REVOLUT as a suspension reason?

Gabriel21 · #1 11-15-2022

Hi, recently 3 of my ebay.de accounts have been suspended. Looks like revolut could be only possible reason.
Has anybody similar experience? Is it possible that ebay.de "banned" revolut same as UK ebay did?

revolut could be the problem but ebay.de is stricter in general so you get suspended there easier than on .com for example if you are not registered in germany

Accounts were registered in germany. Also all of them had 6+ months old with no issue so far.

So you added revolut just recently?

Gabriel21 · #5 11-15-2022

No, couple of months ago

what was the text of the suspension message?

Gabriel21 · #7 11-16-2022

Just obligatory text..your ebay account has been permanently suspended due to the detection of activity that poses a risk to the ebay community...

if it is recent accounts it is likely the selling activity , most common reason for a secondary suspension after several months is that account was selling too little and was not buying anything

Then I don't think it's banking issue. They'll usually ask for some kind of bank statement whenever there's a banking issue.

"activity" suspension usually is related to either buying or selling.

Did you increase volume of sales by a lot or selling something weird?

I stayed quite low with sales due to EU threshold and all items were listed as unbranded. Two of my account have been suspended same day, both with 100% feedback and even 0 open cases history. Names and addresses were different of course but had same city in provided IDs (almost neighbours). Could be that an issue?

When you say names and addresses are different were you using your name and a neighbours address what was your account set up? As I think it could be down to your account set up why your accounts were suspended.

what category of unbranded items?

it is a typical secondary suspension of new accounts on ebay , it usually comes in waves within 3-6 months of account opening

they mass suspend new accounts they do not need on the same day , it is very many accounts , thousands of them

yes you read it right "they do not need" , it is not about setup or failed verification but about accounts not making them profits

so you either start selling actively or you are at risk of suspension , ebay already have enough sellers so new sellers have higher entry requirements comparing to older ones

Well, they suspended my ebay account too. I never sold anything, had few items used listed. Bought one item from china, went OK.

Wanted to buy another item for 100Eur and ebay declined my revolut card that worked previously 3 times, I then asked seller it they have problem with transactions, seller said no, try again. Then after few tries I got message about suspended account.

****bay does not allow to buy using revolut now?

Seems like Ebay is like drug addicts in Philadelphia, unlucky I can't come to US to set on fire ebay headquarters or something.

They blocked it in the UK a while ago

Assume that it is the same for all other countries
