how do you know your auctions have been pulled just out of interest? you didn't log in through a link in the email did you? because it could be a scam and the scammer has just changed your password so you can't log on

(sorry don't mean to sound patronising just trying to get all the facts)

my sister has an account and i called her and she searched for me as she was watching my items whilst i was away and it now says no longer a user

Correct me if i'm wrong buy buying event tickets and selling them on ebay does not violate its policies does it???????

Hi Mac123 - glad your okay - was worried there... yeah apparantly it does violate its policies, i've seen a lot of the U2 tickets get pulled as they are non transferable... its just a bit of a clampdown I think... there is a thread on here about train tickets which mentions the same thing??

Hope you didnt think i said that YOU were a scammer, i just thought the scammers might have accessed your account - o dear tho, it seems like it may have been ebay tho

No i never thought that!! a quick search shows the same tickets being sold by other people - I thought a warning would suffice!!

My reference to me not being a scammer is in relation to the expectation of the flood of e-mails quoting along the lines of "where's my ******* tickets" blah blah blah

***Amendments to the Contracts and Tickets policy ***
Date: 14/02/05 Time: 03:45:38 PM GMT

We have added a provision to our Contracts and Tickets policy regarding the legal requirement for a business seller when selling event tickets to consumers to state the face value of the ticket. eBay recommends that this information is included in the item description.

Ebay will never provide you a link to click on when the require you to change any user details. They will say....

Access you account as you normaly would (by typing https://www.ebay.co.uk into you interent browser)and then follow these instructions.

the https://www.ebay.co.uk would not be clickable

I have emailed them and am awaiting a reply - I paid my fees and it pulled all my listings and says i am no longer a registered user

What can i do as i have taken money for items not yet delivered such as event tickets??

Cheers

If you're touting then I can't say you've got my sympathy. Perhaps Ebay has finally decided to sit up and do something about those anti-social, scummy individuals known as ticket touts.

oops.......... it doesn't state the reason in my e-mail and again, a quick search highlights various sellers not adhering to this policy

Wouldn't a warning suffice initially rather than whip my account from underneath me!!!!

hey, who rattled your cage and oh yeah, i forgot, EVERYONE who sells items on ebay only breaks even!! whether it's tickets, your sisters care bear or david beckhams BMW, people are in it to make a profit and not to offer unique, hard to find items.

I posted here for advice not criticism

Thank you
