Its amazing how anyone could make your business on eBay even a decade ago. I got banned once for asking how much postage was to a seller!! As I was buying stock on eBay at the time, I inherently was emailing a lot of sellers for bulk buying etc.. It wasn't even a phenomenal amount of emails, maybe like 10 a day kinda thing.. got banned for messaging too many people... I could not function as a business under such stupid restrictions all the time never mind everything else I had to deal with....
Well that one is easy to explain from Ebays POV; too much server use(!), not enough money in their pocket!
Thats a straight blanket ban so they dont have to spend any money on their grunts to investigate further.
See? I love Ebay as much as you. :lol:

Oh cool.. Mostly it was the 0.5mm & 0.8mm I was trying to buy
https://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/21-10148/ ... dp/SD01747
I think the tips I have are about 1.4mm , they a bit to big for me to solder PLD legs. I should have really written down which tip I was using all these years :lol: :roll:
