It has happened to friends of mine, a year ago, and was the topic of conversation over some beers. They too just wanted to sell some old or unused computer and electronic "crap", that others might find useful. Instead, banned for life!

A lot of these online companies have become plain whack with the algorithms, policies, and customer service. They just don't care, as long as they are making money. Only when it starts to hurt them financially, will we see them start to care.

People have to "vote with their feet", and simply not use disrespectful and unfriendly companies. When enough people are using eBay alternatives, that's when they will start to "investigate" their policies and treatment of users.
