I was 'indefinitely suspended from selling' a few weeks ago, despite having 100% feedback and providing eBay with all of the necessary documents. When I started reading what others have written after they received the same suspension, I noticed one pattern that stood out to me.
Whenever eBay hit someone with a ban and freeze their funds (with no explanation) it's almost always because that person has had a large spike in their selling activity, and therefore eBay balance. I have had the same exact thing happen to me with Amazon, and Depop as well. When your balance spikes, they don't want you to have it, and they don't have to give it to you. Amazon kept thousands of pounds from me until documents were supplied, and eBay are keeping about a thousand from me for "170 days". It's not a coincidence.
They want your money, and they want a massive bank account themselves. eBay will benefit more from freezing my £1,000 for 6 months, and earning interest off of it, than simply releasing my funds to me every day when I sell things. It benefits them more, at my expense. And I'm obviously not the only one. Don't be naive about this, because I haven't received any explanation about my suspension, and the reason is glaringly obvious. I sold quite a lot of my items on a Friday and the Saturday after, and was fully suspended on the Sunday. eBay made me run around providing an endless list of documents, and I was told by support that my account would be reinstated once I can provide delivery proof for all of my orders. I did. Then, shortly after, was told that I was suspended forever. eBay purposefully made sure that I fulfilled all of my orders, worth about £1k, handed over a £400 guitar to my customer, just for them to keep my funds for 6 months and ban be forever from selling. It's a trap. One massive trap.
