Success -Got Indefinite ban removed after 14 years !
 
Unbelievable: eBay reinstated my account after an 14-year permanent ban!
eBay permanently banned my account 14 years ago. Over the years, I appealed about three times, and they rejected me immediately every single time.A few days ago, I decided to try one last time, fully expecting a swift rejection. Instead of an automated "no," they sent me a list of about 20 verification questions asking what I plan to sell, my dispatch times, etc. After answering, they actually gave the account back.Honestly, I don't even care anymore. I moved on years ago. For a long time, I had to throw items away or give them to charity because there was nowhere else to sell. For the last four years, I've been happily using Vinted, Gumtree, and Depop.It is obvious eBay is scrambling for buyers and sellers because they are losing ground to other platforms. Years ago, I used to run six stealth accounts with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ names and addresses, but I closed them all down over five years ago when they managed payments through bank accounts instead of PayPal.They will be lucky if I ever sell anything on there again. I think I'll just stick to using it as a buyer. Has anyone else noticed them randomly reversing ancient bans lately ?

When they switched to managed payments a few years ago they basically gave everyone a fresh slate. Seller amnesty if you will, lol.


You should be very careful with that account now that you have it selling again because it's nearly impossible to create new accounts that function long term, after you've had an account banned from this new eBay ecosystem.

That's a looooong time. If you change your mind and decide to sell on it, treat the account as if it's a brand new account. Otherwise they will re-ban it again.

I went on the live chat with us link. I was messaging them. Then after about 3 days they send me an " congratulations you've improved your seller performance " email.
They only gave me a selling allowance 20 items a month or £ 1000 a month limit.

Live chat - was messaging them.
Thanks James ! 😊
I have no plans to use it thought after reading many posts on the forum it seems after all this time Ebay never got its act right peanalising genuine sellers over ridiculous things and random account restrictions and bans.
They can go to hell ! I long gave up and forgot about Ebay!
I only bothered with them cause on the seller dashboard they kept showing my selling allowances as 300 a month even thought my account was infinite banned !
So I told them , " you have misleading info placed on my account you banned me but still you given me 300 items a month to list".
Remove the 300 items or allow me to list amongst other idiotic things.. and their intrusive long winded questioning..... of why I want my selling privileges back, my intentions of how I will communicate with buyers, how i will post items , if I will be selling alone or having help, what will be my dispatch time, what will be my response reply back time, what items will I be selling, do I understand the reason why they banned my account initially
.. blah blah ..
Thanks but no thanks E- trash ! 😆
