Can you share what did you do exactly to loose them?

Are you able to share what you are selling to loose all those accounts? Basically, what type of scam are you running?

People like you should be banned from this forum IMO. No room for carp like this. Take this bull somewhere else.

Excuse me?

when did you become Judge and Jury around here?

I suggest you ask a MOD to delete your insulting post that only serves one thing:

makes you look like you are assuming and thus are a total ASS.

Forum was created to allow people to get back to ebay/paypal after being treated unfairly.

Should a user be running a scam, it's not wise to put that out in the open in any case.

farout · #38 04-20-2015

Lost more than 50 accounts I guess.

Recherché · #39 04-28-2015

WTH?! Lost my two main accounts today. This is the first time I've lost accounts in 5 years on eBay.

feadup · #40 04-28-2015

i lost thousands accounts over the years, I came here and I kept reading and I read Aspkin Ebook. result.....let me say its been a while since I lost a single account.
My case was linking but it was not cookies, name, MAC, address, item , description, IP, picture...were not these things.

I was not unique

elmo · #41 04-28-2015

I have a really hard time losing accounts. I can't seem to figure it out.

richie2065 · #42 04-29-2015

50 plus accounts lost but this before I used the knowledge power of stealth and altered my choice of items to sell, - You wont get far selling branded jewellery Il tell thee that for sure!!

Back in the day over a decade ago it was a cinch to get back on ebay.
Once they closed your account you could be back on selling items within a few minutes so I had dozens back then.
With the gradual increase in security over the years the number lost each year is now in single figures.

But it does raise the question of why we all get banned.
I was initially banned for selling bootleg tapes and dvd's of material not available officially and it seems once you get banned then further bans occur just because you've been previously banned rather than what you've been doing recently.
At one point Ebay operated a policy where if you got a listing removed for Vero you got a warning but if you got more than one within 30 days you got a 30 day selling ban.
I don't know if these temporary selling bans still operate.

Ebay will claim they suspend sellers to keep ebay safe and while I don't agree with fooling buyers I don't see any issues with providing buyers with something they cannot purchase properly as long as they are aware of what they are buying.

Looking at some of the figures on here - 100 accounts in 2 years for example just make you think.
Is everybody on here really an innocent party or are ebay doing the right thing by banning certain people.

Be interested to hear some of the reasons - but I quite understand those who won't want to talk about it but it might help build a picture of how to avoid suspensions when selling in a particular field.
It's one thing I don't see discussed on here but I think it would be useful and interesting if some people were happy to explain why they get banned without going into too much detail.

I actually have an account at the moment with almost 500 feedback but it has a selling ban simply because I phoned ebay to increase the selling limit and somehow they instantly linked the account to 2 others that had been closed over a year earlier.
I won't be doing that again.

One of the main things that bug me about both ebay and paypal is that often they will suspend you and specifically say they cannot explain why.
I had email correspondence with ebay and paypal over one suspension and both refused outright to say why I was being suspended and they would not even tell me which listing was the problem . They both quoted the usual crap "concern for the safety of ebay users".

So you can't even get the courtesy of being told how to avoid making the same error

Unfortunate lesson but yes, part of why not recommended to call in
