Account suddenly temporarily restricted after listing first item?

[tylerb2025]

Hi

I opened up an eBay account 4 days ago. I added my debit card. verified my mobile number and email address, and then made one purchase for a small amount of money. This evening I have gone to list a relatively cheap item (£30) which would have been my first sale, and suddenly my account was restricted. Any ideas as to why?

I did use eBay before, for many years, and was an active user. But that account was very recently closed, by my request. My card isn't linked to any other account or anything like that. I was also told by an agent that it wouldn't be an issue at all to open up a new account once my previous one was closed.

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!
