    EBay Boots Angry Users
    Polly Sprenger Email 12.10.98 | 12:15 PM
    EBay's system crash on Wednesday raised the ire of some of the online auction house's customers. Those who vented their frustration on the eBay's customer support board got a prompt response: suspension.

    "The moderated Q&A board is there for individuals trying to use the system," said Brad Handler, corporate counsel for eBay. "The support board is not there to comment on business decisions or management decisions."

    Users who posted inappropriate messages were suspended, and their messages deleted, Handler said.

    What eBay deemed "inappropriate" ranged from criticisms of management to references to recent press coverage.

    Tami Allison, an eBay user, posted a message complaining that she was losing money because of the system failures.

    "It looks like more items [are] being sold below value, because of eBay screw-ups, and especially because of poor management," Allison wrote in a message to eBay's support board.

    Rather than a suspension, Allison received a warning which said: "The purpose of the Support Q&A board is to provide site navigation and technical assistance to our users. It is not for users to provoke, attack, or attempt to draw Support staff into a protracted discussion of eBay policy or management decisions.

    "Please understand that continuing with postings of this type can and will result in a 24-hour temporary suspension of your eBay registration," the message read.

    Some users who were suspended said this was an attempt by eBay (EBAY) to cover up negative attention to the system shutdown.

    One poster said his message quoted a recent Wired News article about eBay.

    "In this very short message, I mentioned [Monday's] Wired article on ebay," said Craig Clarke, an eBay user from East Aurora, New York. "My eBay registration was immediately and permanently suspended, and the 'offending' message was quickly deleted from the system, so I couldn't even save a copy to prove its lack of offensive content."

    Handler said that an "appropriate" avenue for system complaints and angry messages was the company's customer support email address -- support@ebay.com -- or other message boards at the site like the "eBay Cafe".

    "We have an unparalleled customer service organization," Handler said. He added that that the support staff responds to every email sent in.

    Handler said he didn't know how many users had been suspended from the board.

    What started as a battle on Halloween has turned into a full-fledged fight with alleged spammers.

    Online auctioneer eBay, which publicly posts email addresses of its customers on its site, is waging a letter-writing campaign against those who pull those addresses off the site and then use them to send out unsolicited email.

    Ebay executives said the letters warn recipients that they could face legal action if they continue sending out unsolicited email to eBay members. The executives noted that the letters are a routine practice for the company.
