Hello everyone, so many of you are emailing me about my missing ebay =
items, so I will email the list. It seems that last night ebay decided =
that after SEVEN years and many thousands of items sold, that they do =
not know where I live so they suspended my ebay account and closed my 65 =
auctions.=20
    I was extremely surprised when I got home last night to that small =
bit of news. Like many of you I have been inundated with spam email =
scams regarding ebay and paypal. They are using html to make emails that =
look legitimate, asking for account updates. I have been sending many of =
them back to ebay. I now use a spam blocker and am able to bounce emails =
back to look like my email address is false. It seems that I actually =
bounced a real one back to ebay, thus they assumed that my email is =
false and shut my account down.=20
    Unbelievable that the smammers are getting away with stealing =
millions, and I get my account shut down. I am working with ebay and =
should be back up an running same as always shortly.=20
Yes, the 65 one cent very nice items will be back up when this gets =
resolved, I think they might be relisted by ebay like they were with all =
bids intact, but I am not sure.=20


Thanks=20
Mike Farmer
