Now for a question - I posted this question on this board a few days ago but had no reply: How can I tell if I have been converted to the new billing system?

If you look at the following invoice header and this matches the one in you 'MY EBAY' sellers account then you are still in the OLD BILLING SYSTEM. My copy of the New Billing System invoice header has bite the dust from a glitch in my email server where it was stored. If someone wants to send me a new one I will post both of the invoices so you can see the very marked differences.

MRS R and GANG, You are doing a WONDERFUL job, try not to get too angry and discouraged from the naysayers (media, EBAY, etc.!). At my second job (part-time in a consignment shop), I have already run into 3 different EBayer's who have been having problems with their accounts. It's so weird because EACH ONE OF THEM had NO IDEA that others were having the same problems! None of them even knew that these boards existed! They do NOW though, and one is even making up a poster to hang on the door of the shop to inform other unknown EBayers of the problems, how to get to this board, AND THIS LINK http://www.fazmiclaw.com/eBay.html. I'll keep you updated on any responses we get from this. Here is the header for the OLD billing system invoice;

Here's another interesting read;

Again, Bea... how does this post fall into the violations listed? Oh, I see. There is a link revealing your little stock decline. We wouldn't want that news to spread now would we?

Why, thank you, Bea. Perhaps you could take the time to show me exactly how this post pertains to your noted alleged violations. It would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I see. Was it the link to my personal web space or the CLASS ACTION SUIT that causes you so much concern?

Again, eBay declines to note a specific reason for the slap. It is clear that eBay is less than thrilled about a link being posted revealing the decline of their stock.
