Gotta lay low for a while. This was a report from a shady seller, that ratted me out for outing a counterfeit card to a newbee bidder;

eBay warning. Recently we became aware that your eBay account was involved in the following activity:

* Transaction Interference -

Emailing buyers in an open or ended transaction to warn them away from a seller or item.

We realize that you may not have been aware that there was a rule against this activity. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to review the Using eBay section of our User Agreement, which states:

While using the Sites, you will not:

interfere with other user's listings

Please understand our goal is to help you understand our policies to ensure successful experiences at eBay. Therefore, we respectfully request that you refrain from this activity in the future to avoid the possible suspension of your eBay registration.


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

That sucks that it happens to legitimate concerns- but I can understand the policy. I've been burned on many an auction (modern stuff) where some know-it-all jacka**es from the Beckett boards emailed my bidders and told them the GU cards were fakes. They weren't and I lost a whole bunch of money. So-- it's a "slippery slope," but I can appreciate the policy behind prohibiting this kind of "intereference," it's just too bad it has to be across-the-board.
