Ebay seem to be a law to themselves.
I was suspended and warned for using trying to sell a PSP I chip I hadnt bothered using.
They said I was encouraging pirating, I pointed out that I preferred to make back up copies and retain originals in mint condition to enable selling at a later date using only the back up copy for my exclusive personal use and not at the same time as the originals (which stayed in the box). At the time and I believe still this case, this is entirely acceptable and lawful and is why the discs say "dont make illegal copies" the illegal bit being the key.
(I was tempted to ask them if they knew it should actually say unlawful because an illegal is actually a poorly bird but I though it would wind them up too much
)
They then replied that Sony objected to their machines being modified, I pointed out that it wasnt sony's it was mine I'd bought it (not so sure on this point reverse engineering and all of that) but could they please provide evidence beyond doubt as opposed to their opinion that I was encouraging pirating.
No reply other than "youre suspended" :lol:lol:lol:lol
At the end of the day Darwin especially if you ask nicely (doesnt matter how insincerely ) they'll let you back on because theyre making money on you.
