I’ve been playing a lot more ice hockey recently and I’ve been having trouble with chest protectors. The ones I try always ride up and aren’t covering my chest by the time I get off the ice 🤣
If you’re a female ice hockey player with a larger chest (E-F cup)- do you have any recommendations for chest protectors?
I live in Australia so gear shops are few and far between and the knowledge on how to fit women is… lacking. Would appreciate any advice from my fellow female players out there! 🥰

Dealing with eBay is one of the most kafkaesque experiences one can have in the digital age. Endless, pointless bureaucracy that slowly drives you mad. Loops of conversations that serve to communicate nothing. The customer service seems to exclusively serve to waste your time. When my account got banned, it truly felt like being put on trial for a crime I had no idea I had committed, and couldn’t defend myself against. When I asked what the charges were, I was told I ‘posed a safety risk to the eBay community.’ Nobody would tell me what that meant. Nobody would tell me what I had done. The only thing I’d ever bought on eBay was a Beatles tshirt.

Ranting about stupid fucking eBay and it’s abysmal customer service 😭😭😭 I don’t expect to be able to get my account back at this point. I just want someone else who’s dealt with them to commiserate with me.

Supposedly my account was banned in 2024- I never received an email or message when that happened. When I asked over the phone if that message could be sent again I was told no.

I have legitimately never sold or listed anything on eBay. I’ve never had duplicate accounts. I’ve bought ONE thing (a tshirt in 2025 which was after the date I was apparently ‘banned’), and had a completely positive, normal experience & gave the seller a good review.

They are refusing to explain anything to me beyond vaguely saying my activity was ‘suspicious’ and presenting ‘risk factors’.

Has anybody else ever dealt with their customer service before???? Vague posting final boss.

Thank you for contacting eBay Customer Service regarding the suspension of your account. My name is Sitanshu. I am glad to assist you today with your concern that you want to get your account reinstated and understand that you wish to know the reason for the same.

I have carefully reviewed your account details. Let me assist you further with this concern.

I understand this may be an uncommon instance for you, but upon checking your account details and overall activities on your account, our team has decided to part ways in our mutual interest.

Building a trusted marketplace is our first priority. As such, we suspend any account that poses a risk to that trust. Your account has been suspended because the pattern of activities we have witnessed presents a risk to our eBay community.

You will not be able to participate in any buying and selling activities on eBay.

Please be informed that this suspension is permanent. You will not be able to participate in any buying and selling activities on eBay. In addition, any other accounts you own, or that are associated with this account, will also be suspended.

The primary reason why we have decided this is that it poses a risk to eBay and to its community. Unfortunately, our business interests are deviating from each other and do not seem to be going in the right direction.

We will have to refrain from sharing the exact reason why we have to suspend this account, because it will mean that we will have to disclose our internal procedure to detect risks with the account.

I know Niall is an abrupt person and Ruben arriving at the wedding is a huge stressor, but he and Alby don’t seem particularly excited to be getting married.
We’ve seen them say a lot of things akin to ‘let’s get it over with’ (which is definitely not an uncommon feeling for people who don’t love the spotlight to have on a big day like that), but I’m interested to know if they even want to be getting married.
I know there are theories about the wedding day being part of Niall’s book ending rather than reality, but if they really are getting married, it doesn’t necessarily feel like they have a strong romantic relationship. But I’m not sure what other reason they would have to get hitched lol.
Interested to know what other people think!!
