Hello checks.mo.welcome-no-paypal,

We appreciate your participation in the eBay Community Forums. This email is to

notify you that we are revoking all privileges for posting in eBay Discussion

Boards, Chat Boards, and the Answer Center for a period of thirty (30) days, for

the following policy violation:

Including profanity, vulgarity, hate speech, disruptive, or hostile comments,

interpersonal disputes, or threats of violence in a post. For clarification of

this policy, please visit this page:

http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?threadID=200062944

Generally, a sanction of this length becomes necessary due to the number of your

posts that we have removed and/or because you have received sanctions in the

past. At this time, we strongly encourage you to take the time to review the

Board Usage Policy and the policy explanations located at the following URLs:

http://forums.ebay.com/forum.jspa?forumID=2005

During this sanction, you may continue to bid and list, and you will be able to

start posting again after 30 days. However, it is important that you do not

register and/or use an alternate User ID to post on or sign into any eBay

Discussion Board, Chat Board, or the Answer Center during this sanction. Doing

so is a violation of the terms of this sanction, the Board Usage Policy, and the

eBay User Agreement, and can lead to an indefinite sanction of your account(s)

and/or a suspension of your eBay account(s), which removes your buying and

selling privileges.

Once your board sanction is over, we respectfully request that your future board

activities comply with our guidelines

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important matter.

Regards,
