I'm not really upset at all that they decided to permanently ban this new account, or even that they haven't said why. They'll have their reason or reasons and they are entitled to them. What does annoy me is that I simply did what eBay representatives suggested. I asked to close my account and for the data to be removed, which took 60 days, and then created a new private account which was primarily just going to be for purchasing.
As far as I'm aware, I did everything by the book. And my previous account had no issues whatsoever. I had over 800 feedback (100% positive) and it was opened in 2012. It is what it is I suppose.
Appreciate all the replies!
