Account suspended BS…

[ghostdude]

I just had a 4 month old account suspended for the dumbest reason ever…

I opened this account in early September, was browsing on it, and didnt touch it for a few months. Then I thought hey let me buy these PDF’s I came across that were between $3-5 dollars. So I ended up buying 4 of them within 2 days. This was just a buying account.

After the 4th purchase and 1 hr later…WHAM.
Permanently suspended, after speaking and chatting to multiple agents, they said there was absolutely no way I can get my account reinstated as I am considered high risk and not safe….blah blah.

Suspended for buying PDF’s, and I used a $25 gift card and I cant even get it refunded. This is total BS.

I had so many accounts smashed like this since late November, and exactly same response on chat. They actually told me once we are not telling you the exact reason otherwise you will know how to bypass it.

I think definately alot of innocent people getting hit in crossfire. Ebay is going down the dumps

p.s this seems to be behaviour related, I have been building feedback on some accounts buying small value items from my other accounts. Some get hit others not, buying small value items under the suspicion of building feedback might be the theme

Gift cards are known to cause issues.
Where did you get your gift cards from?

Hmm possible blacklisted BIN for the gift card used?

Keep to contact - keep to contact - keep to contact on alternate periods. Will be the day you will catch a privileged rappresentative that will not read like a monkey the bot ban mail you read before him

how much did you pay for the $25 gift card?

True point about different actions by different representatives
