Thank you, eBay (2)

While unfortunately we cannot attribute our success to the power of the blogosphere, we would like to note that since our last post about eBay choosing to suspend us (and one more very stiffly-worded mail to their customer support), they've seen fit to reinstate us.

We received a reply (which again took about three days) that assured us our mail had been thoroughly read and that our concerns had been noted, and that based on the information we'd faxed and another review of the circumstances our account had been reanimated. We're a touch sceptical about whether eBay has any Japanese-reading personnel who could have deciphered our Japanese-language documents and actually done the "review" they claim; we're apt to take the response we got as the closest we're likely to get to an admission that they ballsed things up.

In the meantime, we'd found the item we were looking for elsewhere; it's going through Japanese customs as we speak...
