WTF 1
Hi *****,

I have good news, your seller restrictions have been lifted!

I’m a manager on the seller experience team here at ebay. Once once upon a time you were restricted from selling on eBay due to our policies. Ebay has revised our seller standards for 2016 and made some significant improvements to the seller platform. As such, we have designed a new program with incentives to encourage you to start listing on eBay again.

This program is time-sensitive, so if you are interested in listing again, get back to me as soon as possible. I hope to hear from you soon and welcome back!

Warm regards,

+++ ********
Seller Experience Manager, eBay, Inc.

WTF 2
Currently, you can now list as many as 100 items per month and can do $5,000 in sales per month. If those limits are not enough, let me know and I can request higher limits. In order to get your limits raised, could you list an item(s) this weekend? If you’d like to talk about this, feel free to give me a call. I’m happy to help you start selling on eBay again!



Best,

eBay Wants you Back - Promotions Apply

Sounds great! Let me know if you would like some help or a limits increase request.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

That sounds kind of suspicious, anyone else ever seen emails like this?:attention:

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I doubt it's really from eb.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

Sounds exactly like ebay right now.

Why are you negative about this?

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I am just suspicious of anything related to eBay. also have got some really weird phishing emails lately, as well as some really aggressive phone scams is my area.:bump:

Re: WTF reinstated
 

Well I just listed three items. And no problem at all. I was suspicious at first but am not now. I was restricted for stupid silly reason. 500 positive feedback and 9 negatives, 8 from a crazy lady who bought 50 items at xmas and then wanted her money back and shipping back free.

10 lad points if you reply.

'Hi mate
Cheers for the offer but since you banning my account I've been on a journey with the help of askpin.com and have now got 20 accounts. Obviously you know ebay is a competitive marketplace and now my 20 accounts mean I'm selling 5-10x more than before.
I've been able to quit my job and do this full time (I recommend you do the same) and now sit at home in my boxers all day watching $s roll in while I pay gypsies to pack all my chit.
Having said that obviously 21 accounts is better than 20 so I'm prepared to use this 1 also but I'll be requiring a full apology and I want you to get a 'ebay are bellends' tattoo on your forehead'

That post above is absolutely crazy!!! On a serious note though if this is your genuine account with all your real details just take the offer and avoid selling on that account you can use it to buy and have your purchases delivered to your home address. Using that for selling purposes only puts this account at risk again

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I say Sell, Sell, Sell!!

Ebay has been generous lately. Should take advantage of it while we can or that is how I see it.

My problem now is I have old obsolete info on reinstated accounts. Going to be an accounting/paypal nightmare.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I kinda said that on the phone to paypal once, when the Dublin rep told me I could never use paypal again, after I called due to a limitation....I was already a member of the forum and had loads of other accs, so I asked him if he was sure I couldnt use them ever again, as I had just ordered something on one of my many accounts, his voice rose and he was really angry....well, it just annoyed me that he would say I could never use paypal again, when he wouldnt be able to stop me.....

Re: WTF reinstated
 

LOL.

This surely made my day.

Love your sense of humour

Re: WTF reinstated
 

heh, well usually I would not dare, because you dont want them to find links on you, cos you got personally on their nerves - especially Dublin....

but this paypal guy talked down to me so much, that I thought like Dan said above, I can buy and sell your a$$....and watch TV all day, whilst I do it...

Re: WTF reinstated
 

the day that eBay gives me my own name account back, thats the day that I'll send every member on this board a £2 token for a free pint... or a glass of milk, what ever you are into.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

tbh i think the cost of that would outweigh any benefits that account could bring lol

Re: WTF reinstated
 

£2 for a pint? nowhere Ive been lately...
maybe in a working mens club in a dump-hole town....

WTF reinstated
 

I know all my first ebay usernames from the top of my head. But the email addresses etc associated with them are long gone... Since I lost all hope in them being reinstated.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

Well am I up to 25 post and 4 sales. So I am just going to have this as another of my accounts, cannot hurt anything to post, worse that can happen is I get banned but I did nothing wrong the first time and my three stealth accounts have 99.9% positive feedback.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

Tesco value 4 pack of cans costs £0.63 so I think we'll be throwing it down like its 1995!

:bounce:

Re: WTF reinstated
 

grats bro... something similar happened to my original eB account registered in my personal legit details...

I didn't get any email like this but one day I logged onto my account to look around for fun and noticed I had a listing limit of 1k/10k, ~3 years after I had been 'indefinitely restricted' from selling.

Have been selling on the account casually since then and it's been going pretty well, but with my stealth accounts still going very strong it's not really a big find/success for me... just another backup if anything goes on with my main eb stealth accs.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

What are you doing?

Re: WTF reinstated
 

They've been doing that to people, I guess I'll wait a couple years and I''ll get the same ****ing message. Whatever.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I too just noticed an email from 4 days ago getting one account of mine reinstated...

Heres my take on this...Amazon has gained so much online market share away from eBay that I feel eBay has no choice but to relax their policies to try to get sellers back onto their platform. I've already started selling on Amazon and feel like migrating over entirely within a few months. It's just so much easier.

The only downside is not having immediate access to funds like PayPal.

I was able to list 100 items at $5000 max limit / month.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

I sold 12 items and they now have moved me from below standard to above standard. So I am slowly moving some of my stealth items to this one as both of my stealth are getting close to $20,000 in sales and don't want tax documents.

Re: WTF reinstated
 

Multiple accounts to spread sales are in order

you legend i cant stop laffing!
