My account suspended on ebay=FRAUD??

[twocats]

Ebay sided with the buyer as far as deeming your auction wording to be deceptive. Your own comments state that the buyer 'overpaid" by $600 so this says to me that you also agree that there was a misunderstanding.

Ebay has made a decision, no one has a legal right to be a member of Ebay. Membership is a privilege subject to Ebay's terms. A good & honest seller would have worked this out with the buyer. I'm not saying that you intentionally misrepresented the item but the results were the same. Morally, I would think that you would have wanted to work it out with the buyer after the buyer contacted you and before it got to this juncture.

Ebay makes money from the seller, not the buyer. A judgement to deny your access is significant in as Ebay is also removing a source of income from their roster. They do not do this unless the cause is blatant.

Also, this may not apply to you in this case but FYI for anyone else reading this, all sales are not final on Ebay if the buyer pays with Paypal & a CC. You may state ASF in your TOS but it means nothing.

I might have considered working something out had this guy not been such a JERk to me.

And he paid with money order.

Actually, I'm only in this boat because I never saw the email, so they gave the guy a "default decision"

It doesn't matter how he paid you.The fact of the matter is you didn't attempt to try calling and i know from other people that use e-bay, is that there is all kinds of ways to contact the seller and the buyer.And if you had a problem at a retail store and you had a valid problem you would be a jerk until the retail store refunded your money right!, so quit crying and learn from YOUR mistakes and make things right. Remember this is THE USA, not another country

I'm not interested in what I "should" do only what is required by law.
