Account restricted
 

I got my account restricted, the usual BS allowed me to continue selling for another 40+ days, the ones that were live stayed up, but didnt auto renew after the pre restriction listing went the full 30 days.

Items that were live continued selling, accumulating funds on hold. Now, I have over $4000 tied up. I was expecting the account to get reinstated, but nope, permanently restricted. Not suspended as they are allowing me to continue buying if I want, just not selling. The issue I see is that since it's restricted, managed payments aren't releasing funds. Will it automatically release after 180 days from the day it was initially restricted? That was back in November 2023. Or is it 180 days after the appeal was denied and permanently restricted? Or will they just say FU and keep my funds?

was restricted due to INR cases.

how manY INR?
How do they know if all your buyers have received their items?
You provide tracking?

He said $4k.
If buyer files a chargeback,you pay $20 chargeback fee.

do you ship all the items yourself?????

Re: Account restricted
 

All buyers got tracking, i would say over the last 180 days. maybe 20 INR cases with about 1500 items sold

I didn't know this, but any customer that now opens a chargeback, you loose all protection, even for "didn't authorize", once a restriction is placed, you loose all cases.

Re: Account restricted
 

what is the amount on hold?

Re: Account restricted
 

MP releasing funds is usually 45-60 days from past experience but perhaps 180 days due to your INR claims...you will have to wait

Re: Account restricted
 

It is unfortunate that we sell and ship products on time and customers in 2 months or more can open a case and take our money. It is one of the negative things about selling on eBay, but sometimes that can happen once in many sales.

Re: Account restricted
 

Is that 180 days on restricted, or only suspended, i'm wondering why i still get the message, "your payouts are currently on hold because your eBay account is restricted. You'll start getting paid again when your account is reinstated" Since my account will never get reinstated, will they just keep it?

Re: Account restricted
 

$4000 means that the account needs to be suspended and verified to get the funds released or restriction needs to be removed. if the account is just restricted they do not do payouts

Re: Account restricted
 

OK, but they will not suspend it perhaps for a loop hole on their end, who knows, so how can i get the funds, close the account perhaps?

Re: Account restricted
 

closing the account is a good option if it is verified

Re: Account restricted
 

closing account would not get y our fund released.
It would release the fund when it feels certain there would not be any dispute.which means 180 days

Re: Account restricted
 

180 days from account closure , if not closed or suspended or reinstated the funds will not be released

I actually tested this myself as I had two unused accounts that got restricted with some balance back in 2022 as I was using payoneer for payments

nothing was released until earlier this year when I applied for removal of restrictions and was reinstated

Re: Account restricted
 

Yes, you lose ALL protection, they will refund every complaint that comes your way.

Re: Account restricted
 

i got my funds relased after 60 days on some ****ty accounts i payed on facebook (Sri lanka) yesterday (200 euro on payoone). Suspended account
i suppose its just the type of items you sell, i dropship

Re: Account restricted
 

Generally they will wait a certain time to release them, if they are low value items they will refund much faster than others who sell products over $300

Re: Account restricted
 

logical approach from their standpoint

Re: Account restricted
 

Well, just an update and to quell all the possibilities.

This is what happened, account got restricted, allowed me to continue selling until they didn't relist, accumulated a nice sum. Felt certain they would remove the restriction, but alas, they didn't. The account was open to buy, not sell. I logged in earlier this week and all funds said request payout, i hit to the request link and waiting for the big red screen to appear, but nope, got the green go and then 2 hours later, funds sent message. Payout hit my bank and now all is good.

So, long story short, even with a restricted account and less than 120 days, the funds got auto released without a single call or message from me to customer service.

It was a nice unexpected windfall.

Re: Account restricted
 

it is good , on my restricted accounts nothing of that sort ever happened , I still have a couple of accounts where I buy and the old balance is frozen
