Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

eBay may have started a 'December clearance'...
I lost 14 very good accounts.
They are requesting ID information, Tracking numbers and so on on all of them.
They are all in perfect condition almost 0 negative feedbacks.
Okay... maybe a few cases here and there, but yeah.
Managed to reinstate one of them...
So my question is: Someone else facing this?

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Aside from slow sales, my two US MP accounts are working well and have no issues, it may depend on category of items and history more than the time of year

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

They are a lot more stricter over the Christmas period as loads more scammers on there.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Would be interesting to find out how online sales on EBAY and Etsy fare this XMAS?
Since shoppers have to pay sales tax and shipping,they may as well go to a physical store.
Shipping is higher now,USPS will be raising rates again come 2024.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

A lot of shops offer in store pick up more and more.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

What about that payment layaway plan

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Happened to me, several accounts suspended at the same time. Even identity verified and bank verified accounts. The mistake I may have made is creating and listing items then not using them for a long time
They haven't been suspended for more than a month and each account was created at different time

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Yeah I guess my mistake was that the accounts were under a year old, and I hiked up the sales way too fast and too much.

After a huge analysis of everything, I've came to that conclusion.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

It seems that you hit that magical figure that we are not sure of to trigger the MC011 message and proof of all orders being delivered etc then being hit up for ID and bank statements.

I believe every seller will face this one time in the account history, it’s just when will it be.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Happened to me on an ID verified account because the account pulled in over 3k over a few months..pretty lucky I made it that far but it got me alot of scrutiny.

I got on the phone to verify with them, sent IDs and bank/address documents and everything was peachy, until I got an MC011 shortly thereafter.. lets just say the invoices and tracking numbers didnt help me :D

Good luck! Happy Holidays~~

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

In my case, and I haven't even made a sale on a few. I think it's because all of them were created one month before Christmas and were inactive

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

You followed proper stealth method with no linking?

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

is this an MC011 ?

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Yes all of them got a MC011.
One asked for ID documentation - which I already had sent earlier this year and was successfully verified.
Others were asking for tracking information/proof of delivery.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

On some accounts yes. On others, no I work them my own way and they lasted a bit longer.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Funny thing is I have accounts that are 3+ years old, NEVER had to send any of that documentation.
One of my accounts even has ⊗⊗⊗⊗ VAT information linked and is doing 15k+ monthly sales no issues whatsoever...
It's the accounts that are younger that get slapped around by eBay it seems....

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Your correct my latest accounts got hit whilst the pre MP ones were left alone.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Also have mc011

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

On these that i created recently no, other works well

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

i created a few account recently all get the reactivated

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

How many sales on them?

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

they do for the holiday also the limitation mc011 , I think for avoid complaints from customers that expect to receive the items before Christmas

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

I have had no issues on my egay accounts, however they both were created earlier in the year and aged before use, so they may be below the December cutoff radar.....

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Yes, all accounts get suspended.

You can not create new account and start selling in december, because all of them will be suspended.

I didnt had any problems with accounts till 10th December, after that day, like someone has swithed on “ suspend “
But hope in January it will ends.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Normal suspensions and the stupid AI bots where they have been removing my listings since June.

Can't get one ****ing listing up and it is literally pissing me the **** off.

Nearly cut 80% of my total items that I have been selling for years and I can't get even one up without the stupid AI bots.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

All my accounts got hit with your account is under review and then mc999 suspension the next day the past 2 days. Accounts were created and selling in sept 2023 and had no problem till now.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

You have problem with account creation not AI bots.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

It's not the account creation. Re-read my post.

These have been happening on accounts that are over a year old that never got removals until June.

Has nothing to do with account creation.

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

What kind of listings have you had up? That detail is missing

Re: Anyone else lost a bunch of accounts these past 2 weeks?
 

Your old accounts are now trusted accounts, but the new ones I think they are just giving everyone a hard time because of that time of the year
