Account reinstatement - how to pay ebay fees? Plz help

playmase · #1 07-23-2009

hi all
i searched the forum for days and could not get the answer, so i am posting here.

yesterday i appealed to ebay for account reinstatement for my UK-registered 3000+ feedback ebay account (99.9%positive). the original reason my account got suspended was not paying ebay fees as i moved to another country and was forgetting about it all. the good news is they replied if i pay 13GBP outstanding ebay fees, they will reinstate my account. i had 2 other account suspended all because it was linked to this account. so if i can get this account back, i will most probably get all my 3 accounts back.

but since i left UK, moved to Asia, i no longer have UK-addressed credit card, and the paypal account that was linked to this ebay account is permanently blocked.

at the moment, i have fresh paypal account as well as credit card, all registered not in UK but in the country i live. what i am scared of is, if i pay the outstanding ebay fees with these, ebay might suspend my account again as the ebay account is UK-registered, addressed while my paypal or credit cards are not.

would it make any problems?? here we dont have those prepaid sioms gift cards or nothing like that. so the chose will have to be paypal or credit card payment. plz advise!!

use the same credit card you had registered on the paypal to upload money or a completely new one, a virtual card will be best where you change the address to match, if you are supposed to be in UK it will have to be a UK type one like entropay (if you can register for it wherever you are) or a 3v voucher (youll need someone at a UK address to receive it in the post, give you details or just post it to you, you change address of it online)

PS. ebay may not be telling truth re reinstatement
