hmmmm... ok.. thank you for suggestion number 57 of the exact same thing
Sorry, didn’t see the previous 56.
But I figured you needed the help with a basic issue. Won’t make that mistake again.
you better not... i really mean it
:P
“cancelation email specifically said it it was due to some ‘hateful activity’”
Hateful activity? You have been away from ebay for years.
Dunno. Bogus email + ebay account deleted due to inactivity seems more likely than ebay scouring the internet for your posts, figuring out that they belong to you and then taking action against an inactive account.
Somebody might know. They might even post the answer here. I would expect the odds of that are extremely low, but better than zero.
Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
While we await a posting from someone with direct contacts (and it could be a long wait), I would offer mere speculation:
If E-Bay does have a program to "Purge the Enemies of the Regime", they are doing it on the cheap and out of sight. Maybe using interns or H1-B slaves. Lots of mistakes happen.
They matched up a wrong name on a list. Or the list has a lot of wrong names on it. Or somebody else has the same name as you. It is essentially a random pick.
That could happen with either manual or automated systems. The key point is one you mentioned earlier, there is no provision in the E-Bay system to appeal such classification.
They don't care. There are plenty more customers out there (so they think).
Very likely there is quota of purges that must occur every quarter for some department manager to show that he is doing his job. That is why you were selected for a ban "for hateful activities". Just a roll of the dice, really.
Perhaps they were purging old and inactive accounts, and the intern reviewing the list selected the wrong reason code for closing the account.
Example: (001 - Inactive, 011 - Hateful activities).
Misteaks happen. Often.
Ebay is NOT a liberal-only site. Just look at what can be purchased to test that theory.
Was your ebay account accessed by anyone while you were not there, and used to sell objectionable material, or post objectionable reviews?
This is very interesting.
not gotten a response from eBay yet.
It appears to me that it must be one of a few things, all bad:
1) someone hacked my account (unlikely)
2) eBay is now looking at your posts on OTHER sites, to determine your social score
3) some butt-hurt libtard didn’t like something I posted, so did a search for me on all other sites they could think of, and reported me.
I believe #3 to be the correct option, just based on experience and recent events online on other sites.
