ebay account suspended, wont reinstate

[Chris18181]

Hi Everyone,

I have a eBay account i made yesterday for a friend to make some extra money, I listed an electric shaver from Walmart that cost $225, today i received an email saying my account was suspended.

I called eBay and they asked me some security questions and said my account would then be reinstated. then the woman asked me if i had the item on hand and i told her no it ships from Walmart, then she said i must be Drop Shipping and that eBay doesn't allow drop shipping, that is a lie there are lots of sellers drop shipping on eBay, i tried to get it reinstated but she said there wasn't anyway due to the high risk.

This was a real account not stealth

Is there anyway i can make another account or try another approach?


any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Yeah, your account was limited/suspended because of the following:

You listed a high priced item.

then the woman asked me if i had the item on hand and i told her no it ships from Walmart, then she said i must be Drop Shipping and that eBay doesn't allow drop shipping, that is a lie there are lots of sellers drop shipping on eBay, i tried to get it reinstated but she said there wasn't anyway due to the high risk.

Why on God's Green Earth would you tell the ebay rep your dropshipping the item? ever hear of the term, "white lie"? Ebay does not like dropshipping on brand new accounts.

This was a real account not stealth

Well you managed to destroy a real account in a rather quick time frame.

Is there anyway i can make another account or try another approach?

Just curious, have you ever made a stealth account before?

1. Make a new stealth account
2. Stop listing high priced items right away
3. Do not tell ebay reps your dropshipping

I've made a few stealth accounts before, but I mostly just buy them, I am going to keep trying to get the account back.

You could have asked the forum first before talking to the rep. You just shot yourself in the foot.

Listen to MM78 OP - plus highpriced electronic item as first sale is not a wise idea
