9 months old account suspended
 

Really eBay is a joke, not a serious platform at all, I have 9 months old accounts without any claim or problem, I have followed all the stealth rules, first 4 months only buying because this account is related to my new address in new country, They have requested my ID in the beginning and everything is fine, I have started to sell 4 months ago with no expensive items, only this month I have started to sell brands and expensive items (100-200 euro), I got suspended without any warning, the account is french, but I sell in EBay Germany because I live on borders between Germany and France. eBay is really a mafia and ******* like the system

It doesn't matter how much you wait, once you sell a high end brand it's a risk...

I think the number of selling feedbacks is crucial to start selling numerous branded items, the total feedback was 10 and only 2 were from buyer. I think that is the reason. After receiving 25 feedback from buyer, then it is safe. That is the lesson. Very hard lesson unfortunately

To me, ebay is serious. 90% of my income is from ebay.

was this a suspension on MP? did they request any data , docs etc.?

I'm agree with you. I think an established account is needed to deal with branded items.

Re: 9 months old account suspended
 

That's correct to a degree. But once you want to start to sell a branded goods, you should try just one, get great feedback, then sell 1 more later.

It's really trust building yet it's not a guarantee you'll be left alone.

Well, for my experience ebay can be really serious if you are also serious. I only sell genuine products and I almost never have any problem. On one of my accounts I experienced things that I thought would never be possible, like ebay automatically erasing unfair negative feedbacks (without me even asking to) or even taking your side on buyer cases agains you. However it's still true that ebay can take you down unfairly for many reasons. Like for no reason at all; for dishonest competing sellers who try to take you down; for not liking the products you are selling even if they are 100% legit. That's why managed payments are worrying me as I still don't know how I will still be able to have multiple accounts.
