Ebay ended my auction, Need advice

[Evnp]

Not sure what forum I should be in. I had 3 dishnetwork receivers with 3 cards up for auction. Someone used buy it now and ended all 3 auctions. They immediately paid for the 3 auctions. Then I get email from ebay about violation of vero program blah blah blah, and they removed my auctions and credited all fees. This all happens after the auctions ended and I have been paid by credit card through paypal.

I have every intention of sending the items because they have been paid for. What I now question is whether the recipient could reverse the credit card charges claiming the auction was removed. Is this something I should be concerned with? Should I play it safe and send back the money?

I do not even know why the listings were ended. I only put "receiver and access card" in title. In the description I put 288-02 card and according to system info screen revision 380. Nothing else could possibly be a problem. Even what I listed is obvious information, from the card and from the system info screen. Perhaps dishnetwork is a little paranoid.

I'd talk to the buyer. He probably knows exactly why they were removed ;) From what I hear of ebay lately it is a no-no to talk about card revisions. Post a pic of the card and sys info screen in the future.

Yes, any talk about card revisions or even card type (IE Hu card) can be grounds for Ebay pulling the plug on the grounds of sales with intent to pirate.

I would contact the buyer and ask what they want to do

Dish Networks will also end auction for broken receivers with cards since they cannot be sub'd. Since the cards can only be used in that receiver they can only assume that you are up to no good trying to buy or sell them.

I would ask the seller via e-mail if they still want them due to the auction ending and retain the e-mail as a type of proof. Also if a charge back happens from a verified paypal account all paypal ask for proof is a tracking number showing that you sent something. I would also retain that as proof. You should have no trouble.

Good Luck!!!

But do NOT in any manner reference anything DSS-related in a PayPal transaction. First, PayPal's new policies prohibit any transactions involving cards, loaders, programmers, EMU's--you name it. Furthermore--and I know this as a fact--PayPal monitors transactions to look for DSS items. When they find them, such info, including the account holder's personal info, is turned over to DirecTV willingly, without the latter even demanding it. No court order is needed, either.

The thing is, you really can not complain about it. It would be like calling the police to report that someone stole your drugs. Not that I think what was done was illegal. You just do not want any red flags given the current state of things. It does not seem right that someone can not sell their property because it could be used illegaly.
