For those of you who were skeptical about eBay removing honest posts
from seller central then look at the hot link we provided below of a
screen shot of an entire thread. Our original comment with screen shot
images were # 54 in the thread but if you look now at the topic thread
you will see that # 54 has someone else comment. Our comment concerned
our sellers rating being in the top 10% of sellers on eBay and that we
had a over 50% repeat buyer status but were told by eBay that we were
no longer wanted if we did not take electronic payments. If the hot
link below does not work simply copy and paste it into your browser
and magnify it for a full screenshot of the entire discussion thread.
Below the hot link we have als included the link to the eBay seller
central forum topic as well....Enjoy the reading

WE ALSO THINK THAT THE SHAREHOLDER SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY SUSPENDED
US FOR 7 DAYS FOR POSTING AN HONEST COMMENT.....

I WOULD AD 2 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
 After you clicked on the hotlink run your mouse over the pic and
MAGNIFY it for a full screen shot

We posted these SAME 2 screen shots to other discussion forums on eBay
and they were never removed before.

Yeah,the brownshirts with the jackboots are really at it removing post
after post that might inform a new seller as to what will happen to
them.

Wonder how they feel about doing that,after all that's NOT what a
moderator does and until just a few weeks ago not their job. Their job
is to look for certain inappropriate language that shouldn't be in a
forum post,not be mommy to John Donohoe and his INSANE policy changes.

I don't give a crap anymore,I just closed my final account--that makes
three in ten days so I'm officially DONE on Feebay after nearly seven
years. Last year at this time I paid seller fees THREE times in 14
days at nearly $150.00 each time. He DonHOE,lets see those new sellers
that you claim are flooding in pay those kinds of seller fees. In your
dreams.......

Yeah I posted a thread a few weeks ago simply asking how long it takes
before seller restrictions are enforced when your DSRs drop below
4.1.  Within 12 hours the thread completely vanished.  At least I got
to see three answers before it disappeared.

"This email is to notify you that we are temporarily revoking all
privileges for
posting in eBay Community forums for a period of seven (7) days, for
the
following policy violation:

Advertising merchandise, auctions, services or commercial Web sites,
including
offers to trade, "wanted" posts, or charitable solicitations. For
clarification
of this policy, please visit this page: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/

Total f**king lie as usual. What I posted was that I was leaving ebay
forever because I refuse to pay any more selling fees for that FRAUD
called Best Match. I said I stopped selling on eBay but I'm still
going to be selling elsewhere. There were ZERO outright names in my
post like iOffer,Amazon etc. There were ZERO links to those other
selling sites. In fact within five minutes of making that post I
closed that account and was NARU. Those idiots at Live World suspended
me from posting this morning on an account that was already NARU 24
hours ago.

What really happened was one of their few and far between fanboy
cheerleaders dropped in and TRASHED my post--of COURSE they fully
allow and encourge those people to post like that by NEVER removing
their posts. After the DonHoe fanboy posted there were 8-10 other
posts condemming what he had posted. Of COURSE that just couldn't
stand on those "controlled" boards so they removed the entire thread.

Ebay is sooooo sad and laughable as they try ANYTHING to hold on to
what they once had. Monday and next week will be yet another five days
of DECLINING stock prices. Words out Johnny boy,nothing you can do
will fix the MESS you've caused.

I would suggest posting that email on www.firejohndonahoe.com

eBay lies all the time! Their word is total shiz! Just like this
Emovieposter thread that was pulled when Bruce announced he was
leaving eBay. I screen shot the thread before it was pulled.
http://www.suspendedfromebay.com/?p=126

The current management team must be complete morons!  Nobody in their
right mind would run there BUYERS off the site! And the Idiots just
don't have a clue that it is just that that they are doing!

You can see more about Bruce and the emovieposter thread at
PowerSellersUnite.com. He has made a few recent Posts there about how
well he is doing since he left feebay, and is more than willing to
help anyone else who wants to give feebay the boot. I am impressed
that so many are doing so well after telling feebay to kiss their a$$.
If you really want to know what many hundreds and hunfreds of true big-
time PS are doing now and how they feel about feebay, then visit PSU.
A real eye-opener for anyone who is thinking of investing in this
sinking ship.

Clay, fixed your post image, and shot the whole thread in case it goes
poof!

Here is another posting and screen grabs from March 2008 when eBay was
pulling threads on Seller Central board. http://www.suspendedfromebay.com/?p=83

They LIE so much i swear they believe there own lies!

""In this article on pcmag.com: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2273210,00.asp
“EBay denied that any forum deletions were intentional. If any posts
were taken down “it was accidental,” the spokesman said. “We’re not
afraid of hearing from our community and allowing them to post and
discuss things and be angry on our boards.”"

"EBay denied that any forum deletions were intentional. If any posts

Bawhahhahahhhhaha......Well,that article is from March 8th of this
year. Are they STILL sticking to that line of BS??

We're not afraid?!?!?!?  Your SCARED to death and that's why post
after post are being deleted. I LOVE watching DonHoe and his company
IMPLODE right before your eyes.

@...d...@suspendedfromebay.com....Thanks for fixing that. I tried and
could not figure it out. The abduction software I use for screen shots
always copies it small with the magnifying glass option to inlarge it
on the mouse. If I need to do something different when posting to
www.firejohndonahoe.com  so that the images are large then let me
know. Thanks again and I hope my screen shots were of some help to the
shareholders.

I re-size images to 560 pixels wide and upload them directly to a
folder on the server, then click the "html" tab on Wordpress editor
and enter the image in html, (img src="www.image-source.com/
image.jpg") Substitute the ( ) with the symbols over the period and
comma. It's a pita to do but it eliminates the browser resizing you
see when clicking on a tall image.

As for creating screen captures, I like Snag It the best:

DonaHOE Must GO!!

Ebay Stockholders and Sellers Calling For Immediate Termination of
John Donohoe CEO

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?jdonohoe

Forgive me, but doesn't Ebay own forums.ebay.com? As the board owner,
aren't they allowed to  delete anything they want to on their forum? I
am not an Ebay shareholder, but I cannot see how it make good business
sense to host a lot of content critical of the company, at that
company's expense.

The topic thread title was... Can GOOD sellers unite and stand behind
Donohoe? I think we should! ......We had initially answered the thread
(sorry I don't remember the exact wording  but ) citing we were "good
sellers" in the top 10% but was not allowed to sell anymore on eBay
because we would not accept electronic payments.Electronic payment is
something we feel as sellers as extremely unsafe on the web and since
we had a 50+% repeat buyer status could truthfully say our buyers were
fine with our payment method of check or money order. eBay removed
that post....Our initial thought was perhaps we said something wrong
or eBay did not believe our statement so we re-posted our answer
showing proof of our being in the top 10% and the comment made by the
eBay employee pink saying we were no longer wanted on the site if we
refused to take electronic payments. since eBay themselves opened the
door to this topic by replying as they did in their pink statement we
felt we were not breaking any rules in posting it and felt that eBay
for whatever reason did not want the information viewed.

eBay was not at all concerned over our loose of revenue  from their
policy change even though we have sold in good standing for 10 years
and as good customers helped make eBay the billion dollar company it
now is. This is how we have been repaid by eBay. Thank You

eBay got greedy.  They MBA'd themselves out of my business.  It's too
bad too, because I was happy in August 2004; that's when the fees got
crazy and they started nickel-and-diming me.

I hate what eBay has become.  Let it die.  Naturally, I sold my stock
long ago.

Ebay sucks ass perk.
