Thanks for that folks, not just me then!
I WILL be taking my business else where, but in the following month, I intend on running my listing bill up as I pay it from my paypal account...credit card on file expired...so guess what when they want paying their $5,000 THEY CAN GO WHISTLE! I will obviously empty my Paypal account first!
I am looking at Craigslist to build business - but can anyone tell me how I can sell product, dropship to US customers using Craigslist I have purchased 3 ebooks on successfull selling using CL but none tell me how to do this?

I can attest to this unacceptable behavior by Ebay.
We had a fairly large presence on ebay, being Gold Level Powersellers for over 3 years with over 98% pos fb, bringing ebay a large sum of money with ebay listing fees, final value fees, paypal fees etc. We were contacted a few months ago for the same reason stated by grahamg, ebay stating that they would decrease our selling capacity if we did not work to have the neg fb removed.
We decided that ebay was going in a very negative direction and it was just not a good fit for our business. We removed ALL ebay listings and spent the $5000 a month we were spending with ebay each month on additional website advertising, and it was the best decision we could have made. The best part is that we no longer have to deal with the Ebay/PayPal conglomerate or the many rude customers and/or non paying customers on Ebay.
And I used to be an advocate for Ebay - too bad for them.
In my opinion, if you can take your business elsewhere, I would do whatever it takes to do so. The future of ebay is questionable, best to get out now.
Good luck. Feel free to PM me anytime.

I have a feedback of 1970+ gained in under 17 months, with 2 negative and 2 neutral feedbacks ONLY this month...and a grand total of 99% Positive feedback - they even told me they will withdraw the Powerseller Support to me because my behavious isnt acceptable.
I told them that I will think about paying them at the end of the month when I have run up some HUGE Paypal Fees...there response was that they will review my 'situation' in 30 days!
What ticks me off is that i've done NOTHING wrong - the negs and neutrals were from people who purchased my information product then blaitantly copied my listing PLUS image, I asked them politely to remove them only to be told rudely to go away - so I reported them to Ebay and they had their listing removed and left me the bad feedback - is it me or is Ebay going to the dogs?
Im now using alternatives to Ebay.
