Two pieces of advice1. Stop shouting in your posts it just annoys people and you won't get a response.2. You will really need to write a longer entry to explain what steps have happened up till now and what your responses have been. Not enough information at the moment for people to respond to.0 -
This has happened to me, I basically just faxed over all my details and made sure I had a copy and my account limit was lifted the next day.MiasMommy0

if you paid by credit card get on to them they may reverse the charges.0

My credit card company helped me when I had probs with Paypal. I never use Paypal now - bunch of *******Ellie :cool:

Whenever I look up items on Ebay and see that they are Paypal only I just don't bother with that item/seller.
Paypal have not got the best of reputations especially when trying to resolve situations like the one above so best to keep clear and avoid endless hassle!
Be careful out there,

I'm the total opposite of you Elmer, I only ever buy off sellers who offer Paypal. I would never offer Paypal if I was selling a high value item though.Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before0
