HELP!
To anticipate your questions-- yes, I know I'm an idiot and made several colossal blunders
I just bought the Ebay
stealth guide, but I'm trying to get reinstated before resorting to selling by the Stealth route.
I hope there is someone reading this who has had luck getting reinstated and can give me some advice.
My situation: Gold Powerseller for 1 year, on ebay for 9 years, all my (5) accounts were suspended this morning because they were linked to an account that was suspended 6 weeks ago for unpaid items. (Why it took 6 weeks for this to happen I don't know).
First HUGE mistake-- not sending replacement checks by registered mail when I first received an Alert. I did fill out the 'payment sent' info. with check # etc. but that didn't stop the strikes.
Second HUGE mistake-- I figured once the account was suspended (on third strike) it wouldn't let me login to retrieve contact info. (I tried once, had I known the consequences I would've... etc. ) for the rest of my purchases and wasn't able to and thanks to a computer meltdown I no longer had the old emails etc.... so I now have 10+ Unpaid Item Strikes on the suspended account.
So, yes, I'm an idiot.
I called Powerseller support and was able to get escalated to Trust and Safety. T&S guy was sympathetic but said I could only communicate regarding a suspension by email
suspension@ebay.com
I replied to the suspension notices email for my linked powerseller account and the buying account that was suspended 6 weeks ago with a short email saying in so many words: 'I like ebay, I apologize for my error on the other account, and what steps can I take to get re-instated?' (again, yes I'm an idiot for not knowing the suspended account would end all my ebay selling)
Reading around the other posts from people with similar problems it looks like I have no chance of ever selling on ebay again without going the Stealth route. I've never been suspended before or had listings removed.
Do I have any chance of being reinstated?
Is there any action I can take while waiting to hear back from
suspension@ebay.com?
