5:08:57 PM System Lev has joined this session!

5:08:58 PM System Connected with Lev

5:09:07 PM Lev Hello, thank you for waiting and welcome to eBay Live Chat! My name is Lev. If you're a registered member, may I please start by having you confirm your User ID and first name?

5:09:37 PM [eBaiting] Name = [My name]

5:09:43 PM [eBaiting] User ID = [My eBay ID]

5:10:05 PM Lev Hi [eBaiting]! How are you ?

5:10:10 PM Lev How may I help you [eBaiting]?

5:10:20 PM [eBaiting] My account is acting up

5:11:53 PM Lev I can see [eBaiting] that your account is near termination already.

5:12:02 PM [eBaiting] Ooh, near termination

5:12:05 PM [eBaiting] That is better than last week

5:12:13 PM [eBaiting] Last week it was "in the process" of termination

5:12:16 PM [eBaiting] I wonder what happened?

5:12:59 PM Lev Now, what you can do is don't access anymore your account as eBay is now working on your account's termination.

5:13:13 PM [eBaiting] Sounds good in theory, but...

5:13:26 PM [eBaiting] If I don't access it, how can I know if it is still active?

5:13:34 PM [eBaiting] eBay might just be sitting on their butts not doing anything with it

5:13:41 PM [eBaiting] And if I do access it they may keep it open

5:13:45 PM [eBaiting] Catch-22

5:15:20 PM Lev I can assure you [eBaiting] that eBay is working on this already, now there is a 14 days allowance set last May 2 to terminate your account.

5:15:30 PM [eBaiting] May 2?

5:15:37 PM [eBaiting] Should have been April 30

5:15:40 PM [eBaiting] That is when I closed it

5:15:50 PM [eBaiting] See this is what I knew they would do

5:15:53 PM [eBaiting] Keep dragging it out

5:15:53 PM Lev So on the 15th hopefully the account is permanently closed [eBaiting].

5:16:06 PM [eBaiting] Hopefully, right

5:16:10 PM [eBaiting] And if it isn't?

5:17:10 PM Lev I can assure you it will as there is a note/alert already in your account that it will be terminated permanently [eBaiting].

5:17:20 PM [eBaiting] But you said hopefully

5:17:28 PM [eBaiting] That means you hope, but you are not sure

5:17:40 PM Lev Sorry If I use the word Hopefully [eBaiting]..

5:17:42 PM [eBaiting] I am sure of something

5:17:54 PM [eBaiting] If it is not closed on the 14th, things will happen

5:17:56 PM Lev I can assure you [eBaiting].

5:17:58 PM [eBaiting] For I have spoken

5:18:37 PM Lev I understand.

5:18:54 PM [eBaiting] I do not think Trust & Safety does though

5:18:55 PM Lev It will be terminated [eBaiting].

5:19:07 PM [eBaiting] They seem kind of... out of touch with the rest of the world

5:19:18 PM [eBaiting] Have you ever seen any of them?

5:19:25 PM Lev Believe me on this [eBaiting], it will be terminated.

5:19:32 PM [eBaiting] How can you be sure they even exist?

5:19:49 PM Lev Yes, I do. And they actually work on most cases here at eBay.

5:20:06 PM [eBaiting] What are they like?

5:20:14 PM Lev Because I was from Trust & Safety team also before , but in the Spoof Department [eBaiting].

5:20:28 PM [eBaiting] It must be nice working there

5:20:35 PM [eBaiting] You never have to answer phones or chat with people.

5:20:44 PM [eBaiting] That would be nice

5:20:56 PM [eBaiting] Is eBay taking applications?

5:21:12 PM [eBaiting] And do you have to work in CA ?

5:21:17 PM [eBaiting] Because I don't want to move there.

5:21:24 PM Lev Yes, since they need to document every report and they handle the most sensitive issues at eBay, they still need time to carefully review all accounts before sending information to the member.

5:21:35 PM [eBaiting] There is smog, and wildfire, and loony leftists

5:21:49 PM [eBaiting] Of course where I am we have self-righteous rightists

5:21:52 PM [eBaiting] They are just as bad

5:21:57 PM [eBaiting] All things in moderation

5:22:10 PM [eBaiting] That is what I say

5:22:15 PM [eBaiting] Like right now, when I just said it

5:25:05 PM System The session has ended!

[Total chat time: 17 minutes.]
When I jumped in again I got Jerry M, who didn't seem to recognize me as the porno guy. Or maybe she was still embarrassed over it so she pretended not to. I did get passed to Meridyth again, Meridyth of the triple disconnect burger, and she remembered me.

5:41:22 PM Meridyth What I can do for you today?

5:41:53 PM [eBaiting] Ok I guess I won't get disconnected, we've had a few back-n-forths

5:42:00 PM [eBaiting] I'm just checking on the status of my account

5:42:04 PM [eBaiting] Today is the 193rd day

5:42:14 PM [eBaiting] And to reassure everyone I'm not going away until it's closed

5:47:04 PM Meridyth Let me check on the status. But If I am not mistaken, last week we informed you that it will take two weeks before it gets closed.

5:47:28 PM [eBaiting] Yes and before that it was 180 days

5:47:34 PM [eBaiting] Today is the 193rd

6:02:45 PM [eBaiting] Why?

6:02:46 PM Meridyth Even if we chat for hours, I cannot close your account right now.

6:02:49 PM [eBaiting] Why?

6:03:06 PM [eBaiting] Why?

6:03:18 PM [eBaiting] Why?

6:03:28 PM Meridyth We have informed you already about the status of your account.

6:04:23 PM [eBaiting] Why?

6:04:45 PM [eBaiting] Ok I think I ran out of Why? jokes

I just left it sitting and eventually was disconnected. But since this was Meridyth I'm not sure if she ended it herself or had another technical glitch.
