not a great move with this account - you have backups?

One time I bought Inuyasha season 1 from an ebay seller. A year later I decided to resell it because I ddin't like that it had no subtitles. I sold it for the same price I bought it. Told the buyer that I realized my version was blue rather than the red that most other listings had up. Just after I got home from shipping the item I found my account restricted and the buyer got his money back and the item and my account was banned on the spot.

I later found out that the buyer is a user on gamefaqs where I also visit from time to time. He just happened to be on the board that I posted my ebay complaint on.

Yeah, I wanna sell those purses that retail for $5 grand. $5 ****ing grand! I would quit my job if I had that much. That is what I make in 1 whole year's worth of work part time in my late 20's now and I can't make a ****ing dime.

Sorry for rant.
Private message me so I can get more details on these paintings lol

Hey, that’s tough! eBay can be strict, but with your stats (98% positive feedback and 7K ratings), it seems unfair. Try reaching out again—politely but firmly—and ask for a detailed review. Sometimes persistence pays off. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Bit of an old post but fair advice - not sure if that user is active these days...

Sounds like an AI statement - new stealth accounts are always good

Is there anyone who has actively witnessed an eBay account being permanently closed or restricted and who has reopened that account?

My Seller Ratings went down during December, but were great for January with the same volume. I called customer service and was told nothing can be done. I need to pay over $10K in fees in the next week. My feedback is over 7,000 at 98 + % with over 1200 positive a month and only 8 negative for January 2011. Should I ? Any chances they will reinstate my account? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Once they take down your listings, thats that.
Open a new account this one is done.
