What category of sales? Quite a bit can depend on that for outcome.

its cameras and laptops, which i know is high risk if not the highest risk. very rarely get any issues except a refund if a customer is unhappy or changed their mind. this account was in my personal name and got banned after about 7 years. the previous account was also in my name and banned after more than 10 years...

Too many refunds and returns? Yes electronics is high risk but not the worst - 7 years...10 years...oof brutal I know the feeling - not over electronics though

Very generic message - typical nonsense. You have given all the documents needed?

if the account had a clean performance the only other reason is the anti-fraud system where they evaluate your turnover

the turnover must not rise significantly within a short period of time , 10%-20% per month should be the upper limit

Ebay asks you to review its user agreement,may be you can find your answer there.
May be they found some issues with the documents you submiitted?where do you buy your laptops and cameras from?

Business account with a new business name can work but about using the same ID, I'm iffy about given how eb scans and handles ID...possibie link is easily achievable.

Why not go creative route? Other UK members should post advice soon as well.

That feels like a good option - DL vs passport. Any other forms of ID accepted in the UK? I am only asking because I have only used DL or passport for creative UK matters...

It depends on why they restricted your account from selling,is it you or the merchandise you are selling.
Ebay and brand manufacturers are known to buy an item and see if it is counterfeit,eg,Tiffany,Chanel,Leica,Meissen,Rolex, AAPL
