Trying to reinstate a suspended account
So back in January I bought something from a buyer, then changed my mind about it, and she got really upset and messaged me saying that I am blocked from buying from her ever again and that she reported me to eBay. Now, this happened the same day that I listed my very first item for sale, a $30 backpack, which I stupidly used a photo that wasn't mine (pic I found of the backpack on google images). Few days passed and nothing happened. Then I log into my account one night to find that it has been suspended and my listing removed.
Why was I suspended? Was it because of using a photo that wasn't mine, or because that seller reported me?
After that I got really upset and made account after account(just to buy, never to sell). And each time they got linked I just made a new one. it seems if I just buy it is ok but as soon as I list something I get shut down in like a few minutes.
So im thinking about making another new account, purposefully getting it suspended (listing a regular item because that always seemed to trigger suspension) and then calling ebay and asking If they can reinstate it.
I'm nervous about calling them. What will they ask me? Are my offenses really serious or can they be overlooked? its not like I was selling illegal items or owe ebay fees or anything...
Can anyone give me answers or advise me on how to handle this situation? I just want to be able to sell a few of my old things. |
