You are listing multiple auctions of the same item, which is not alowed. Thats my guess

Real estate
<LI>Real estate laws and commission structures differ dramatically from state to state. Because of the legal complexities regarding the sale of real estate, real estate is not permitted for sale
The sale of alcoholic beverages
Alcohol is highly regulated in the UK and US. For example, sellers of alcoholic beverages must be licensed, and must take steps to ensure that they do not sell their products to minors. Due to the many difficulties inherent in Internet alcohol sales, eBid UK will not permit the listings of wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages on its website.
There may be instances where the particular collectable container is unopened and still contains an alcoholic beverage.
The sale of collectable containers will be permitted as long as the following conditions are met: The value of the auctioned item is in the collectable container, not its contents. Thus bottles of wine are not permitted because their value is based on the wine in the bottle, and not the bottle itself.
The auction description should state that the container has not been opened, but that any incidental contents are not intended for consumption.
The item must not be available at any retail outlet, and the container must have a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the alcohol in the container.
Sellers should take steps to ensure that the buyer of these collectables is of lawful age in the buyer and seller's jurisdiction (generally 18 years old in the UK, 21 years old in the US).
Buyers and sellers must ensure that the sale complies with all applicable laws and delivery regulations in carrying out the transaction.

Perhaps this will help those who are not sure why their auctions are on hold, Good luck and I hope that you are all reinstated soon

multiple auctions? thats news to me! I have an ad in classifieds, and an auction as well.

Actually i can't even be bothered trying to login any more, haven't been able to do it for 4 or 5 days now, and can't be bothered asking the reason any more.


Cheerio Ebid, give me a shout guys when you give explanations for things and provide proper custmer service. last time I had a problem, you replied after 6 emails and that took about 10 days.

havent the time to waste anymore...so bye

[TaraCM]

have you tried emailing support@ebid.tv ? emails are usually answered within 24hrs... make sure you put in a email title coz if its blank, then they wont think its important
'Tis a shame to go... especially seeing as its 75p gold lifetime membership day

Ebid say the keep trying to phone me on my home landline number but some of us have a thing called a JOB and cant be sat at a computer all day long.

If EBID are making the effort to telephone you- why are you not happy?. It's not EBIDs fault if you are not in. Have you provided them with an alternative land line number?

Ok, I had about 30 items listed they were then deleted by support because the item title did not correspond to the item that was listed which was fair enough as the description did say not, x, y,z just to get more hits. My account was suspended but then support reactivated me.

I then selected the items from my posted items to relist - purley for speed and then went into the items individually to change the titles and my computer crashed.

The next day in my lunch hour I tried to log on to change the titles and my account has been suspended again.

I emailed support and told them what had happened and asked to be reinstated - I have yet to have a reply - this was a week ago.

I have been emailing them everyday asking them to reinstate my account but they aren't even replying to me.

I have never had these problems with support as they are normally excellent and reply within a couple of hours but this time I am really p*ssed off!!

I am just glad that I didn't have to pay for the privelige of selling on ebid - how can we persuade people to join and boost the awareness when things like this are happening.

This started on the 12th and is still ongoing
