On 18th of October I have got an e-mail from eBay stating that due to "-- An unusually high rate of buyer protection cases being opened." my buying rights are being restricted for 14 days. Additionally - I am being PERMANENTLY and INDEFINITELY removed from eBay Buyer Protection program.

I have called eBay twice after these mails and spent close to 40 minutes on the phone. So far - no proof of the above statement (An unusually high rate of buyer protection cases) has been provided. Currently - I have only one open case against a seller who can not proof that the item is even shipped. Case was opened more then 45 days after the shipping supposedly took place.
I am really puzzled what to do here as eBay keeps telling me the same story all over again and refuses to lift the restriction on my account - although there is no valid reason for this punishment is communicated.

Please help and tell me - anybody else having such experience as buyer?
