could be scamming or using commercial images of your product as opposed the actuall product that you have.

i dont have no mac's
i got banned once or twice for forgetting to pay my fees, but the ban was lifted the second i payed it.

if it was for something like copyright infringement, which is pretty serious, then you might never get back on the site.

isnt there some sort of yahoo auction thing? but make sure you start using your own pictures, i have never bought from anybody who used pictures that were not of the actual product being sold

you can always create a different account. I was once suspended for using someone elses picture (eg. taking a picture of steves ibook and using as "my" item). To be honest I can't remember how long it took, but I know I still have the same name. It was maybe 5 years ago so I apologize, have you tried contacting ebay?
