well if he is suspended for [ shill recuirting ] nancy deserves an opolgy for bringing this to light he was a bit too agressive defending his position in my book, and who ever said the buddy points system was a little bit to open was completely wrong.
i hope hes not suspended for shill recuiting but you dont normally lose your buddy points for a temporary ban
Re: Too Many Buddy Points!
Cant see that surely Ebid have safegaurds against it.

"Shill recruiting" is not is. Fabrication - made up term. Silly to speculate in here as to the reason. Only eBid really knows reason. Maybe Gazza will stop by and give us some insight. :(

He still has 154.841 buddy points. If his account is reinstated, those points are available and ready for acquisition.

Sorry to start this thread up again but I really would like some feedback. I had hoped to use the buddy points reward scheme in my own efforts at promotion. I've always thought of it as a fairly attractive plus to buying and selling on eBid. I had hoped to produce a page showing what I'd won, giving tips on earning more points and improving sales at the same time. This would be great if the scheme was wide open for anyone to win in the way it used to be a few months ago. Unfortunately it's of very limited use if it's totally dominated by a few people doing 'affiliate style' marketing (Jimbo, please don't be offended, I know you've been very reticent about bidding/sensitive about outbidding others. Also thanks for the boost in recent months). I had thought that the situation would resolve itself with the advent of the new affiliate scheme. As cmj was saying further back in the thread 'why would people bother with the odd electronic gadget that they may or may not want when they could earn many times over the value in cash' (or words to that effect). I would really like to know if this is correct? Are people swapping their efforts over?
ive had two people join to buy off me in the last 24hrs i never got any buddy points, i asked them and they joined via the main page

theres very little point altering a about me page if there suspended there of no use to him unless he is reinstated it will be indeed very interesting to see if he does get reinstated if he keeps the points and if he tells anyone here why he was suspended
