eBay glitch wipes out 11 year-old account without a trace

The first bug has bitten hard at Stefan Waldman, a power seller who woke up last week to discover that his eBay account had mysteriously vanished. The account, which had the user id "stefan," was established in 1996 and had racked up a 99.7 percent positive feedback score from 717 comments.

Several weeks worth of posts on GFY were lost due to a tech fuckup, I don't see The Register write about that. :Graucho

Check your subscribed threads. Looks like they restored the db from a backup that was weeks old.

Yeah sure :1orglaugh
Oh wait. Ofcourse, how could I be so stupid.

A power seller is actually somebody who sells power to dominate the world. He sold his whole stock to Bush a few years ago and now they shut him down because he was going to sell power to countries like Iran :1orglaugh

"Of course" it was the NSA :1orglaugh

Damn he will probably go into a deep depression or off himself... Those power sellers work hard for ratings like that over that length of time.
