7 day suspension first time added hiding listings

[Kajunrook]

I use to get 7 day suspensions all the time, sometimes 30 day and a lot of permanent. But I learned how to skirt most (putting up for 5 day auction) to get ride of the VERO stuff I still have. Well got caught yesterday and got a 7 day and it said "all listing will be hidden for 7 days". Never had this before and during 7 day suspensions sales went on as normal. Is this something new?

Well made 4 sales on "hidden" listings then. Maybe people had the item on watchlist. It is my backup acct, backup acct so get very few sales anyway.

Yea, this is new from eBay. If you get a restriction, all your listings will be hidden.

I had this happen to me, My account got banned for 3 days. 5 days and 7 days and all my sales continued and I continued to receive money and ship the items out although ebay told me all my listings had been hidden while I was banned

Also how do you continuously make new accounts with new names and everything to get around all the bans? Ive just got perma banned on 2 accounts and Now im stuck
What can I do?

Are you sure they said they were hiding your listings, usually they will put your listings as low on the search results as a punishment. If your listings are promoted they still get the prominence in the search results landing you near the top of best match.

- Listings that don't follow our policy have been ended.
- A temporary 7-day selling restriction has been placed on your account (starting on the date of this notice), and your other listings will be hidden from search during this period. Listings will automatically be restored and show up in search results after the end of the temporary restriction.
- All fees paid or payable for listings that are ended and/or hidden from search will not be refunded or otherwise credited to your account.

Listings that don't follow this policy in the future will result in similar actions, including a 10-day restriction on your account.
