Hi all
After some opinions (good or bad) from some relatively sane people, that's you lot
Just got a lifetime ban from a website and in particular their classified section
Anyone who knows me might find that a bit surprising or at least I hope they would
My crime was to offer to buy something via paypal "gift" and ask for their paypal address
Admittedly I didn't have any trader feedback although I did state that if a search was done on their site it would show several purchases going back over six months
The seller seemed reluctant and enquired whether I could provide references to which I replied that seeing as they would have the money and the goods it was irrelevant
Apparently that seemed dodgy and for questioning why my integrity was doubted I got a lifetime trading ban for not providing details in line with their policy. This was the same punishment as if I had actually ripped someone off and all I wanted to do was pay
Thought about it for a while and couldn't resist a parting shot (not foul or abusive) at the moderator to which he replied that he was very upset by my words especially after he saw my age (50) no I don't know what that's got to do with it either :?
Was this a fair banning or if it happened to you would you feel a tad miffed?
Cheers
Rich
