Unfortunately the reason the bills were so high was that an ebaY glitch was causing balances in seller accounts to double, triple and even quadruple, even though the sellers did not actually owe ebaY the money. This did not stop ebaY from preventing the sellers from listing, even when the sellers contacted ebaY and ebaY acknowledged the glitch. The sellers remained shut off from listing. Some sellers reported this happening 2 months in a row. ebaY claimed the problem would be fixed by 20 May, but sellers are still reporting the problem. Warning! Sellers check your accounts and make sure the amount you were charged on the May invoice is correct. http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=2000370350&start=120 ******************************************************** UNANNOUNCED REVISION TO EBAY USER AGREEMENT AND PRIVACY POLICY ******************************************************** In a move that is in direct violation of the ebaY user agreement, ebaY has made a change to the ebaY user agreement and privacy policy without announcing it on the ebaY announcement board. The agreement is immediately effective for user IDs registered as of 16 May 07 and for users registered prior to 16 May, effective 9 Jul 07. Some ebaY users received an email on the subject dated 21 May 07, but this was not a universal mailing by any degree. For example TAG received the email on one of 10 accounts registered on ebaY. Interestingly the account the email was received on was not an active account, nor the only one with the option allowing ebaY to send email. A quick read of the agreement and privacy policy appears to give ebaY the right to read and censor all email sent using their system, something ebaY said it would never do (as a matter of interest last week ebaY blocked an email with promotion information sent to another user through the ebaY system, so communication between users is now closed unless involved in an ebaY sale - so much for community); permission for ebaY to exchange all financial and other personal information between ebaY and PayPal and any other ebaY company, something ebaY said it would never do; permission to allow ebaY to share, sell or rent your financial and personal information to anyone they want, something ebaY said they would never do; permission for ebaY to personalize ads based on your personal and financial information that they have gathered and saved about you, something ebaY said it would never do; in other words it abrogates everything that would protect your personal and financial information from being exploited by ebaY in any way ebaY desires - and since you sign the user agreement by using the site - ebaY feels you have no recourse - and only a court of law will change that. In addition ebaY is once again playing with the copyright of your information - images, listings etc - and though they have always sworn that the only reason they have the copyright privileges of your material is so that they can post your listings on the site, they are trying to once again twist this so they can do whatever they want with this information. Once again a successful class action, suit by state attorneys' general, or government action will be the only thing that gives ebaY users any rights at all - since ebaY continues to pervert what community means into whatever is profitable for ebaY insiders. ******************************************************** THE AUCTION GUILD and eTRADERS GUILD www.auctionguild.com Not just a venue http://www.auctionguild.com email us - tag@theauctionguild.com ******************************************************* All trademarks are the property of their respective owners Copyright 1999 - 2007 The Auction Guild Inc All rights reserved Visit our site here: http://www.auctionguild.com/ If at any time you would like to be removed from our mailing list, please go to this web page to unsubscribe: http://www.auctionguild.com/unsubscribe.jhtml?cid=17800677 __________________ Capp Vids \| Capp WP \| Tweetstream Exposing the sleazery of ebaY and PayPal**
