Geordie582 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) I used to browse coins on ebay and bid and buy occasionally - but - they have now blocked my ident and password saying I am a security risk. This I could accept if I had viruses but a scan with AntiVir and the "malicious program debugger" from Microsoft can find nothing! A long list of bugs was given by Microsoft, all clear. I wanted to appeal the blocking, but the only help i got from ebay was to be told to log on and go through the appeal procedure. You've guessed it! I can't log on because I'm blocked! Anyone else been in this position? and if so, what's the answere? Edited October 26, 2005 by Geordie582 Quote
Rob Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Are you sure someone hasn't hijacked your account? Are you sure the notice of your blocking comes from ebay? I get 2 or 3 spoofs a day asking to confirm details or telling me my account is suspended or about to be. Your feedback doesn't say that you are no longer a member which I think it would do if they had suspended you. Try clearing cookies, temporary internet folders and history and run a virus check and something like Spybot if you can. If you can't find anything unusual, try again. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Yes, those bloody spoof emails claiming to be from ebay (and often paypal and some banks) annoy me more than spam at the moment. Quote
Coppers Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Usually I just forward them to spoof@ebay.com (or spoof@paypal.com). Quote
Geordie582 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 It was ebay alright. Their customer services email confirmed it. I guess I'll just have to cast the site into the dustbin! Probably a good thing. I have bought some good coins there but some duds also. It maybe teach me to be more picky although my main past-time was buying coins that were doubtfully identified and trying to calalogue them correctly. Quote
Geordie582 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Oh! and by the way, I'm selling an item on ebay, so how I'm supposed to service the deal when the auction finishes, I have no idea! Quote
Peter Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Have you been upsetting a few folk .There are so many muppetts I don't bother anymore...From Mr Pratt who thought his 1936 vf 1/2d was very rare and deserved a starting bid of £15....i pointed out £1 max and my history of 40 years collecting and was met with a torrent of gobbledegook....about spinks,pricing and grading.Geordie try speaking to ebay....it may be a pain sometimes but those coins DO APPEAR.

Geordie582 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 OK! I've cracked it! I'm back on ebay by subterfuge. I have registered again, using 582geordie instead of geordie582, and using a Switch card instead of Credit Card. So now you know! A silly thing as, once registered, they put me staight to the coins pages!!! Do you reckon they know what they're doing?? Quote
Geordie582 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Yep! But I'm not bothered. As long as it doesn't interfere with future bidding Dislexia of the fingers again! Edited October 27, 2005 by Geordie582 Quote
