Seller suspended from Audiogon...

I am following a couple of preamps for sale by members. One was a Primaluna that was a bit over my price. However, the owner was kind enough to answer some questions. The seller had good feedback for previous transactions. I was browsing today and saw the amp was not there and looked up the member. Now it says "suspended" by his screen name. Just curious, what are the general reasons people get suspended on Audiogon. Looks like he had a good selling track record in the past. Just curious

A few causes for this:


Fraudulent activity
Suspicious activity
Posting the same ad after it's been sold
Posting 2 or more ads for the same item

You have to be cautious when buying from people. I have been burned 3 times by sellers with really no discernable integrity. Lots of scams in the audio world. The biggest edge many have is that " we all tend to believe what we want to believe" and many sellers capitalize on that kind of susceptibility. I am not stating anything about this seller, but he might have been suspended for justifiable reasons which are there to protect buyers.
