First Stealth Account Suspension Experience

klasiokas · #1 11-08-2018

Hey,

Experience so far with my first stealth account. 1000 limit 3 months old account.
I do sell genuine items between £2-£5, and listed 10 BIN first day, and 10 next day. Quantity of 3 each ( 60 total ). Got suspended straight after. Went to live chat and been told to provide ID With Proof of Address. Well considering they would not reinstate account I did gave them what they asked me, but I was sending documents while being on the live chat couple days later. Proof of Address was not demanded no more.

Reinstated 5mins later. Left an account for around 3 days to idle. Came back home logged in to the account and it has been suspended again. Well straight to the live chat again just so i can read something BS me about breaking the rules and I will not be able to get it back or appeal at any time.

Decided to play it " Dummy " made a phone call right after I have closed the chat. And had another 15min talk the lady on eBay side, made some dummy questions regarding the a account just like being a new to whole eBay business so she put me on hold for at least 5min. She came back with: quote ( Congratulations, you have passed out verification, I have made some notes on your account about the business you want to do on eBay and you will not face any issues again )

Did that happened to you guys as well?

Thanks

This is a great example how eBay (and PayPal) can be sometimes.

A great example of the right hand doesn't always know what the left is doing.

I once did something similar, playing the dummy and asking newbie questions sometimes helps.
