I'm glad to see that I'm not alone when it
comes to having problems with eBay. eBay appears to close
accounts on unfounded grounds, and provides little or no
description for their actions. Not to mention that their
customer support is nothing less than disgusting.
However...they are members of the Better Business Bureau
and that website does take complaints online...I wrote a
real nice one... :)
Should anyone need to file a complaint against eBay, go
to
http://www.bbbsilicon.org find eBay and file your
complaint. I think if we get enough people to raise a stink
eBay will start more paying attention to its customers, I
think it is possible that eBay can lose their BBB standing
if they get too many complaints as well.

eBay uses
several ways to track you
1) cookies
2) Javascript /
Java
3) Your IP address
4) If you are a seller, they ask
you question as if those questions are from buyers. You
don't answer them, they nail you good.
5) Response Now
button
6) Your computer name
7) Call you and pretend that they call a wrong seller which was suspended.
8) disguise themself as buyer and ask you a question about an item (that sold under a suspended account)
9) Windows serial # / Screen Resolution / Computer name / Windows user name - They collect these but these will not lead to your suspension. These will trigger their computers.
Remember the Soviet Union?
Remember eBay hired programmers to get you linked to a suspended account. Their only reason is "nail crooks". Yet they nail more good people than crooks. Crooks know ways to get away.
You get nailed by eBay if you log on eBay from a
computer that was log in by a suspended user.
As stated in their Terms of
Service, eBay has the right to terminate any account at any
time for any reason and regardless of any information you
may provide. in all cases, it is impossible for you to prove
innocence to eBay's satisfaction.
Since Ebay are so nice enough to allow buyers and sellers an
opportunity to leave each other feedback it would only be
fair that we give our feedback to Ebay
