Oh, I'm sorry PatThePirate, you can't hear the inflections in my voice. I hope you didn't think I was scolding you. I apologize if I came across that way. I wanted you to know your innocent act of possibly testing the system in that manner would probably get both your son's account and your account suspended. I didn't want that to happen to you, a fellow ebid seller.
Others who had innocently tested the system in this manner had their accounts suspended. Also, family members who live in different households separated by hundreds of miles had legitimately purchased a single product and had their accounts suspended.
So even though we spread the news about our new businesses through family and friends, unfortunately family can hurt us with a legitimate purchase. However, if you ever have a problem with the ebid system, contact ebid and explain your situation/problem. (support@ebid.tv or support@ebid.net) They are very helpful and understanding people, and respond quickly.
Again, I apologize if I came across harsh, Pat. That was certainly not my intention. My concern is It would look bad to to your customers if all your auctions are up and running but have your name "striked out" with no way to get into your account. Just looking out for a new ebid friend.
Wishing you a great day and many sales.
Oh, and I've been there too... staring at my screen wondering what the heck am I doing wrong now?!
Best wishes - Maxx
