eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums

Just asking :d Interested to know if other large-scale sellers had this happen the same time I did.

Last time it happened was last year AUGUST... What a coincidence.

Not too many accounts though, just a dozen of them had this forced password reset.

eBay being random as usual.

On 3+ years old accounts. Just a random "security measures" by eBay. Nothing to worry about really. I was just interested to know if others had this happen the same time as me.

Here is a screenshot from the email too:

The same thing happened yesterday. We lost over 20 accounts. Either password resets or mc999. All in one day.

I’ve seen a few people mention similar lockouts lately.

Ouch... Hate to learn that...
Seems like eBay doing their pre-Q4 clearance early this year...
Hope it's not gonna be a 2-round this time.
Usually they start f*ing around in October...

Precisely. Sellers always like to act like they're being wronged by the platform in some way or another.. but the fact of the matter is the buyers are the ones bringing the capital.
