    They are sent in date order. So april , may etc. But looks like all dates have now been sent. Hopefully, not lost in post - and just one of last lots they sorted.

    You did use 3 different addresses?


    Thank you for that

    I did yes. And not one has arrived. never had problems in the past.

    Not too worried about all the rules and regs, i don't sell much anyway and my daughter has an account.

    Remember that each of those warnings, whether FVFs are refunded or not count as a breach. A small seller needs as few as 5 strikes per year before getting restricted/suspended.so to cover your petrol costs you might well lose your ability to remain on eBay.

    I don't think people are fully understanding the new metric strike rules that are coming into affect in a few months and which for those on an annual review are already in the pot to be counted.


    Still not right that people can make a fortune from concert tickets. They should get their priorities right! They earn enough from us!!

    How do you know? Are you in touch with my buyers??? lmao

    I can assure you., not one person who has bought from me has ever not been able to use them!!!!

    You said NO-ONE has ever been unable to use these tickets.

    You never said no-one who BOUGHT OFF YOU!

    This is what I said
    I've been selling AT tickets on ebay for years. I have had one or 2 removed, but then have just relisted them later on.

    Last year, after I had sold them and received the money/posted them, I ahd an email saying 2 of my listings had been removed due to breach of rules, and fees refunded. They refunded my FV fees!! lmao. very silly!

    I never post a picture though of the tickets. Also if you use their Alton towers logo, they do complain about that and call it breaching copyright.

    What annoys me is, I sell a few sets of tickets, and then buy 2 sets with the same day on so all 4 of us can go, and hopefully I have covered the petrol, also, so not really making much, just doing it to get a free day out. yet people can buy up concert tickets and sell them for ten times the price. how is that OK????

    No-one has ever said they've been unable to use them, either, by the way. but as I said, I don't publish a pic of them

    Note the "I don't publish a pic of them". meaning maybe thats why people have always been able to use them, as no bar code was ever showing. :)

    Not too worried about all the rules and regs, i don't sell much anyway and my daughter has an account.

    If your daughter has any link with you, ie has ever used same address on eBay or PayPal, or has logged into her account at home with you (or vice versa) then her account would also be fairly likely to go as well if you lose yours.

    It really is a very bad idea to risk having an eBay account suspended for such a minor breach, it affects any other associated accounts.

    So true- as much as i hate Ebay - i protect my account where possible - and wont let family use Ebay at my house.

    You never know when you might need an item cheap, one thats hard to find - or need to sell the xbox to pay the mortgage.

    To be fair I thought it was obvious they were referring to their own sales.
