Vacation mode then suspended - Reinstated if I pay past due balance?
Hi friends.
Long story short, my shop was suspended in Feb 2024 after a handful of overdue orders/cases opened. The shop was initially put on vacation mode, but then suspended a day later after the card on file declined a refund.

I'm sorry to hear about your recent challenges. To restore your shop, you'll need to update your card on file and pay your overdue balance amounting to $xxx.
Once the payment is made, your account should be reinstated within 24 hours.
| Has anyone had their shop reopened after such a long time? Will they still need to review my shop after paying the fees?
Would appreciate some insight. Thanks. |
