In terms of eBay, we have all been in your situation before. Most of the people on this forum were honest sellers, selling legitimate products and had happy customers, yet eBay pulled the plug leaving us high and dry. Some of us were just doing the eBay thing for extra cash, and some of us were dependent on the income from our sales to survive. We have all heard the stories of losing homes, businesses and worse because of eBay.
At the time it happened to each of us individually, we thought it had to be a mistake, that we could email or call someone to get reinstated. That eBay would listen to us. But they didn't. We were dumbfounded because we believed that people banned by eBay were scam artists, counterfeiters and other types of lowlifes. This type of thing didn't happen to honest people like us. But it happens all the time.
Trust me when I tell you that eBay does not care that you are a single mother, they don't care how many kids you have and they don't care what type of situation they are putting you in by banning you. All they know is that your profile matched one of their theoretical risk models, so they had to cut ties with you.
You can call them, email them, go their offices or whatever, but their decision is FINAL.
Stealth is the answer. You can be back on eBay in no time at all. Using several accounts, you can rest easy knowing that eBay cannot shut you down 100% like they just did.
Stealth is not illegal, nor is it immoral. And it is not as difficult as it may seem to you right now. A little over a year ago, this happened to me. I couldn't even conceive of using stealth techniques back then, but it is now second nature to me.
Either get the
stealth guide or read the forums to find out what you need to do to get going again. It is all here. It might take a couple of days to sink in, but once you understand it, you will be back selling in no time at all.
Good luck and don't despair!
