Good morning everyone, Good morning @patrick@ebay , that’s really a bad joke from eBay, isn’t it? Good day mmstore74,we are getting back in touch regarding the email we sent you about our policy on bidding on your own items. Due to the current activity we have detected in your eBay account, you can now buy and sell items for 3 days. We know this is frustrating. However, measures like this help keep our marketplace fair for everyone.Please remember that on eBay it is not allowed to place bids on your own item through another eBay account in order to increase the item's price or make it seem more popular. This also includes bids from family members, friends, roommates, colleagues, or online acquaintances.Here is what you should know:You cannot buy items or list new items for 3 days. Make sure you continue processing your existing orders so that the items reach the buyers on time.To avoid further restrictions, please read our policy on bidding on your own items.I've been complaining here for weeks that people are bidding on my items, that they either don't pay for them or cancel the purchase right after the auction ends, and now I'm being accused of bidding on my own items — what a joke. https://community.ebay.de/t5/Vorschl%C3%A4ge-und-R%C3%BCckmeldungen-zur/Spa%C3%9Fbieter-und-Nichtzahler-nach-ablauf-der-4-Tage-automatisch/td-p/4965840 The current case is someone from Austria who isn't paying, and there was only 1 bid for a very high starting price. Could you please help me with this? Thank you in advance. Best regardsMarc
