Hi

Forums Members,

I was just wondering have anyone every got their account closed, shutdown or banned for no reason at all. There have been people I have talked to who have had problems like this, which is very sad. These are people who have ran their businesses online, weather it was an eBay store ect..

I will love to know weather anyone here, has been missed used by these services in this way or another?
If so! I will love to hear your story.

I was slapped by ebay a long time ago. That's about all. I have received warnings from forums - from which I learned from. But never banned.

I have heard those stories, too. They're on pretty much any webmaster forum you can find. But I've yet to see any credible evidence that it was "for no reason at all". When you dig a little further, I think you'll find that it was for violations of the ToS.

Never heard these stories. I've never been kicked by either of those companies.

I got banned from Google Adwords, but that is a normal thing right?

Improvepctools,

Not sure I understand the question. If you were banned, you probably were not following the terms of service. No, being banned would not be normal.

Not those companies, only AdSense (their rules sometimes make you get banned without having any fault).

I don't experience it yet and hopefully will not... Always a reason for banning a member is that he doesn't follow the rules of that particular site or just contact the administrator and ask for clarification.

On youtube, Paypal and eBay, it's easier not to get banned, but on sites that are related to Google, it's terrible, they ban you and don't tell you why!

Well, Google won't tell you specifically why, but they do publish a list of possible violations on their ToS. I think most people who are banned know pretty well why it happened.
