has anyone ever gotten a suspended account back ? .. read please

[SpWildcat]

almost 2 years ago my " real " account was suspended for 2.5 % below standard on communication

long story short
originally canada account , changed to USA account and then had 2 out of 4 transactions in a month give me 1 star on communication (* the buyers admitted they got confused and thought 1 was good and 5 was bad ) ... apparently when you change country currency its like the account starts over

GLobal i was above standard
USA i was below standard because i only had 4 transactions and 2 of the 4 in that first month had issues .....

i was suspended and i just moved on ... after 2 years of using different accounts, and stealth accounts ... i wish i could just have one account and not worry about it ....

it doesnt hurt to atleast try and get the old real account back .... any tips ?

its like urban legend hearing about some people getting their accounts back ... has anyone every gotten a account back .... ?

I wish we didn't need Stealth....but here we are.

Well....have they asked for anything? Can you still log in? The only thing you can do is call and pray.

[richie2065]

in one word.. NOOOOO

[rsot]

Only way is to e-mail or phone in and negotiate - no real tips...try and hope but really, not worth a lot of time being spent

Yes....over half a dozen times.

Just call them and try to manipulate the rep into re-instating you. There's no magic words to say, just feel it out and tell them how you've learned from the experience and want to try selling on eBay again...if they tell you the suspension is permanent, hang up and call again. Keep doing this until you get a yes....or until you get 3 nos. I give up after getting 3 nos on a suspension overturn.

It is not a myth and used to happen but most of the methods used are no longer available as far as I know. I think someone worked out the email system used by ebay and started emailing people higher up to get answers but not sure how well that works anymore.

I think this post on PSU had the old methods in it.

View topic - Unfair Account Suspension on eBay

But you have to read through all the woe is me stuff as I can't recall where the advice started. You never know there may be some of it still possible.

It is possible to appeal a suspension, depending what the reason for suspension was.

There is nothing to lose by calling in at this point. The account is worthless if you don't get the limitation appealed. Worst case scenario, you waste an hour of your life.

What the hell are you doing when you call eBay? Discussing string theory?

Phone calls with eBay have never lasted me more than 10 minutes....if you're talking to a rep for an hour, you're doing something wrong.

Not worth it just make tons of stealth accounts a build them up u can sell way more that way

Why do you feel the need to attack my posts so frequently? Even by your logic, calling 3 times at around 10 mins each is half an hour. Newer users do not know what to say and will probably stay on the phone longer.

Here you go: Worst case scenario, you waste a HALF hour of your life. Now GOA is happy and the forum can move on.

This forum is for helping people out and sharing thoughts, not nitpicking over the difference of how long a call takes.

LMAO.

Pot calling the kettle black much?

Oh, I see you don't like it when someone takes your post off-topic to needlessly insult you.

Well, since we seem to agree, let's shake hands and move on now. These trite insults we trade ARE getting old. Glad we could put this behind us.

If you get a loser/rough agent when you call in, it's always better to call back and hope for different agent.

Always make an excuse to get off the phone. Just hanging up can make the rep mad and he/she can notate on the account.

Wow, even repeating my advice. You really HAVE turned a new leaf!

Well...you don't ever act rude and hang up. Just politely dismiss him/her..."Thanks for the help anyhow - have a nice day" etc

Again trying to pick a fight with me?

I've never been against calling in on a suspended account, you have nothing to lose. I am against calling in on perfectly good accounts that can wind up suspended after calling.

Just stop already. Be helpful to others instead of insulting for once.

Just so we're clear: It's now public forum record that we've both agreed to bury the hatchet. I expect no more snarky comments from you, and I'll do the same.

Did you have any unpaid fees?

I'm pretty sure you won't be getting it back, sorry for the bad news.
