Probably removed because you gave his ID and then called him a jerk and a deadbeat. Maybe less emotive language may have been better, but I doubt it. eBay wants it all to be "nice" - especially for the buyers. Phil

MessageThis really pisses me off. I posted our concerns about our Greek client on Ebay's Community Board and it was removed by Ebay. Here's my original posting and Ebay notice of removal (see below). They suck big time. FRANC Hello fdavidm, We appreciate your participation in the eBay Community Center We are writing to let you know that we removed the following post. <p class="mce-p">I belong to a group of sellers outside ebay who sellers movie moemorabilia. We exchanged e-mail with each other and have learned that there are at least five sellers who sell on Ebay who have been burned within the last week by a buyer named panosnatalia 1968 who has gone on a shopping spree and has not paid for any of the items he purchased. Worse yet he did that a month ago to us under a different Ebay name which is proficient911. He sent everyone of us the following e-mail :"<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black';"><strong>I'm really,really SORRY,! Please,understand the economic collapse of Greece is inevitable, and cancel the transaction. Forgive me for all the trouble I caused you, but,unfortunatelly, I am not capable of paying you. Money is so tied, and I foolisly got carried away with this item. I'm not a crook or a rogue trader. Just a simple joe, who made a mistake. Thank you, and please (again) I'm deeply sorry, so I expect your leniency. God Bless..."</strong></span> We've each filed disputes and received our Final Value Fees. We've even written to Ebay and asked Ebay to close this jerk's two accounts. It's been in vain however. Why won't Ebay investigate this dead-beats accounts. Why don't they protect their valued sellers? $B!! (J Why doesn't Safe Harbour do their job?

Channing posted the note below about a non paying buyer who is using two different useid's and who appears to have failed to pay a number of MoPo members. The userid's are proficient911 and panosnatalia1968 I filed Non paying Bidder claims for 9 items totalling more than $100.00 and didnt receive a response from the buyer. These claims have now been finalised and I have been refunded the commissions but I see that the buyer is still registered. Just curious as to whether everyone else followed up with the non paying bidder claims because if that was done then the bidder should have been suspended by now.
