Hi Everybody,
2 Weeks ago, I got a weird notice when I logged into my Legit Ebay Acct.. It was not specific, it just said eBay (Trust and Safety) was checking something in my account, and to pardon the inconvenience. While they clear it up.
The account is less than 1 month old (3-1/2 weeks).
The message said for me to follow the outlined steps, in my Ebay acct. There were no steps to follow. So I shrugged it all off.
3 days ago I tried to list more items, and it did not allow me to list. I wrote and called Ebay.
I was told by the eBay rep, on the phone that my account had what he described as a Soft Suspension, then he rephrased it as a Soft Restriction.
He said it applied to new sellers and they needed me, to send them some proof, of who I was and my business.
I went for it and sent my legit personal and business Docs. They sent me a email 1 day later, and said all is well.
I listed more items with no problem, 4 hours later.....
I log into that account yesterday, and now they say I need a telephone verification. I called the
eBay verification number and spoke to a rep., that said he had to ask me a couple of account verification questions.
Bottom Line is; The questions he asked me, were questions that only, someone privy to my
credit report, would know.
I denied most, because I did not want them to link me to a old acct..
At the end of the interrogation, which consisted of 3-4 questions, she said all was well.
Is this crap normal? You can get High Security Clearance Jobs, with less B.S..
I don't have a good feeling about this at all. Anybody else have to deal with this ? I would hate to loose this Legit Acct..
Something tells me that I really may have Screwed Up, big time.
