This person emailed me telling me they got an email from Ebay saying their account was suspended and asked for my help. There is no scam or shilling going on. This person actually was quite upset about this since they did have active bids on the figurines in question. I'm not sure if the issue with their Ebay ID has been resolved. FIVELOVES has no idea why their account was suspended. But rest assured there is no scam going on. Connie Gaddy Distributor for Natural Gold Ferret Food [Posted in FML issue 4668]
