Why my ebay account was suspended?

[Andy Lee]

It was back in April of 2010, my first ebay account was suspended indefinitely suddenly. Although I have set up new accounts now, I really want to know why it was suspended, so that I won’t make the same mistake in the future, I wrote my experience here and hope someone can give me some analysis regard why it was suspended, thanks in advance!

It was a new account, I never had any ebay account before, in the first 3 months, I only sold some cheap decorations, the account slowly gathered around 45 positive feedbacks, one neutral; no negative, DSR one is 4.8, others are 5.0; from the 4th month, I changed to sell a new electronic product, this product was expensive, I sold 157USD/pc,after I sold several ones, all my listings were removed and the account was suspended, then I appealed, but they decided to suspended my account indefinitely without telling me any reason; the factory told me the electric product I sold was a new product just designed, the patent had not been applied for, so it will not involved in Vero issues; Here are some reasons I supposed:

1.I applied three ebay accounts on the same computer with my name;

2. The title and description is partly copy from another seller, but I have made some revisions; The picture of the product is given by the factory, other sellers also use the same picture;

3.In the product description, I wrote” We are an authorized distributer of this product",actually,I wasn't; the inventory quantity of all listings are 10000 pcs; I have a few listings for this product; actually, I only have 10 in stock;

That's all, anyone knew the real reasons? Many thanks!

Welcome to the forums.

Electronic items are always high risk AND changing to a high value item can be flag but let's look at the qs of yours...

1. 3 eb accounts on one comp all LINKED...yes risky.

2. Partly copy is dangerous.

3. Yes that is also dangerous.

Best to read around the forums +/- stealth guide to learn how to set up unlinked accounts.

Are you able to say what the product is? Maybe it was a copy of someones product?

What did the suspension or take down say?

I think all of the issues you posted could have been a problem.

This is what ebay wrote me:

We're sorry to tell you that your account was suspended because of
serious concerns that you might be acting inconsistently
with the letter or spirit of eBay policies. We've taken this precaution
to protect our members while we make sure the
matter doesn't lead to harm -- however unintentional -- to the eBay

This is the second time they replied me after I appealed again:

Thank your contacting me. My name is Blake and I would be happy to
resolve this issue for you.

I have read your e-mail and reviewed your account information. Im sorry
to tell you that after reviewing all the available information we have
determined that your account poses too high a security risk to be
reinstated.

While I am not able to discuss the specific reasons we have made this
decision i assure you it was not one that was made lightly

It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for contacting eBay.

The electronic product I sold was range finder, not a copy, it was a newly design by the factory.
