    Any chance of an appeal to ebay and paypal if it wasn't your fault.
    They obviously blamed you but can you appeal your innocence.....
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • I have already appealed but they said it is their security policy and for their interest .
  • So I mean I'm pretty doomed

    Open a market stall.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    I'd say it's a pretty harsh end of the market to be in, extremely cost sensitive and reliant on big turnover - but turnover means lots of money tied up in stock, logistics, storage, etc., buying power will mean better margins, and a few pence extra on some bargain lines might actually double the margin!
