So, ive been using ebay personally and professionally for 20 plus years, and it looks like its come to an end. Ebay has been an essential way to find those hard to find car or electronics parts, buying the next car or motorbike, and for selling odd bits that I dont want any more - including the occasional car or motorbike. Professionally had an account for sourcing parts in europe (mainly from the UK) - ebay handles the vat payment really smoothly. But this has been dormant for some time, now im back in the UK. I decide to have a clearout, so start listing items, with the intent of maybe opening a shop - see how it goes. I quickly hit a selling limit, but remember that I did have my other account, I accessed it, updated the info and account data and spent the evening listing about 20 items - about £400 worth. nothing exciting - basically brake pads, air filters etc,. For some reason, my account is now permanently suspended, with no chance for review. Basically, I'm banned from ebay, with no idea why, and apparently no way to undo it. I have had several discussions with agents - none of which were helpful, all told me that I cant appeal, and hung up. I genuinely dont know what I did to earn a full permanent suspension. None of the items for sale are prohibited. Many were car parts, but I am really clear in explaining the nature of the part (aftermarket / oem / original). I use clear, concise and bland language - no profanity. I have a generally good seller score (apart from a time where i was made ill, but I responded to everyone after the fact, and made everyone whole, and this progression is all in the messages). I've asked if my account needs verification or something similar / I have offered to provide any paperwork needed - to no avail. I am at a loss as to what I may have inadvertantly done to earn this suspension. Like anyone, I have made the odd honest mistake - like forgetting that an airbag cannot be sent, for example. these have been picked up automatcially, no drama. Ive been in a loop with agents reading a script who have not been able to tell me anything for about a day now - ive tried to ask for escalation, been told that im dealing with "escalation", but not got anywhere meaningful. Having suffered at the hands of scammers on ebay in the past, and not had halp from ebay, such sudden scrutiny comes as quite a suprise. Any advice? Its a real loss not being able to buy on ebay - i guess the only work around will be to have a friend buy stuff for me - which will be a pain..
