    Did you ever get an email from Ebay asking you to go to their website and update your account information?

    If you did, you've been scammed and should shut down your PayPal account immediately. Getting new credit cards might not be a bad idea either.

    Nope. I figured out the 11.00 ones were mine, but they were EXTREMELY late. the the 49.30 one seems to match an ebay fee.

    I was suspended from ebay because I didn't pay my fees ( my bank info was wrong and it was set on automatic payment, so it kept bouncing and I kept getting charged) Once I was suspended I payed with credit card. They said I'd be reinstated in 21 days. I wasn't. I emailed them again, they said ANOTHER 21 days. And that was last week. Since them, this charge just came up again on my Bank account, when I paid it through credit card two months ago!

    EDIT: I am still suspended btw.

    There are two problems here.

    First, seems like you sorted out the PayPal payments but they were late. Lateness is usually related to either your checking account on file bouncing the first attempt that PayPal makes and it having to go through another try (can be up to 2 weeks with holidays and weekends) or PayPal having to try multiple funding sources on your account to find the money. Say they try your credit card, and it declines, then they try the checking account on file, etc etc. That can take a long time. Looks like it was an international thing too, that probably just compounds the problem.

    Second, your eBay account. I looked up eBay's suspension information for non-payment of fees:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/reinstate-billing.html

    Looks like it's not very serious and sometimes the results are immediate reinstatement. Unless you were also suspended for something else, this shouldn't be taking this long.

    The one thing I do know about eBay is that when you're suspended for non-payment, it tells you how much you owe when you look at your account status. There's a couple of links to check your account status on that help page above. Log in and see if there's an amount still owing on that page? Perhaps there was a fee for your declined payments or late payment fee that's causing the problem and you didn't pay enough.

    If you can't figure it out, I *HIGHLY* recommend eBay's Live Chat option, they have a billing option thats the one you'll want. It's located here:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/livehelp-billing.html

    It sounds to me like they might be talking about when the next automatic attempt on your checking account is going to be, because if you check out their help pages, that's 21 days after your invoice date. I'd get a live agent to help you out.
