I just got off the phone with a representative of ebay, YES! I said phone.
They have a phone in the office. I know many of you doubted, but I can
confirm that they own at least one phone.

I have had this problem that every time I try to access my account (which
was opened in the US years ago) ebay 'suspends' my account. This has
happened a number of times and they always are adamant that my account was
compromised and someone tried to access it, despite the same scenario
playing out over and over again, obviously being me every time.

So I've given up and decided to open a new account. Unfortunately they
decided there was fraud activity on it as well.

I called them this morning (night for them) and discussed both accounts with
the rep. He was quite understanding (the reps in the past were zombies) and
said he'd discuss the situation with management to see what they could come
up with.

If they don't do anything, it's likely my involvement in the ebay community
will officially come to an end as they are overly hostile to anyone in
Africa and make it impossible to use their service.
