eBay account finally unflagged after 2 months
Hi everyone,
This is going to be quite a long post and an in depth post as well to help anyone un flag your their eBay accounts. So September 24th my eBay account got flagged. The reason it got flagged was due to drop shipping from amazon to eBay. I was using an API software shop master importing amazon listings/pictures to my eBay account and the eBay system decided to flag my account.
I’ve had numerous conversations with eBay reps through live chat how can I get my account unflagged? I was told to use correct item location so print labels from my home delete any software and any listings I had before. I already had some stock but it wasn’t really selling anymore.
So what I did was go to my local shops Poundland, home bargains, Asda, Aldi and find profitable products to sell. It wasn’t easy but I found some profitable items brought them took pictures of them quick description and listed them as 3 day auctions starting bid 99p and they sold some didnt but most of them did and I made profit.
I also brought a bit of stock from China High profit items and listed one item a week as used and they sold and made some profit too.
I noticed my eBay seller dashboard was looking more healthier than it did before I was doing this and to my surprise projected seller dashboard to be top rated seller November 20th.
When I saw this I got in touch with eBay and they said they will forward this onto the restriction team. November 19th the restriction team unflagged my account but my account still stayed as above standard which I wasn’t too happy about as it should be top rated seller but they said the evaluation was from October 20th to November 20th but will be top rated seller December 20th.
Anyway today I got in touch with eBay and they confirmed theirs no restrictions and no drop shipping policy on my account and my promoted listings have already increased and listings back to the top of the search results.
One of the most important factors of getting an eBay account unflagged is down to your seller dashboard my dashboard was above standard 5% late delivery rate at one point and I dropped it to 2.86% if I didn’t drop it then my account would still be flagged as eBay like to see significant improvements in your dashboard it’s very important something I wasn’t aware about. At the moment my late delivery is now 1.51% so it’s dropped nicely.
Maximum time for an eBay account to be flagged is 60 days can be earlier depending on the seller dashboard and depending on if you have changed your business strategy. It can take longer than 60 days if theirs no improvements to your seller dashboard ad if still no improvements account could be suspended.
At one point after 30 days I had the choice to send in business documents which I chose not to do you don’t have to send eBay anything just change your business model improve your dashboard and you will be unflagged again.
I hope this post helps anyone out their flagged accounts can be unflagged it can be done.
