How can i get banned on ebay?

Newbie needs advice. My ebay seller doesn't send me invoice after i committed to buy. Am i going to get banned from ebay?

  • I needed a few (5) products from an ebay seller who is overseas. Since the total shipping charges far exceeded the total product cost, i send him a message and asked him if he could reduce the shipping cost by using a single package. I even took a screenshot of my ebay cart and asked him for an approx regarding the total shipping cost. He replied that he could send them in a single package and asked me to add them into a cart and then contact him to ask about the price. Since i'm new to ebay (0 buys till now), i clicked on request invoice from seller on the top, as i thought this was what he had asked me to do. Following that, i clicked on commit to buy, and send him a mail asking him for the discounted shipping cost. This was 7 days back. The seller hasnt replied to me yet even after repeated emails. As I needed these products badly,  i found another overseas seller with the same products, and in a moment of stupidity, i added his products to cart too, and clicked on request invoice again. But now both sellers haven't responded to my requests for an invoice, and ebay sends me mails everyday asking me to buy the 10 products (5 each) i've committed to, whose total shipping costs alone make me dizzy. Why are both the sellers not responding to me? Was i being stupid by committing to buy, without getting a clear shipping price from the sellers? Is ebay going to ban me soon because of these 10 products i've committed to? Please help, COnfused newbie

  • Answer:

    Why are the sellers not responding? Most I the times the sellers on eBay respond quickly, especially if they are Top Rated Sellers. In case they have not got back to you it might be just because they have overlooked the mail. Do try dropping a reminder to them. Was it stupid of you to commit to buy? Not really, since you had already contacted the seller and asked him about the single package shipping. Will eBay ban u? No eBay will not ban you. Although it is possible that you might get a bad feedback score from the sellers. This is okay since you are not looking to sell anything on eBay.
