Last week, i had a really nasty email, from Tyler at ebay, informing me that my account would never be re-reviewed and that the listing limits were permanent. Of course, I was crushed. I loved listed on ebay and I really believed if they would only take a close look at my feedback, they would change their minds. Needless to say, it was a real low point for me. Well, the next day I got an email informing me that my listing limits had been lifted. I was so happy, I cried. Then, I thought, this can’t be right. I sent them 2 emails before I could believe that I would be allowed to list as much as I wanted. I got right to work and I have been listing to my hearts delight. Something has changed, though. I feel the dog who was knocked down a few times and now I expect to be knocked down again.

I wonder when the other honest sellers I met on ebay will have their listing limits lifted? It’s hard to believe that this was the best way ebay could find, to get rid of counterfeiters and crooks. Innocent people shouldn’t have their finances ruined because, for too many years, ebay let the fakes get listed as long as they were paying customers. My family and I were seriously damaged during this time. Multiply this by thousands of families who depend on ebay for their income. Ebay used to be so proud of the fact that people made full time jobs out of being ebay sellers. Many of these people are the ones who lived for months with no way to sell and no clear information from ebay.

This has been a very difficult time for many honest ebay sellers. I hope this never happens again. I still believe we need some representation with ebay. A sellers union perhapss?
