Strange situation with eBay & MC113
Ok, so in all honesty I've never and don't need any stealth accounts but this might be best place to understand what's happening.
Personal eBay account was limited as had some issues with fulfilling orders during lockdown but removed my listings, cleared any concerns so had no open cases anywhere and then they re-instated it so still have 200 items or £2000 a month limit, listed 1 or 2 items and registered for Managed payments so thought was back to normal just a case of working on scores.
Have another business with a different name so I innocently clicked open business account and set one up that's separate to my buying and personal selling account; within 1 day I got the MC113 account suspended and any linked accounts would also be the same..
As far as i'm aware there were no restrictions on me doing this and here I am a week later and my original account which has NEVER been banned is still working fine, listing and carrying on as normal so at a complete loss, I don't want to message eBay and ask.
Main reason I care is that run a successful business (Shopify, Depop and our own warehouse) with a partner that has been using Paypal and turning over a considerable amount for years with no issues but that Paypal was used when setting up the now banned eBay as we wanted to open an eBay store as an extra revenue stream. I know the 2 companies are linked but surely if ZERO of income has come from eBay it wouldn't lead to a ban there as well.
As we stand i've just had the new account banned but everything else is carrying on as normal.
Thanks for your insight
