Reviving a suspended account
 

Anyone had any luck messaging ebay like 6 months / a year later asking to get back on. I remember awhile back hearing a few stories like this, though rare. I have many suspended accounts 6 months, up to years and figured it couldn't hurt to try, though not sure an intriguing thing to say to them besides straight up asking.

Depend the kind of suspension some accnts are banned forever but I think is worth to give a try if something has changed during the time

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

with suspended accounts ebay usually refuse to reinstate by default regardless of the reason

the only exceptions are suspensions because of unpaid fees and unauthorized access

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Only time I've heard of revived accounts was years ago, I'm sure ebay is very strict now and trains reps indef, means indef.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

It really depends on why it was limited

It can be done but its the exception and not the rule these days.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Depends on the reason for suspension, if it was for non delivery, VERO or money owed and not paid then forget it.

The 3 accounts are MC011 where they ask for invoices and tracking because too many sales at once. Then they say they don't like my business and think I'm a liability. 2 are small (10-50 feedback), but I had my main 10 year one with 1500 feedback gone as well :( . All real, no stealths. Had one stealth back in the day that got canned for digital items.

well, you got nothing to lose by trying at this point, right?

So go for it, you never know

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Indeed, just trying to fetch ideas on what to say. As they log calls/chats, so feel like I only got one shot at it for now.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

I would think that the 10 year one would be a good place to start, although it is concerning they did a MC011 on that one for increased sales, I am thinking you got linked with the other 2 accounts.

Years ago Ebay will email the suspended accountholder and ask him to come back,but not anymore.
There are just too many sellers and not enough buyers and old habits die hard,the suspended seller would probably repeat his deeds and get suspended again

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

doesn't hurt to try if you have time to spare but build other new stealth accounts while you do

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Please update us if it works!

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Update: It didn't work lol, the rep said indefinitely is indefinitely. Even tried to nudge her to transfer me to supervisor but she said they would just say the same thing.

Good news is though I remembered about my old old account and its not suspended anymore. So if you have an account that got suspended 2+ years ago (before managed payments), I'd check up on it.

nice - build it slowly

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

They actually auto suspended it shortly after as since I haven't logged in in years they thought it was hacked. But once I called and confirmed my info, we're back in business. And yes that the problem I keep having, doing too many sales at once. Thats how I lost my 10 year 1500 feedback account, went from couple thousand a month to 10k. Figured since it was so aged and so much feedback + sales I was good.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

I have an account that was banned from selling back in 2013. I can still buy just cannot sell and I buy on it regularly still to this day. I wonder if I could get this account back to selling again? I was banned for Vero from what I can remember.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Try to sell something, does it not allow you? If not chat with a rep and say you sold something for your little brother and it messed up your account or something.

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

seems like you have identified the issue :) time to avoid

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

Is it possible to re-instate the account that restricted due to BBE ? It is 10 years aged, real account with plenty of feedback and thousands of transactions. Reason of get suspension is eBay says doesn't matter case is closed in favor of the seller or not but important is that cases must not have been opened at all as if it is up to me that one idiot can open anytime for the reason of he was not at his address during delivery even..

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

So the account is completely suspended because you got a lot of cases opened against you right?

Re: Reviving a suspended account
 

never hurts to try if you have some time
