Multi-Account - Some Suspended - Others OK Any ideas on what might have triggered the suspension?? Will my other accounts still active get suspended?
Background:
*I have been on eBay since 2005
* I use several accounts. I am a good seller, take good care of my customers (across accounts 98.8%, 7k+ feedback, DSR good on all accounts).
* I got one account suspended in 2009 (rough patch, suppliers issues during a month and it killed me).
* Despite the suspension, I was able to open several other ebay/paypal accounts and sell without a problem using my wife's maiden name/different mailing address. The suspension My main ebay account got suspended today. I am really bummed. It was generating ~$20K sales a month.
* The account was 2y old and in great standing.
* I sell generic health products with no famous branding
* I have an employee in France who has been uploading new items in ebay germany (~ 5 new items a day) since last month
* I was not really careful and over the years, I may have re-used a phone number or a shipping address from the suspended account.
* Paypal called me A LOT this year to ask about my business model. They slapped me with a 7% reserve due to risk. Ebay told me: * from email: " Your eBay account has been suspended because recent account activity has raised security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm--even unintentionally--to the eBay community.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.
* I called customer support and I was able to understand:
There is nothing I can do. It *might* have something to do with an old suspended account and sellers violations but they were 'not allowed' to tell me more. My account was flagged as "Extreme Business Risk" according to one rep.
The funniest thing is that they told me to go sell on.... Amazon !!
I have two other ebay accounts in great standing still selling as of today but one of the rep on the phone clearly told me that she saw them linked to the one that was suspended.
Will they get suspended too?
Thx
J.
