I have been on ebay for a few months, and have sold about 20 items. Today i recieve a message saying my account is suspended because they believe i am a threat to the ebay community. I cannot get a response about this from ebay despite numerous emails. I have 100% positive feedback, have paid for all my items purchased, shipped all items in a timely manner properly packaged, and have read and reread the buyer and seller rules and am unable to find anything i have done wrong. What other reasons can i be banned for, and how do i get back on?!?!? here is the email sent to me:
ETA I am certain, 100%, positively, with highest possible levels of spidey sensivity achieved and absolutly no BS, positive this is not a scam. I was alerted to this signing onto ebay! check username print equiped (one word) if i exist i will give you a dollar (promotion ends 6am eastern on day after this edit) |
I found out i was banned when i tried logging on to view expired auctions. I buy and sell printing equipment and have recently begun selling on ebay. I have heard how ruthless ebay is with crossing i's and dotting t's so i followed them exactly. I am not giving my username, less some lurking tool send this to ebay. call me paranoid. |
I am an honest person. I searched ebay by my username and it says i am no longer registered. I sold a bunch of items that ended saturday and am having a hell of a time contacting the buyers. fortunately, the two who actually paid i already have contacted by phone. I had items selling for between $50.00 to $10,000. maybe they banned me for selling a big item with no experience?? Like i have never sold or shipped a press before 
|
We need your user name, post it like this, "u*se*r*n;am*e". So the bots cant use it. What did they tell you when you called? |
hehe...nothing remotely related to weapons....although i would say a printing press is a little more dangerous in the hands of someone like the NYT! i am on the phone.....on hold.....taking bets on hold duration... |
|
Most probably you got spammed / phished ... AND someone else used your account and bogusly sold something and that is why YOUR ACCOUNT is LOCKED.. not you .. but your account. In a previous email that was sent to you by SOMEONE, WITHOUT CLICKING on the LINKS... Point at the links and in the status line at the bottom of the window do they look correct ( .COM )or end in a NON-EXPECTED .xxx (IE: .CZ or something the like and not .COM) ? IF that is what happened you do need to contact eBay. |
You've been phished, the User Agreement is not divided into numbered sections. I would recommend contacting ebay directly and pursue the matter. |
i really have not been phished. I really am banned. search for print equiped and you will see. Phone contact is a joke, i sat for almost 2 hours on hold before my phone died. I also found some other numbers that did the same thing. |

If you used paypal and you use the same password (or even if not) I would be checking to make sure there is no fraud going on with your money as well... paypal as well as your credit cards or bank information! feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=printequiped search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&fstype=1&catref=C6&from=R10&satitle=&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sadis=200&fpos=19460&fis=2&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&seller=1&sass=printequiped&so=Show+Items&fsop=1&fsoo=1 |
emptied all accounts. I have a separate Paypal/Ebay checking account due to the rumors of said entities emptying money when things go bad. only a fool has a paypal account linked to a primary checking account. |

There are so many Ebay scams out there it's hard to keep track. Some of them are damn good at imitating a real Ebay commo. You need to check your in "my Ebay". The real commos will be there. It takes a little doing, but Ebay live help online is quite good. Usually takes me 15-20 minutes of wait time, then you can chat by text. I do a lot on Ebay, so I'm probably a good target for the scammers. I had my account hijacked twice in the past month. Ebay got me squared away both times. Ended up having to change email and ebay passwords. Ebay told me that scammers can use your email as a backdoor into your ebay account. Good luck! |

Is it possible to be hijacked, and ebay bans you without explaining it because they detected it? I still have not received any comm besides previously sent notification. I do sign onto ebay from a ton of locations; laptop, office, my house, moms, friends etc. Is it possible they are just idiots and have an ip logger thats kicks you for multiple login locations?? Online "live chat" said "go f@@@ yourself, send an e-mail" I am at a loss for what else to do. All phone numbers i have tracked all send me to an eternal loop hold. The one operator i talked to said all suspensions are handled through email. aaaaarrrrgghhhhh

i forward all emails recieved from paypal or ebay to [email protected], i have been selling for about a year, and have had several items jerked out for "violations of policy" (they do not like items listed with "M14" listed in the title, go figure) each time i sent an email asking why and always got a reply to my question, but not a real answer, go figure, do you think someone used one of your presses to print counterfiet?? |
|
It's phishing! go to www.ebay.com login, change your password now! ETA: Nope, you're really suspended |
|
I went under his feedback and it shows: "no longer a registered member" Can't do much to help--however, if you get another e-mail and re-register, you only had 4 feedbacks--not a huge loss. Did you pay the ebay seller fees? They might have dropped you if they couldn't collect their cut? AFARR |
| I just went thru thr completed auctions under printing equipment to find your user ID. You have only sold 2 items, and bought 2 items. Nothing to send up any alarms. My guess is someone phished or hacked your acct. They scammed someone or tried to , and you got caught up in it. Just go thru the official emails and what not, you should be reinstated shortly |
Sounds like someone is phishing.... I'll bet you can login to you account nornally. and the links in that email take you to a fake eBay page asking for all kinds of information that eBay would never ask for. CC #s, PINs, etc. No Expert ETA: I read that he's really banned, but wonder if it's not from an attack on the account by someone else that hijacked it and did something. My nephew had his ebay (and subsequent paypal) accounts hacked and that was a mess with the bank. |
|
Ummm..i did, but i will say it again......printing equipment.......presses, paper folders, paper joggers, bindery equipment, etc. I have had ZERO negative communication with a buyer or potentiasl buyer. My only thought is that I was bannned for putting eight listings on at once with high value on some, and not having enough feedback? I can find no mention of that situation in the Ebay user agreement except for section 9, the "vagueness clause" |
