Resolve the dispute on PP, and then find a new way to accept payments though eBay.

The account is history. PayPal believes (rightly or wrongly) that you are selling counterfeit goods. Accounts are RARELY restored under those circumstances.

But how can they assume so if none of my eBay listing has been removed, and I have many positive feedbacks received recently saying my products are authentic?

did you ever have buyers send payment direct thru PayPal?

This happened to me, Paypal limited my account, I had an ebay account that was 11 years old I started accepting credit cards, after 3 weeks and a lot of headaches, I gave up on the credit card idea, and waited to see what would become of the ebay account. 4 months later my prize ebay account was suspended. I wouldn't count on keeping your ebay account based on my experience

Resolve the claim and then call up PP for a "try" to appeal - may not work but worth a shot

[sagkash2]

Dont waste your time appealing for this coz they will never restore your account !
Its gone forever , so just forget this account , make a new stealth n move on !
