Unjustified restriction even worse than imagined 😭 | Seller Central

Further to my previous posts and only thanks to my efforts in promoting my inventory 12 hours a day I finally made a sale after 3 months of inactivity. After selling one of the 3 items Ebay are allowing me I assumed I could then list another item bringing the total for sale listings back to 3 - How wrong I was . Turns out I can only sell & list up to 3 items each month and they have also restricted the total value of sales+listing prices to £150 . I had wrong understood the restriction to be just a limit on listings. To correct a point made previously where I said it would take 41 years to clear my inventory assuming 3 sales per month it is actually 410 years it would take - considering I am in my mid 60's and in serious declining health , ( informed of this 2025), what chance do I have ?. Take into account the value restriction and that probably increases the time it would take me to clear my stock to over 600 years. Ebay still insist I will be able to list as normal if I increase my positive sales feedback but they won't tell me how I can do that when I can only sell 3 items each month. If no one at Ebay can tell me what I can do to reverse this how am I supposed to know ?. Even more puzzling is that I've actually only been given 1 negative feedback in 17 years using my present account. Again I raise the question of how I can have my account restricted like this when other sellers are amassing 100's of negative feedback each month for cancelling sales,not having items in stock or just not sending orders. Again as previously stated one Seller I considered buying from has over 2100 negative feedback in 12 months. My only mistake seems to have been agreeing when a buyer has asked me to cancel as they ordered the wrong thing, no longer had the money to pay,ordered by mistake or simply changed their mind. Being a good seller I agreed,there was no option to say why a sales was being cancelled that fitted the actual reason so I just put "out of stock" thinking it didn't matter but it turns out it did. I have found another message thread which was about old gig T shirts. I had listed 2 , they sold but buyer then messaged saying they only wanted one of them but had bought so they did not lose out on the one they wanted. I agreed to cancel the sale for 2 shirts and created a new listing for 1 shirt, put the buyers name in the title and sent the link to the buyer who then purchased. Both the cancelled sale and the completed sale show the same buyer ID but Ebay only seen a cancelled sale no a rearranged sale. Seems I should have been a corrupt dishonest seller and I would still have my account. NOT FAIR.
