Has anyone had any experience with eBay accusing you as a seller of having ANOTHER eBay account with either unscrupulous activity and/or eBay fees not paid? They've now suspended my account until I clear up a SUPPOSED "other account" (which is NOT mine..they are accusing me of it being mine). For the record I have ONE eBay account (not multiple) in good standing w/ all my fees paid as agreed, 371+ feedback w/ no negatives since the 2nd year eBay opened which was 1999. Here is the original E-Mail below that they sent me after faxing requested info (drivers license, copy of bank acct statement, & receipts for items), which was followed up with me denying everything as I'm innocent, in which they replied back with "we cant give you any information as we've determined you own both accounts and your account will stay suspended until it is cleared up". Also, I tried calling eBay to speak to management, but they state their "Trust & Safety Deptartment" is E-Mail only. What to do, NT? Any advice? Shall I start with the Better Business Bureau? Would they handle such a case?
