NARU ? ebay cleaning up or Messing up?

seemyauction · December 28, 2006 4:27AM

I know of 9 ebay sellers some are coin dealers, that have recently received the covenant "No Longer A Registered User" statis....and like myself that has recently been NARU'ed can not get back on and don't know why we were NARU"ed in the first place.......I was a gold power seller with over 10,000 positive feedbacks.....when I sopke to ebay power seller support they suguested I start a new ID.....WTF.....They said my account was not NARU when they look at it.

I think ebay has installed some software to help them clean up but instead it is messing up......

Anyone else having this problem or know of someone else having similar problem?

They didn't tell you why you were NARU'd?

Okay, I'm confused.

Your web site lists this seller for your eBay auctions:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZknobleymtn

Your sig line lists this seller:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcoins2currencyQQhtZ-1QQfrppZ200QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0

Neither one has anywhere near the "over 10,000 positive feedbacks" you claim to have. What is the NARU'd ID that has all this feedback?

I too noticed a favorite seller as being NARUd. I inquired as to what happened but have not heard from him. All auctions and dealings I've had with him were straight up and fine.

No clue whatsoever as to why? No problems at all up to this point?

The NARU'd name is public-auction

ttown · December 28, 2006 5:25AM

I'd keep after them. If you built a bussiness with 10,000 feedbacks why would you want to start over with another name?

The email I received stated I was being suspended for suspicious activity what ever that is.....

So does anyone else find it hysterical that a user named "public-auction" would have nothing but private auctions in his feedback?

"I know of 9 ebay sellers some are coin dealers, that have recently received the covenant..."

Do you mean "coveted"?

Might be an indication of what the suspicious activity was that eBay detected.

OK I'll then why can't the power seller customer support folks I talked to on the phone tell me why I got the boot and why do they tell me I'm not suspended? They claim my account is in good standings and is NOT NARU'd........

And Russ I do not take offense to your statement "So does anyone else find it hysterical that a user named "public-auction" would have nothing but private auctions in his feedback" instead I offer this, I list private auctions because when I bid there are people that search my bid record and out bid me. If the auctions were private they could not "Follow me around." I offer the same privacy to my potential buyers. I have an ebay drop off location, I sell other peoples items with that ID not my items, I could care less what they bring I make my money on the service not the sale. True some folks won't bid on a private auction but look at the feedback my satisfaction rating was not too shaby.

Wasn't my statement - but, only because I didn't think of it first.

Russ, NCNE

seanq · December 28, 2006 5:55AM

That statement wasn't Russ', it was mine. I didn't mean any offense, I just found it extremely ironic.

Now to offend you...

You should also be aware that, in addition to offering bidders security from bid stalkers as you say above, some unscrupulous sellers will use private auctions to hide patterns of shill bidding. It's very possible you had one or two legitimate, dedicated bidders who bid mostly on your auctions, and that pattern of bidding would be enough to get eBay to raise red flags on your account.

One suggestion for you, too - if I had to abandon an account with an 8,000+ positive feedback rating, I'd give a link to it in the About Me page of my newly created account. I would want my current bidders to know they weren't dealing with someone who just found eBay last month.

KurtHorn · December 28, 2006 6:01AM

Actually after looking up your old feedback... might be a good thing to be rid of them. You've had 45 negatives.

Sorry for confusing you with Russ.....That is a good idea......I think I'll use it.....Thank you

Most people that were that worried about being "followed around" and being bidded out of auctions would just get a sniper and forget about it.

ttown · December 28, 2006 6:06AM

That's why I wait until the last 30 seconds. It actually saves me money because I don't have time to think about it so I just do a max bid and I either win or I don't.

Russ · December 28, 2006 6:06AM

<< suprised you thought item might be tiffany when its marked 'MADE IN CHINA' >>

Ok lets get your numbers straight

All positive feedback received: 11045
Members who left a positive: 8407

which means there were
Return Customers that left Pos 2638

Members who left a negative: 45

Positive Feedback: 99.5% (Geico insurance company nationaly advertises on TV a 97% satisfaction rating)

I would rather have the rating 45 out of 11,090 is not too bad in my opinion......

For a general merchandise consignment seller, that's actually pretty damned good. Take a look at some of the isoldit franchises. Most of them have TERRIBLE feedback.

It is funny because we stated in the auction its made to looks like Tiffany but its marked "Made in China"
The buyer never read the description, we offered to refund and the buyer left negative.....

You called the Power Smellers hotline, you need to call the security people. They can tell you what is happening.

fcloud · December 28, 2006 6:20AM

If your auctions weren't all private, we could see what they said.
