Restricted from selling indefinitely
 

I was restricted from selling on Jan. 28th. I have 99.2 feedback score and 11 one or two star ratings within the past year. I talked to ebay and they actually asked me what happened. I was like, you tell me. I went form a top rated power seller to permanent restriction within a 2 week time period. After he looked into it he told me that he couldn't go into details about my account because if he did i could circumvent the issue. What is that supposed to mean?
How delicate is an eBay seller account? There are people on here that are getting 150 negative feedback a month. I was never worried about mine because of that fact. I guess im a fool for thinking that. Does anyone have any insight as to what might have happened?

DSR's are more important than anything, that is the main factor in your accounts life. 11 low,DSR's is a lot , you can get a positive feedback but a low DSR and the more important factor is the low DSR , so that positive is really a negative

I didnt realize that a seller account was so delicate and subject to be restricted over so little. I tried to fix things but before i could i was restricted. I have another account but it is limited to $1500 a month now and it will probably be restricted when i list something.
After i do some research i will open a stealth account or two. I look forward to learning from you guys.

Ebay is ultra sensitive right now, even on decade old cash cow accounts. According to the wall street journal August 2013 ebay limited 14,000 top customer care accounts that month alone.

You are right on ebay being ultra sensitive after 2012. I have had 10 + yrs a/c w/ ebay but they dumped me last dec. 213..:deadhorse: ..As far as your account BACAG2012, I think its all about DSR ; moreover, some stupid customer complained about it. Perhaps a competitor? You will never know..
According to wall street journal, Eay suspended about 15,000 accounts and mine is one of them....lol

they have been getting more sensitive, but I feel like these last 2 months have been particularly bad.

Re: Restricted from selling indefinitely
 

I am trying to do my part. When they suspend one of mine, I create 3 more. And sometimes when they don't suspend one of my accounts, I still create 3 more.

Re: Restricted from selling indefinitely
 

If I get one customer leaving poor DSR I list a lot of cheap freepost items and get my friends and their friends (different accounts) to buy them and leave 5* DSR. Not had to do this for some considerable time but I aways have the backup plan.

List the items as payment on collection or send money via bank transfer to use for Paypal payments - worth it to keep your account no?

Listed items MUST be genuine in case a real buyer bags them.
