Community advice team?? - waste of space even when you get hold of them!

[5129frederick]

I started a thread on FHG which was removed later that day even though there was nothing inappropriate on my side.  I wanted to know why.  "Chat to us" just kept referring my back to preset Q & A.  When I did manage to get through to somebody, they kept asking what the item number was.  After explaining three times it concerned a discussion thread which I'd started, not an item I was selling, he said: "Sorry, I'll have to refer to to one of our specialists."  On comes a second person, still no wiser even though he has the full text in front of him.

"What is the item number....?"  I explain all over again - it is not an item, it is a thread started by me ...I have to explain everything I did, so he could do the same.  His answer?

"Sorry, I can't see it up there on FHG.  Maybe it's been removed..."  I told him to have a nice day and switched off.  And guess what - after twenty-two minutes, I didn't swear - not even once!  Now isn't that good - doh! (roll eyes.)

*waves to Alan.......

Did you bring choklit with you?.....them's the rules you know....

[alan_uk@ebay.com]

Hi - No choklit unfortunately, I'm on a diet

[5129frederick]

I have just read it - all it says is post removed.  

End of story - no explanation - NOTHING !    At least that's an advancement on your "Advice team! "

I'm still no wiser.  Maybe you just want half of us to sit on the side and do nothing.  You have a copy of the transcript - if you don't think I was going round in circles, read it!  Staff could do with extra training.

As a moderator you have a right to remove anybody's thread - I have an equal right to moan.  It is only by receiving constructive criticism that eBay are in a position to improve the quality of their services  Anon, Fred.  (Final message)

Yes but I'm not......that's no excuse.......

Thanks for the Hobnobs Twishy.  Is it a silly question or would you like a Quality Street?  Sorry but all of the purple ones have gone along with the green ones.  I wonder where they went.

[5129frederick]

I guess I take myself a tad too seriously sometimes.  I did have my faults - I used to be conceited, but now of course I'm just perfect.
