Question:
If I understand this correctly, if the B&M shop had a file on that customer in which they had indicated the reason for the banning, they would be obligated to share the contents of the file. Am I wrong? I don’t believe that’s correct. Why would they?
Perhaps to prove it wasn’t racial/gender/religious discrimination? -Bertha — PROGRAM (pro’-gram) [n] A magic spell cast over a computer allowing it to turn one’s input into error messages.

Response:
A B&M shop would be required to hand over infprmation. My curiosity here is why the OP gives a &at’s ass. She ain’t gonna do business with eBay again. Is she just being vindictive because they canned her, or does she have a valid point?
She probably thinks that if she knows the reason she can explain why it’s wrong and that this will somehow be a useful course of action

Then she has to post the reason here. Publicly

Assholes still have every right to decide who they will, and won’t, do business with. If a retailer bans someone from his B&M shop he doesn’t have to give a reason. Why should eBay be different?
If I understand this correctly, if the B&M shop had a file on that customer in which they had indicated the reason for the banning, they would be obligated to share the contents of the file. Am I wrong? The difference is that the b&m shop probably wouldn’t have such a file. —-== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com – Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==—- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups —-= East and West-Coast Server Farms – Total Privacy via Encryption =—-

Response:
I had an ebay account suspended, and I never found out why. I have absolutely no idea why my acount was naru’d, and ebay never said. I never had a single trouble with any buyer or seller, and only ever received positive feedback. I would like to know why I was suspended, and the above information is very interesting to me. It is within the rights of companies to refuse to do business with customers. However, I believe that it is morally wrong for companies to refuse to do business with people but refuse to give a reason why. And, it appears that it is illegal for those companies to keep information about people and not allow that information to be inspected. Sharon, do you know the address that I could contact to request information about my account under the DPA? Cheers, Ross-c

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – In reply to all: There was an implication that someone was assuming my identity. My account was suspended and I asked them for details so I could inform the police. They refused to provide any information at all and refused to communicate with me. The IC found that they were in breach of the DPA for failing to communicate the reasons even though I had proved who I was. Nothing sinister on my side at all. In answer to the other point, here a shop and e-bay is entitled to refuse your business but this is nothing to do with this situation. This is about information and the Data Protection Act entitles people to understand what files a company holds and there is extra laws in a situation such as this where it is common sense that they should disclose it so that further criminality could potentially be avoided. By the way it was a buying account not selling. Jeff
Wait a minute, Sharon-Jeff. First you said you had NO idea why your account was NARU, now you come back and tell us that they did tell you. It sounds to me that you fell for a phishing scheme. Kris

For all of your tough talk about legalities, you certainly don’t understand eBay, Jeff-Sharon. There IS no such thing as a "selling account" or "buying account". There are just accounts. Kris

Sadly, she has. I’m not sure anybody really gives a rat’s ass there, either. — Remove underwear when emailing me.

Non-compliance of e-bay with the Data Protection Act 1998 finding by the Information Commissioner. I’m posting this on several sites to encourage any UK member who have had problems with e-bay when in breach of the DPA, to make a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner. In my case the IC has concluded that e-bays failure to supply me with the cause of my account suspension was in breach of the DPA. They found that having suspended my account and their refusal to supply information that they say they had on file was in breach of the DPA. They have instructed e-bay to comply and warned them that this complaint will be held on file pending the receipt of any further complaints from the public, when further action may then be considered.

Ah so you fell for a phishing scam then and handed your password over to a hacker. Very intelligent of you, if you are that stupid then I wouldn’t want you as a customer either. — I.P.Freely Anonymity is synonymous with longetivity
