If you venture beyond auctionbytes via links there or by following recommended searches, you may want to have your popcorn, hip-waders, air travel sickness bags and Nomex full body suit on.

This sordid affair looks to be deeper and sleazier than anyone can imagine!

Griff just surfaced for long enough to make a post on the ask Griff thread. Looks like he's slithering away with his tail between his legs to me. I'm laughing so hard there's tears in eyes.

What is the term I am looking for? Punked? owned? emasculated? omg, so funny I could blow chunks laughing.

[GoodbyeEbay]

Almost forgot to ask. Is this tied into that Paypal counterfeit purse thing where Paypal resold the fakes instead of destroying them and they ended up back on ebay?

[cappnonymous]

Not sure if it is or not. But let's put it this way, it's not exactly unrelated.

Finally i got suspended my account i knew they will do it again... cappnonymous --- let me know if you need any help to build some videos :)  haha :) i dont have skills but i can help you with anythng..

[cappnonymous]

Thnks snukos. So they gotcha, huh? Sorry if I'm laughing a little. Just think though, some people tried mighty hard for months or longer trying to get their accounts closed.

Seriously, you are probably lucky to get away before they go down for the count. There is nothing there to be relied upon. Unstable...Unpredictable. You just never know... Look what just happened with PayPal India.

Best wishes to you. :)

They are suspending people now for mentioning alternate sites. That should solve the problem, right?

ROFLOL! etards!

[EBAYVICTIM1]

yes,is ebay full of lies and nonsenses as usual !!! send a letter to president Obama,put ebay on court! ebay lies and nonsenses got to end !

[Bonanzleisit]

Sure, choke the special reporting team that has been helping Ebay keep fakes off. Good move Ebay. Sanction them for smiley faces all in the name of rules that are only applied to the Purse board. It's become obvious to the rest of us that Ebay doesn't want to fix the fake problem. This will continue to get worse. The only thing left to do is to report the fakes directly to the Design Houses! I hear LV will fine Ebay $1400 per future violation. Ebay deserves it.

@pursecouture

I remember when that happened. They caught them dead in the rights as I remember. The weirdos came out of the woodwork then too. Seems funny when anyone speaks out about anything revealing to do with ebay they get a gaggle of schizos come after them. Seen that happen time after time after time now. What are the odds? About the same as the odds of all the paypal glitches I'd say. ROFLMAO.

Yah, the AHEM PayPal return address in Texas for counterfeit purses....and the addess was for "Liquidation Services".....huge facility they have there "Google Earth Is Your Friend"

I bought two counterfeit purses on eBay in 2008 (separate sellers) and filed complaints. One I was told to keep and the second one I had to return to PayPal at the Texas address to be "evaluated".

Apparently counterfeit purses bought on eBay are all equal, except some are more equal-er, just like sellers

Nice vid and to the point

Yep ebay is a joke when it comes to the forums that are full of eBays PR department and some of us got so sick of posts being deleted in the UK that we publish all the deleted posts on eBuster but it looks like we need to include the USA forum too.
