This morning I noticed that when I went to EBAY's site map to see availability of functions I found that both bidding and viewing buttons were RED and unavailable-I checked the announcemnt board and found no mention of a problem- I posted this on the chat line to see if anyone else had noticed it- EACH TIME THE POST WAS REMOVED- If these sites are unavailable then no one can view items or bid on them- I had tried to access another EBAYERS page by name becuase I didn't remember the item number and it would not work -=If there is a problem with the system why not let us know??????????????

Ironically, I had just gone to the area where the status board WAS, only to find it completely GONE!

It's just as well, since it rarely ever was a reflection of reality.

In order for ebay to remove a message posted there had to be vulgar or obscene meanings or words in it.

What "chat line" did you post on? There are a lot of chat boards on ebay. The most common ones are User to User Q&A, The Cafe, and Discuss New Features.

That's funny, REAL funny. I've seen a few HUNDRED posts removed from the DNF, and very few of them contained vulgar or obscene meanings or words.

$100 says if you post the following on the Discuss New Features Board it will be removed before you can say ..... Wuz Up Cuz?

Well, maybe not quite that quick... But unless the pinks where asleep, they would nuke it in a matter of minutes.

Hello there,

I have read your comments on the UK chat board and would be interested
to hear more about the fraud you are experiencing and see how we can
help.

Since eBay is an online company, we do not offer the option of phone
support at this time. Currently, our focus is to provide support to our
community through the use of email. We do not have the resources to
provide the high quality service on the phone that our community
deserves.

We are, however, very keen to help in any way we can via email.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Best wishes,

Henry N.
eBay UK Customer Support

Oh well, ha ha, excuse the error. They will zap for personal information, ebay personal information, looking crosseyed at the pinks (didn't know they could see you, did you?), talking about other sites, threatening to leave for other sites, advertising other sites..all on the DNF board.

The DNF board is a different breed. No one I talk to will even go there, let alone utter a word because of the flame throwing to users as well as ebay.

For the most part, ebay will not remove a decent post. For DNF, count on almost everyone being removed at one time or another for any of the reason above.

I still would like to know which board the person posted to or is this a troll thread?
