    Hi

    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 all you sell are tickets (presumably for sold out events) your stopping genuine fans from going to these events, so you're classed as a tout (person who sells tickets for a popular event at inflated prices)...and you deserve all you get! Touts are scum of the earth!!

    So, search for 'concert tickets' on yahoo or the like, see how much they charge, then search Ebay, then you come back and tell me who are the touts and who is offering the cheaper tickets?????

    Of course there are so called ticket agencies on the net that sell over-priced tickets but selling them on ebay makes the seller just as bad!
    I have sold tickets on ebay for genuine reasons but I always sell at face value...I am not interested in making profits at the expense of genuine music/sports fans.
    As for your 'challenge'...I cant actually show you but I made a loss on a car I sold last week!

    Guess we wont be getting any more replies from you as you wont have a pc!

    Yes i do sell on Ebay as part of my business dealing cars. I sell Subarus and Evos worth thousands, not items worth a few quid such as yourself so before you start telling me what i dont know about check your facts.

    the item you had for sale was obviously prohibited

    If you dont like the rules of ebay do not use it, sell your tickets through different avenues and stop wasting our time posting looking for sympathy when you get banned.

    well i never actually mentioned i am a tout but you believe what you like.

    One truth is that this is a money saving website but ask most people on it and ask the question "save £2 on a magazine (which i do regularly), or make £50 on a pair of tickets"............................. you tell me

    Wo wo wo please can we calm it down a bit in here people! No need for all this abusive language - the AbCon will probs be here in a min and someone will get a smacked bottom!

    This is the eBay board - help each other to solve each others problems, but don't start new ones, just not needed :(
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)
