2nd account suspended
 

I have been selling on eBay for 8 years, then I decided to create a second account last month.
I sold a cat litter box on the 2nd account which is only 1 month old, it got suspended the next day, from the email I got from eBay, it states that I will never be able to use eBay in any way, but my first account is still going strong, will it definitely go down too??

I never did anything wrong to warrant the suspension

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

You probably did not create the account via stealth methods so you got linked and down it went.

As for "you never did anything wrong", a lot of information is missing for any people to confirm that. In eBay's eyes, you did something wrong.

This is not a stealth account, it was a genuine real account, what I only did was to sell a cat litter box and got suspended immediately

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

If it's a genuine account and you used the same info as your original of 8 years... then yes, most likely that account will get linked and taken down too.

These are what I suggest you do:

1. Get the stealth guide and starting using it.

2. Contact eBay, there's a small chance that they (big) might help you in this.

I'm contemplating if you should call them now or wait and see if your original account got doomed too

Maybe there was something smelly with cat litter box?

(Sorry, I’ll get my coat.)

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

did you sell a replica?

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

1 ebay account for 8 years ?

Wow, you got me there mate

About your 2nd account, I think your method wasnt quite right so it got suspended

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

Something fishy going on...

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

Why don't you contact eBay and ask them they will explain you, more likely it will be bot who done this on first sale ring them and they will restore this

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

Why create a 2nd account just to sell a litter box? If it smells like poop its usually.... pun intended

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

Do you even read, bro? It wasn't a stealth account.

Actually, several of you can't read it appears! :doh:

Re: 2nd account suspended
 

I think it is not as simple as that. Ebay allows to have up to 8 accounts. And 2 ebay accounts linked to one paypal. But there are restrictions. You can't list in the same category on both accounts, and other restrictions and rules.
How the heck ebay is going to link accounts? You already linked the, with your paypal.

In this kind of circumstance with real account, can't hurt to contact eb UNTIL you get a decent rep...(might take a few tries)
