3:04:46 PM	Henry Y.	Hello. My name is Henry.
3:05:01 PM	[eBaiting]	Hi
3:05:05 PM	[eBaiting]	You must be a supervisor
3:05:11 PM	Henry Y.	What can I help you with?
3:05:14 PM	[eBaiting]	I get transferred a lot
3:05:21 PM	Henry Y.	Yes, I'm Amy's supervisor.
3:05:24 PM	[eBaiting]	Nobody wants to talk to me
3:07:01 PM	Henry Y.	I noticed Kenny mentioning that we won't be able to assist you further in live chat about your account closure. Do you have any other questions?
YES!! They’re talking about me with each other now!!
3:07:18 PM	[eBaiting]	Yeah why can't I be assisted anymore?
3:08:11 PM	Henry Y.	I don't have to remind you that Kenny told you to wait 14 days before coming back into chat. Can I ask you to confirm your IP address. Is it [a certain IP, not even close]?
3:08:19 PM	[eBaiting]	I do not know
3:08:24 PM	[eBaiting]	It is not a static IP
3:10:51 PM	Henry Y.	Can I ask if your ISP is [a certain ISP]?
3:11:03 PM	[eBaiting]	No it is [my actual one]
3:11:14 PM	[eBaiting]	Whyfor do you ask?
3:11:23 PM	[eBaiting]	Are you trying to scare me?
3:11:28 PM	[eBaiting]	Because you are not succeeding
3:11:35 PM	[eBaiting]	I am not committing any crime by being here
3:11:46 PM	[eBaiting]	Are you going to complain to my ISP?
3:11:54 PM	[eBaiting]	If you can even find my real one
3:11:59 PM	[eBaiting]	The worst you can do is end this session
3:12:16 PM	System	Henry Y. has left this session!
Good doggy. [Total chat time: 14 minutes.]

2:59:41 PM	System	Connected with Lawrence
2:59:46 PM	Lawrence	Hello, thank you for waiting and welcome to eBay Live Chat! My name is Lawrence. If you're a registered member, may I please start by having you confirm your User ID and first name?
3:00:11 PM	[eBaiting]	You mean they haven't told you about me?
3:00:21 PM	Lawrence	Pardon me?
3:00:26 PM	Lawrence	No, I'm sorry. I don't believe we've met! What brings you in to Live Chat today?
3:00:31 PM	[eBaiting]	I thought they warned everyone about me
3:00:40 PM	[eBaiting]	Yesterday I was getting xfered to supervisors right away
3:00:46 PM	Lawrence	What seems to be the problem?
3:01:06 PM	[eBaiting]	I have been trying to close my account for 189 days now
3:01:13 PM	[eBaiting]	But eBay will not do it
3:01:36 PM	Lawrence	I see. I'd like to help. May I please have your User ID?
3:01:54 PM	[eBaiting]	[My eBay ID]
3:03:01 PM	Lawrence	I'm sorry but apparently we've explained to you your situation with your account several times yesterday regarding the closure of your account.
3:03:11 PM	[eBaiting]	Yes I know
3:03:15 PM	Lawrence	Do you have any other eBay related questions that I can help you with?
3:03:27 PM	[eBaiting]	And since there is nothing else I can do
3:03:29 PM	[eBaiting]	I am doing this
3:03:46 PM	Lawrence	Do you plan on selling on eBay anymore?
3:03:50 PM	[eBaiting]	Never again
3:05:26 PM	Lawrence	The reason why you are not getting much help is because you log into multiple chats and ask the same question over and over again. This makes it hard for us to help other members when you do this.
Here it is again. Confirmation that eBaiting has an impact. Keep in mind it's still just me doing this.
3:05:35 PM	[eBaiting]	That is the whole point
3:05:40 PM	[eBaiting]	Just close the account and I will go away
3:06:11 PM	Lawrence	Your account is pending termination. If you do not sell any more you won't be charged any more fees. I strongly recommend that you just wait for your account to close. You will not incur any more fees if you stop selling today.
3:06:21 PM	[eBaiting]	I haven't sold in over 6 months
3:06:33 PM	[eBaiting]y	The only reason it's still open is because eBay screwed up
3:06:33 PM	Lawrence	What you've been doing (logging in and out with multiple chats) honestly won't help you.
3:06:43 PM	[eBaiting]	Yeah I know
3:06:45 PM	System	Lawrence has left this session!
3:06:56 PM	System	Allison B. has joined this session!
3:06:56 PM	System	Connected with Allison B.
3:07:06 PM	[eBaiting]	But it will hinder you
3:07:31 PM	Allison B.	Hello, my name is Alli and I am a Supervisor at eBay.
3:07:48 PM	Allison B.	Please confirm your I.P. address and location.
3:08:01 PM	[eBaiting]	I do not know my IP address
3:08:36 PM	[eBaiting]	Henry Y just asked me the same thing
3:09:01 PM	Allison B.	Is it: [Same IP Henry Y. gave]
3:09:07 PM	[eBaiting]	How do I check
3:09:33 PM	[eBaiting]	It is not a static IP

She never got back to me, and eventually I was disconnected. Guessing she made a note of whatever of my current connection info she could see, and moved on.
