Is It permanent?
Hi, Guys,
It's been a while
So here is my situation
In 2011, June, I was 17 and I first started selling on eBay selling my personal items. I made too much money too fast, so Paypal froze me, asking me "Where did you get this merchandise"? "Where is the receipt"? etc. I ended up telling them I was 17 and didn't think it was a big deal that I was a minor, so the rep told me to call back when I am 18 and I will get it reinstated.
Because my PP was linked to my eBay account, I ended up being also banned from selling on eBay and to call eBay to reinstate my account when I resolve the issue with Paypal. Fast Forward to May 2012, I am now 18, and I call Paypal, to reinstate, they end up telling me, that I am a risk to the community (also eBay) and I am permanently banned.
Frustrated with the lies they had given me, I had opened stealth accounts, they were eventually linked back to me, thus again "permanently" banning me from eBay and Paypal respectively. Feeling angered, and lied to, I decided to go to the BBB and file a case with PayPal as they had lied to me. After resubmitting the case for the 15th time (Exact number, not made up) because each rep that received the case flat out didn't help me and told me I am a risk. On the 15th try, I luckily got connected to Veronica, and was very sympathetic to me and reinstated my PayPal account if I submit documentation proving myself, I did, I was finally reinstated onto PayPal and told me that I can sell on eBay again. I open an eBay account in January 2013, but before I started selling, I wanted to rack up 100 buyer feedback so that way I can gain buyers confidence.
Then all of a sudden, in March, I got a MC999 saying that my information was linked to a previous account, " I thought I was reinstated?" I said, so I called eBay and they gave me the usual, and I told them " Wait A minute, if I was banned on eBay because PayPal froze me and you guys told me, if I resolve the issues, the problem would be solved" , but sadly not the case.
So in August , I was feeling adventurous, So I checked the selling limits which was 0 Items a month and/or 0.00 USD a month, so I decided to try and list an item, to my amazement, it asked me to confirm my information, so I did, then all of a sudden, I could sell on eBay again, I was so excited!
After a day of the listed items, I get banned again, and was told to call, so without nothing to lose, I decided to call, they asked me questions confirming my identity, I passed , and Now I can sell 1000 items a month and/or 7500.00 USD a month. This was on the first of September
So what I'm trying to ask, am I actually reinstated? Is it a GLitch? Were they being nice to me?
Let me know what you think.
