Always have the same Problem. HELP
 

On many Stealth accounts i have created and run for a while

Whenever its time to send in Utility Bill/Invoice/ Business Plan

I always then get restricted from Selling this is after they have given an increase

Although they leave my status as a buyer

Can someone give me an insight why this happens

Re: Always have the same Problem. HELP
 

It's either:-

(1) What you are selling

or

(2) Poor seller metrics (slow dispatch, cases opened, etc, etc)

or a combination of both.

there is no such thing on ebay as "it's time to send invoice"

the fact alone they have been asking you to send invoices and proof of address means that you are already red flagged because of suspicious activity

Re: Always have the same Problem. HELP
 

when you say "on many stealth accounts"...are you always selling the same items with same photos etc?

Re: Always have the same Problem. HELP
 

This is correct.

You're on the radar and they just want to double check than banning you is the right decision.

They're pretty good as spotting doctored info and papers.

Then again, maybe they just don't want your business once they've see your plan.


As an aside, are you registered as a business?

Yes if they are not too sure they will restrict you and suspend payments, then they will ask for invoices and ID, if you have not made it past here your account is deemed as unsafe.

-C'mon,thats ridiculous,if so,many will be banned.

in nearly 100% of cases ebay request an invoice for one of the below reasons:

a) account was restricted for any violation and invoices are asked for by default when you apply for reinstatement

b) the relation between account age/selling history and value of items sold/listed is disproportionate

in the former there are better chances of getting reinstated than in the latter because invoice request is not always connected to high risk sales

I’ve had 2 MC011 on two different stealth accounts selling phakes they left the listings live on both accounts and requested invoices i’ve provided one invoice for one account obviously the invoice is doctored and i was expecting them to then request id and proof of address etc but to my amazement they reinstated the account lol, i still have to send invoice for the other account though but very weird i think if your listings remain active once you receive a restriction message then your in with a good chance of being reinstated.
