I have a selling ID, Daffy, this is affecting me, and has the potential to affect my Sales and purchases.
Might I add Stalking IS a crime, and stalking is what is occurring, regarding the malicious reporting of my posts, this affects not only me but every individual that sells on Ebay either directly or indirectly.
The fact remains we have according to Ebay no real right of reply, and as Shane stated in his farewell thread, until the new Address is posted Members of Ebay do not have a direct method of Appeal, nor does it seem likely there will be one in the near future.
The fact that my feedback shows I have not participated on that ID in any transactions recently is Moot.
I HAVE been sanctioned, the accumulative effect of these slaps can and would eventually lead to the termination of my Ebay account, thus no longer permitting me to buy or sell on ebay due to malicious reporting of my harmless posts.
The Ebay automated moderation system does not look at the content of posts reported it merely removes and auto sanctions (slaps). I replied to each and every "slaP" and got no response at all, nothing.
I then had to Email Shane directly, it is clear from his reply to me he also did not read it properly but gave a canned reply, likely due to his imminent departure.
I have copies of the content of my posts and one of which was "Hi Guys" the sanction reason given to my two word "Hi Guys" was ( Interpersonal dispute and or harrassment), I'm not seeing any harrassment or dispute in "Hi Guys", do you?
I appreciate your input Daffy, and I hope this answers your question satisfactorily.
