You will be aware that I have had some wrangles over the last couple of weeks. We have now decided to call it a day and walk away from Ebid
All our auctions have been removed and I will be closing the account from the main site and the forum.
The wrangles were about why I had been singled out for banning. I linked to the retail - web - directory and because of that I was banned. I repeatedly asked for information as to why I was banned and yet others were blatantly allowed to mentioned sites such as ecommercebytes (which is exactly like our site in that you can add all your ecommerce links). Others were allowed to link to Ebay in auctions and about me pages, others were allowed to add their telephone numbers to listings, others were allowed to link to link farms in their auctions, others were allowed to link to their own ecommerce enabled sites, display email addresses - etc etc etc. All these I had reported (and I know others of you have also) and they were not acted upon.
And I got nowhere, no information except that it was a web directory (Yes but so are the others I kept shouting back), until yesterday when a little addendum was added to their reply email which explained everything............................... It is nothing to do with whether they see them, or if they get reported, or who reports, or even who is on duty to see the report. It is another very specific reason
Well, I told them I would not tell you all about what they had written, and as a man of my word and principles I won't
Suffice to say I decided enough was enough
Now let me say that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with what they said, I I have suggested they are open about and tell you all. It may even help. But that is not a a decision I can make for them
So good luck to you all and I wish you continued success both here on Ebid and elsewhere. And I really do hope that Ebid continues to grow and prosper.
