[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 268884, member: 51"]Actually, I have no problem with the ban, but I honestly didn't know about it. Wasn't even sure it was real fur when I listed. The way Ebay implemented their notice really angered me. Here is what happened... Phone rings, "it's Ebay about one of your listings". At first I thought it was a scam call, but then they referred to the exact listing, so realized it was the real deal. I think in the auction description I wrote: "might be seal skin". Anyway, friendly person on the line, "just letting you know this isn't allowed"... meanwhile I've got the listing open on my computer and I say, "Oh, I'll just end the auction." "No, no, no! Don't do that. I'll take care of it for you, no trouble." The rep says in a friendly tone. I should have quickly closed it. Ebay closes the auction. 5 minutes later I get this 3-strikes-you're-out warning (or something, was a few years ago....) from Ebay. I now have "one violation" of trying to sell endangered species. If I get another, ....blah blah blah. Like I said, I actually do support a ban like this, but that Ebay rep was kind of a jerk.[/QUOTE]
