Any insights or advice needed
So I had a 14 day suspension. When the 14 days had passed I wasn't unsuspended and eBay hadn't even responded to email for over a week. So I found some reinstatement form on google and printed it filled out, signed it and put it into a PDF along with a printed utility bill and then I faxed that about 10 times to the eBay fax number.
Also my latest account that had nothing related to my main one and was on a different IP range well got termed for "abusing eBay" after a five day listing had been up for 4 days. The only thing even remotely bad was that it's got 10 feedback all from "private" feedback and all their feedback were in the 5 to 10 range -- these are shill feedbacks to bump it up to 10 so I could do featured items. But nobody has ever noticed that so I'm not sure someone reported me. Maybe it's some automated system. The only other idea is that I bid (not bought) on a laptop that started really low to see if the account had a buying limit (the bid was 6 cents and I was outbid) of course the item was 2 days from ending at the time of my NARUing so it's not related to whether the item ends.
I've had two new accounts termed for "abusing ebay" (one was in 4 hours and it was for penny auctions) and oddly in both cases, the feedback they left never got removed and my shills never got termed.
