That would make this even more risky for you.

What would you loose if eBay bans you (all your accounts) and will not listen to you/make an exception?

I hope you recorded that conversation.

The eBay rep you spoke to had no idea what they were talking about!

They most likely did not realize eBay pays eBates all that money - and a higher % than ebates passes on to you.

The eBay fraud prevention department does not take kindly to this sort of thing and you are not the first person to think of this!
