Nope, I'm seeing it with Live Listings too

www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sop=10&LH_BIN=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=free%20comic%20book%20day%202016%20doctor%20who&LH_PrefLoc=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

again look at the top item and then click.

I first noticed it during the week when some Wordery items were being listed with a postage amount and thought it odd then.

I get Free>Free there

I've also seen it change from one look to the next!

Ahhhhh, UW Computron invoice received and my paypal is saying my accounts suspended! I'll need to PM Karl as well as that'll delay me paying for the stuff I've bought from him.

Does anyone have any experience of this? I sold a high value collectible on ebay which is completely different from what I usually sell so theyve suspended it until the buyer tells them it's legit?

[blueshift]

They should tell you why it's suspended. Not heard of that as a reason, but if you've not been selling much and then suddenly get a load of money coming in it might raise a flag under unusual activity (ie signs you could have been hacked and your account is being used by someone else. Happened with my ebay account a few years ago!)

[Philip Ayres]

Just to clarify: your eBay account or paypal account?

Its just my paypal. My usual selling history is computer games and the occasional low value figure. This was a £200 toy though.

That's exactly what has happened. I don't sell a lot but once every year or 2 I'll get rid of some stuff but it's usually Sega Saturn games up to a maximum value of £50. They did send me an email prior to selling this asking me to check my recent activity and since I sold this it's frozen my balance as the activity is out of the ordinary for me. It does day it will release it when the buyer is satisfied with the item. I'll try and screen dump it you can see the exact wording.

[browny87]

its to protect the buyer I guess, I never had this and I buy and sell all the time so I reckon blue is right; its classed as unusual activity

I bought a gameboy advance backlit screen, a gameboy advance case (finally biting the bullet on that mod) and some artwork!

All the gameboy stuff is from non-UK sellers, so it's a bit of a roll of the dice! We'll see!!

[Dezzeh]

Got the 3 Aerialbots I needed, cos why not.

I nearly bought Energon but I was pretty sure I did already have that. I do. So that was a painful experience avoided.

Another 15% off code seems to be available on ebay today and tomorrow.

[Pinwig]

I got an email saying that, but it said 15% off "our selected range" and I can't see how to work out what that is.

[Bogatan]

Its on most things, click on any auction and under the biddy bit theres a box saying you could get this for (insert 15% redection in price). Put the code PRESENTS in during checkout.

I have used it far more wisely than last time, no Energon DVDs this time. Oh no.

[Pinwig]

Ah, so it does. Ta. That seems to work more widely than I'd thought. Ooh, choices.

[Philip Ayres]

Not books though :-(

[Pinwig]

10% off "almost" everything until midnight with the code PEACHY.

Min spend £20

[Pinwig]

15% off site-wide until 8pm with the code POWPOW15
