Once, maybe. Twice, maybe not. Three times, no, he's
not learning from his "mistakes" he's deliberately
trying to cheat the system. He needs to be relieved
of the opportunity to continue to steal from others.

Steal? An image of an item the seller already sold? Maybe against
policy right, but hardly a reason to banish an entire family.

Should the more mature and smarter father step in
and admonish, correct, discipline the kid? Yes,
but there wasn't one in this case. Instead there
was a father with no more sense of right and wrong
than the offender kid.

It was an understandable mistake. There is a difference between
spilling a drink and pouring one on the good carpet.

They both are a liability to eBay, a company in
business to make money, not hold the hands of whiners
who say "but the other guy didn't get caught".

You have a right to complain when policy is not enforced uniformly
across the board.

Fascinating lot of work and energy for a problem
that could have been resolved months or years
ago with ONE simple change in practice. Or even
simpler if years earlier the dad would have
taught the kid some basic ethics about taking
someone else's property.

You were the "OPERATION" game voice?
Yes. Take out wrenched ankle.

Gee Lumpy you are so full of crap it explains why your eyes are brown.
I wasn't considered a liability to ebay for the past year while they
collected hundreds of dollars of user fees.
The listing removals occurred simultaneously for two different
violations, so 2 strikes.
Yeah he was wrong to used the cell phone photo in his listing, but
seeing as though the phone was sold, what use did the previous seller
have for it?
I am not arguing his removal here or in the other thread, I'm arguing
mine.
If I was really a crook I wouldn't have shipped out the hundreds of
dollars of stuff that I sold the day my account was suspended. I
would have kept it and the money.

My kid is in college now and not a scammer, just someone who didn't
read every word of every page of the terms of service and when he did
something that dozens of others were doing and assumed with that many
doing it it had to be okay.
Tell me Lumpster if you where going down the highway doing 70 and
people were buzzing by you at 85 and a cop pulled you over, wouldn't
you at leats scratch your head?
