I have had so many different ebay accounts that I really, really can't count them. Just sign up again.
They have my contact info somewhere. I have never gotten a collections notice. |

Bet you won't think it's funny when you go to finance a car or a house and your credit rating is shot to hell over $2.35.....

If they have contracted with a company to do all their collections they very well may pursue it. ding... |

No shit. Do you actually owe that money? If you do, be a man and own up to it. Pay your damn debts.

that is sad.
I had a boss once who had the local hospital take a bill to collections on him. The balance? $0.00!! yet, they kept sending the bills with the $0 balance right on them. Then came the threatening letters. It went on and on.....

I just received exactly the same notice, except that the degree of my heinous delinquency exceeds yours by the princely sum of 5 cents.
Since this is all supposed to be automatically billed to a credit card account anyway, I think I'll let it slide and see what happens... |

You're so fucked.
They are going to run that through "the matrix" and it's gonna come back that you own guns. Expect a 3 am door breach.

You haven't said if you owe it--or if it is a mistake. If you owe it, I'd suggest you take Gloftoe's excellent advice.

I owed Dell $1.69 on a credit account I had. They wrote the debt off as a small balance right-off. I guess eBay makes there money off thousands of small balances though.

I'm not really sure what it's for. I'll look into it. If I owe it, I'll pay it, obviously. I just think it's funny that they're so gung-ho in collecting two bucks. |

Won't be funny when it is $52.32 after they add "collection fees" (read user agreement...

I have an ebay account from 2000 that I haven't bid on anything with yet.
seriously tho, e-bay ignores scam complaints. they try to pass the buck to paypal half the time (despte the fact that they OWN paypal). |

eBay sent a similar notice to me for a whopping $0.81.
I simply logged on, went to my account and paid via CC. November Bravo Delta |

Ebay is a joke sometimes. I actually got banned becuase of "Copy Right Infringement" ! It was nothing more than a JVC camcorder that I bought at Circiut City. Then they had the balls to try and charge me for the postings!

You know those guys selling Beanie Babies at the fun shows?
They're the ones who didn't pay their eBay bills.

Most of the time its competitive sellers who lodge the complaints about your ads to eBay. This tactic limits the competition and increases their sales.
They hunt key words akin to their product and scrutinize every detail about your listing in order to justify its closure. There are some real dirt bags on eBay. |

These assholes actually locked me for SEVEN CENTS. THEN they screwed up and kept me locked after I Paypalled them the money. MY revenge? 52 seven cent PMO's, one a week for a year.....sure it cost me a few bucks, but the delight I got thinking of how much THEY spent in time and money to process those paymants was worth it!

That sent a chill down my spine. I don't want to end up like those guys! I logged in to my account to see what it was - the charge was from March for something that I don't remember selling, and they didn't have the description available. I was just going to blow it off, but then I thought "Hey, I don't want to be one of those guys selling beanies at gun shows, I'd better pay" and coughed up the two bucks. I'm now in the clear! |

That's a great idea! Too bad I paid them earlier today. Maybe I should have offered an AR15 30 round mag spring and green follower in trade.
