A little over a month ago I started buying and selling on ebay. I purchased some items and I sold two items I had 5 star ratings on all transactions. After the sale of my second item they cancelled all my auctions and terminated my account. They said they would send me an email explaining why. They sent me an email that told me absolutely nothing of any use. When I called to discuss it they said they would not discuss it and that I was banned from the site forever. Well I am a disable retired married man in my 60's just trying to sell a few things to make ends meet. I was astounded at their attitude and humiliated. Next they send me a bill for my transactions and I called them about that and in short I decided that I probably owed it and allowed them to debit my checking account for the $34.00 in transaction fees. Today I get a notice from a collection agency for $89.00 saying it had been turned over to them by ebay and there was no explanation. I have no money for a lawyer, how can I join in on a class action suit against them. This is no way to treat their customers.
