Is Ebay Big Brother??????????

I went on my ebay account this afternoon I am selling 8 items and last month I only sold a few records. I get this message saying that I can only sell twenty items or $500.00 which ever comes first. Or you could upgrade your selling account. I am getting ahead of myself I have 100% positive feed backs with a high rating. I clicked on the area where you can up grade your account to sell more items. First it said they can call you, and you give a four number pin or 2. you can answer four questions. I picked to answer the questions. My account is in my girlfriends name, which it had all that info, Question 1 was I guess to throw you off track, it asked where did someone that I have never heard of lived and it gave you one place close to  where I live, and two in eastern Pa which is miles from here, the fourth option was (you had never heard of this person) that is what I picked. Question 2 It asked where does my girlfriends ex-mother in law live by her married name, ok my question is, how the hell do they even know that they are related? The state was Florida were she lives. Question 3 Which street did my girlfriend live on at one time again we got that right, but again where did they get this info? Question 4 which of these corporations where you ever associated with, and again we got it right where she use to work. I have no clue how they got this information from, makes me wonder maybe than George Orwell had it pegged that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
