Yes, yet another spoof. Does anyone else get the feeling that everyone is out to cheat you these days! I get tired of the phone calls offering great prizes etc. and all the eBay and Paypal spoofs.

Amber - Easiest thing to do is go to ebay directly (not using the link) and try to sign in to your account. If you truly have been suspended you get a terse little note and a link to the form your email referrenced on getting reinstated. Also, a real suspension letter will be immediately followed by an email listing all of your auctions that were canceled.
My account got suspended a little while ago because I left an N out of "channel" and Chanel got rather pissy. Took nearly two weeks to get reinstated. In the mean time I got the "impending indefinately suspension" email at least three times. Had to giggle at that one.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

GT - There were two auctions that was done in. They canceled them the week before and I thought all was said and done and the next week they suspended the account. When I talked to the Powerseller Support on the matter they looked and said the other offense was some miscatagorized auctions. The guy was actually a huge jerk. "Well look at the these repeat offenses" Hey brainchild - look at the date of them....they were all on the same day and we are talking about such horrendous crimes as putting a necklace in a ring catagory. I had put together a few dozen new listings and forgot to change catagories. They sent me an email saying that the items had been relocated to new catagories, I went in and made the fix on the templates and went happily on my way until I got suspended for a typo. As aggravating as it was, it was also kinda funny.

Now that is stupid. I do that all the time. When I get a new breed of dog, I just copy another one and change the name, category and pictures. Sometimes I forget about the category and find out weeks later, I have a pug in the labs. Didn't know I could get in trouble for it. I just thought I had caused myself to miss some sales.
Be kind. Everyone is fighting their own secret battles.

jackswebb...that's fine. I guess these criminals are getting smarter all the time. It means that we have to get smarter too, and this board is one of the best ways to do it. I am so thankful to have somewhere to contact quickly for a response.
