Your eBay account has been restricted - more problems?

Hi.

Received this email form eBay.

"Hello XXXX,

We reviewed your eBay account and determined that you haven't followed our offers to buy or sell outside of eBay policy. Offers to buy or sell outside eBay, including providing contact information within a member-to-member message, aren’t allowed.

For example(s), review your listing and member messages regarding the following:


Buyer:"OK. Can collect tmr morning? 8-9a.m.?"
Seller:"Address is:XXXXX"
Buyer:"Great. Keep bolts for me. See you morning tmr."
eBay Item #XXXXXXXXX


As a result, your eBay buying and selling account privileges have been restricted for 7 days, which also restricts you from sending or receiving messages with eBay members unless you have had a recent eBay transaction with that member. You may also be subject to a range of actions to any selling activity you have on eBay, including changes to Seller Standards rating, application of fees, and restrictions on listing search page exposure and account features.

Once the 7 days have passed, your account will automatically be reinstated, including full use of messaging and listing search page exposure. However, keep in mind that if you don’t follow this policy in the future, your account(s) could be suspended, we may assess a fee to those who don’t follow this policy.

Thanks,

eBay

Please don't reply to this message. It was sent from an address that doesn't accept incoming email."


Now I can't replay for any emails and I guess no one can't buy from me.
You think ebay limited me account after 7 days?

Any advice will be good.

Cheers

No, it's not just a warning, it's a punishment for breaking the rules.

And you've probably been red-flagged and all your metrics have doubtlessly been lowered in search and every other regard.
