Been a while since I posted here, I didn't have any ebay issues recently. But a few days ago I got that dreaded your account has been suspended email. I tried to call customer service and beg my case but nothing they treat you like a scammer.
The reason given for my account being suspended is 'abusive buyer'. Last thing that happened on my account was I had a problem with a parcel and had opened a case and got a refund. Few days later ban hammer. Last time I had opened a case before this was years ago. So wasn't like I was constantly opening cases. I used this account for buying and selling (I realise now..thats wrong)
Seems incredibly harsh. I can't belive my account is gone for good, is there any chance to get it back?
If you say you were hacked could that work? Thanks

If tracking shoes delivered then seller protection kicks in ,seller gets to keep the money.
Ebay lost money refunding you out of its own pocket,so .
Ebay is protecting itself,it could happen again as your neighbor hood is not safe or you are not doing a good job securing your home?

the main mistake here is to buy such items on an older ebay account that is able to sell
ebay do not do any checks on buyers so nothing would stop you from opening a new buyer account under any details you like and you can open cases there without problems or even do chargebacks
but a potential seller account is gone

---------------------------------
Ebay has a way of tracking you when you sign on ,what you browse and what you buy,if you are using your regular device,then it must be you.
Paypal does the same ,

Hello, I'm very sorry about this, it happened to my sister's account, it was 8 years old. 345 sales made, 98% positive Facebook, maybe 27 purchases.
never an open case in sales or purchases.
I received the email informing me that I couldn't sell any more and that I was a danger to the community, I didn't understand that...
what did I do:
1. I opened several tickets and they did not respond
2. I called twice and asked what the problem was and they told me it was under the seller's standard. In this case I simply lost 8 years of a large account.
What I recommend:
If you need to continue selling on eBay, get a new stealth account to sell, if you want to make purchases too, find a second account.

You have backups right?

so there is more than one case,latest is the laptop?
most buyers will contact USPS,and file a FBI report.
Unfortunately since tracking shows delivered,USPS would do nothing.
if seller insured the package,it wont get the money either

It was this case and then last thing I got a refund on was about a year ago approx.
I did get some interesting information though from an agent after most say they can't tell you anything. The agent revealed the seller of the laptop had appealed the case and as I result I got banned. When speaking to an agent they were going through my account and asking about previous refunds I received in the whole history of the account including things that cost £2, that I didn't even open a case and it was the seller that has made a mistake when selling, can't beleive they take this into account. Crazy.

Crazy. | sadly, it's hard to predict the amount of buyer returns/cases that lead to ban but it appears this threshold has been reached.
on a side note, I use different eb accounts for selling and buying to avoid this kind of potential issue....

When you get suspended from selling sometimes they still allow for buying. Is that not possible the inverse? I have to imagine getting suspended from buying is pretty hard, unless you're doing chargebacks.
I don't see why you cannot speak to trust & safety and at the very least have you blocked on the buying side with ability to sell? If its a 15 year old account with active selling history usually they will be forgiving.

you can have selling privilege banned or buyer privilege banned,
A woman who lives in rural Mexico buys cheap trinklets on Ebay,sellers would just send by first class mail with no tracking and often they are stolen,so she would file INR.
Ebay suspends her buying privilege as she is a hazard to sellers.
