Well I am a seller and I think it is ridiculous that ebay is banning accounts over this, I totally agree that they have every right to end auctions and such. But we as sellers ones that sell a lot pay a great deal of seller fees and paypal fees and fees and feesI work incredibly hard to maintain that glorious 100% positive feedback from customers and after many years if my account was wiped out due to this I would be very upset and irrate. I hear everyones ridiculous "they are wrong for selling them for a profit crap" You stand outside a game store for 12 hours in the cold! You could have the same as they did. You odd excuse is they take all the systems that you could have reserved... B.S. as those same systems you could have reserved would have been gobbled up by the hundreds beside the ones buying to sell. You have the right not to buy off ebay and hunt the stores day and night like all others do, but IMO if you have the cash and want the luxury of some other fool waiting in hell for hours to save you the trouble you should have that right. But ebay banning these sellers without even a warning is ridiculous. We sellers pay great amounts of money to sell on ebay. Take for instance 1 PS3 if you sell it at say around $1200. Well ebay listing fees are about $40 after final value fees. Paypal fees are about $35.00 so they get $70 for nothing other than allowing exposure! Then they want to ban you???? Its not right at all. Not to mention they then contact all the buyers of your other auctions and tell them to ask for refunds from paypal for the other non-PS3 related auctions...and this is beside whether or not they received the products already or not..Tell me this is right? And get this I am not one of these banned sellers I just realize how wrong this is. Believe it or not folks most ebay sellers are not scum, they are you friends and family and they work hard to sell on ebay. Ebay does not warn or communicate with anyone when they make these decisions, they then request the seller to send in drivers license copies, business records, credit card statements, utility bills??? WTF.. And even then they will ban you if they feel like it. Not cool at all..
