Sigh. Ideas, anyone?
"We are writing to inform you that we recently ended all listings for
seller (withheld) on eBay. The seller's privileges to trade on eBay have
been temporarily suspended while we investigate this matter further.
(The current account status can be viewed next to the user ID of the
seller on the eBay site.).
Our records indicate that you were a participating bidder or buyer in
this seller's listing. You will need to use your own personal judgment
in deciding whether to complete this transaction.
As described in our User Agreement, eBay is only a venue, and we cannot
guarantee that sellers will complete transactions nor can we guarantee
the delivery or quality of bought items. As a basic principle, a buyer
should know with whom he or she is dealing before sending a payment to
a seller.
Depending on the circumstances, you might decide to delay payment to a
seller until completely confident that the transaction will be
completed safely. If you decide to delay payment but already paid by personal
cheque, you may wish to contact your bank to discuss whether it would be
possible to stop payment on the cheque. If you paid with a credit
card, you may wish to contact your credit card company's security
department to discuss this payment, many companies provide protection in
certain circumstances. If you paid by money order, you may want to contact
that money order company for information on how to stop payment.
Please note that the ending of the listings for this seller is a
precautionary measure. The grounds for this suspension may be the result of
a mistake or misunderstanding.
Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)"
