I hear you - I made the mistake of letting a 'friend' use my ebay account once and he sold a heap of stuff then didn't send them out and kept the oney. As a result I was thrown off and banned for five years and up until then had run a very successful shop selling babies clothing. I was devastated but I was also addicted to it and then had to change my ways and get rid of the 'friend'. Sometimes things happen for a reason :)
OMG! I was banned from ebay too.
I can't believe your friend did that. I'm sure Ebay didn't let him keep the money, Right?
I don't get why people go on to scam, Because usually it bites them in the butt later.
Were you ever able to get back on Ebay? New account maybe?
hi ya - he kept the money, withdrew all of it from paypal, moved house and didnt give me his new address and locked me out of my own ebay account by changing the password. I managed to shut down paypal and had to email all of the buyers to mop his mess up, and to get his new address. I was locked out for over five years, until my name eventually fell off their alert system. They suspended my account, I sent all my ID papers off to Ebay in Ireland - twice to get them to give me access again, then one day I tried to log in with my name as a password and it let me in again. He also withdrew all of the cash in my australian bank account and overdrew it, and I had loads of charges to pay for which i put on my credit card. Then my credit card was overdrawn and I had to take out a Trust Deed to pay it all back. It was a total nightmare that I have only just recovered from now - 7 years later!
Definitely! But the Amazon audience is a big one So If I can stay tapped into it, I definitely want to. Lol.

Ughh.. What a horrible person for doing that. I can't believe a "friend" could be so rotten.
