You must have been doing something really bad to get your accounts closed.

Not really. I saw someone selling intangible items on there so I started doing it. I got caught and suspended.

Usually it is a good idea to read the rules!

What intangible items were you selling?

Links to a site that gets the buyer a better deal on an item.
ie. item costs $150 retail
Costs $120 on the site I linked them to
Link costed $2
Saves $28

This was two years ago, before I learned of better ways.

Better ways of making money?

I hope they're better than the ones you've talked to us about.

Anyway, I suspect you're going to be screwed on this eBay transaction; best of luck in the future.

That's what Bernie Madoff said.

 

[Squilly]

That's what Bernie Madoff said.

I created an eBay account a couple of months ago and was able to sell 3 things before they limited my account. All transactions were flawless. They just don't think highly of me because of what happened two+ years ago.

If Bernie Madoff got out of prison today, would you invest with him? Or do you not think highly of him because of what happened two+ years ago?

No. He scammed billions. Are you calling me a scammer? -.-

You're a bit naive buddy.

uneducated, you can buy feedback on Ebay they banned it but it still goes on

lol well by the time 1 of the 2 marketplace users is scammed I'm sure they will let the other one know

 

[Apple OC]

that's the thing with EB and CL ... they are hit and miss, win some lose some.

I avoid them both.

[Apple OC]

reputable sellers online.

 

[86nji]

but you won't get unique items buying from them will you!

 

[Squilly]

Back on topic -.-
How should I get my money back, if I can? I paid through PayPal and through my bank (money deducted from my bank into my PayPal to pay the seller. Should I just file a claim on both?

 

[ucfgrad93]

I'd file a claim with both. That said, I don't think you will get your money back. Good luck though.

 

[Demonface]

Ah, a future Ken Lay or Bernie Madoff.

But not as good.
