    Hi mrscmr

    I am nearly in tears, just had 3 of my Ebay listings pulled (have posted on Ebay thread) for selling England clothing, lots of other sellers are selling it, now my Business account is up s**t creak without a paddle, I was on Medium for Policy Compliance when the first two were pulled, I haven't checked it yet since the last one was pulled, I just don't believe it. Apparenly Umbro complained, do they have all the rights to the word England now?

    My heart is pounding.

    I can't see anyone passed out since your figures were in your sig already...

    I would definitely get rid of the car if at all possible and shave quite a bit off your debts....

    The other question that springs to mind is did you buy anything concrete with the loans that you could still sell?

    I know you are acting tough - hugs anyway!

    Thanks mrscmr - I e-mailed Ebay after the first two listings were pulled, then I e-mailed the person from Umbro whose name was on the e-mail, then I got the 3rd one pulled. I really hate Ebay, all their stupid rules for sellers, there are so many sellers selling England clothing.

    I've spent money on clothing to sell, now I have to e-mail the people tomorrow when the parcel arrives and ask to send it back for a refund.

    I'll see what Ebay say when they e-mail me back.
