It seems pretty stupid. I could see not wanting to take a bid from a newly registered account with no feedback, but if the account has been around and had clearly been used for real purchases, I just don't see the problem.

It seems like ebay is not really friendly in general to the casual user. I had an account for years that was probably only used a half dozen times. I tried to log in the other day, and it's apparently just gone. Couldn't log in with my credentials, couldn't reset my password, couldn't even retrieve my username. I guess they just blew it away for inactivity, no warning or anything.
