Just got suspended... MC152
 

Just got suspended... actually I don't know why...
Here is the email:
I haven't listed any BRAND item or anything like that...
Anybody knows what is MC152?

Thanks

You probably were linked to another account.

How old is this account? And how did you set it up?

Wicked :confused:

That's just so darn sweet of Ebay it brings tears to my eyes. I'm getting all weepy over that deep concern about wellbeing.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall and listen to the banter back and forth of what schmoozy PC ooze to put in their latest Dear John/Jane emails.



.

It was from 11th of Jun.
Whole new computer, new ISP, new name, address, phone, email, new CC (virtual), new paypal account...

What I did wrong?

I know they make it sound like its nothing and they know/or dont know they are ruining peoples lives.

What is a MC 152 Suspension
 

daredevil

It appears that MC 152 suspension happens if you have missed a phone call from
ebay.There are two posts above this that explain the problem. Read it carefully
as it has information that should resolve the matter.;)

Possibly nothing. Read this.


"As seen eBay does not want new sellers, but was not nice enough to tell it as it was. Thus, even as we speak, newcomers are trying to set up shop at eBay, just to find out in a few days, or weeks, that they are unwelcome (receiving the standardized template suspension message) and then wasting their time and energy trying to get reinstated – which they, of course won’t. "

It is important to understand that once suspended, eBay WILL NOT reinstate a user again, as part of its latest strategy – faxing, or emailing eBay is pointless. Thus, as part of ’s latest 2008 random suspension, a user applying by fax to eBay for reinstatement will receive ONE of the following:

a) NO RESPONSE

Some responses by former eBayers, who have been mistreated and abused

One of my accounts was killed for miscategorization of digital items. This account was 6 months old. But that account uses the same paypal account as my powerseller unsuspended one which is 7 years old. So, does anyone know if age of the account has anything to do with paypal linkage suspension?

I've got ebay suspension today and the notice is like this:

I dont know what to do to prove to you that these items are legit. Reinstate my account.

But I am not doing anything wrong. No one will tell me why my listings
are being pulled. I received them all as gifts. What is different
between this and buying them from Best Buy and selling them? Is that
wrong now too?

WTF?!

Modee....Did this happen today? Unbelievable?

MC017 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay
 

OK, so i have been selling under a bogus eBay account for nearly a year (silver power seller 640+ feedback), and also using another bogus account for 3 months (30+ feedback). i receive an email from eBay for my newer account stating they are removing my listing beacuse of the seller non performance act garbage(had 3 negatives by the way). an hour later that account is suspended and so was the other power seller account. they sent an email saying "We're sorry to tell you that your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay community." its been a few days since this happen since i owe them 500$ in fees total for both accounts i figured i could move on and start over, i opened an account today, of course i deleted my cookies and changed the ip and stuff, then an hour later i get the same exact email from the previous accounts, how did they get me and what should i do???:confused:

HI, Egypt--they got u from either same pics/descripts/email/paypal--something..

Did you get the Stealth book?

Its in there--the Secrets to getting back and STAYING back on.. :)

no way i highly doubt, everything is different, if it was that why did it take them a year to get me?

and the account i just opened today, was not even used to sell or buy anthing

Define 'stuff.' Did you make a completely new ID or use some old information.
If you had the two old accounts working fine and ebay had been paid
some fees (haha), they will let you have the two accounts. BUT once
any account has problems, then the chance is high of all accounts
going down.

MC063 SNPD NOTICE: Restricted Account, help needed
 

Hello fellows, I received the following alert a few days ago:
.................................................. ..............................................
MC063 SNPD NOTICE: Restricted Account – xxxxxx (xx650)
Dear XXX (xxxx@xxxx.com),

We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been restricted from buying or selling on eBay because it is in breach of our Seller Non-Performance policy.

Our records indicate that buyer satisfaction with your account has worsened significantly over the past 30 days. To help keep eBay a safe place to trade we have ended your open listings and temporarily restricted your account.

Your account will remain restricted for the next thirty days to allow you to settle these issues. During this time you won't be able to make any new purchases or list any items. We've ended any open listings.

***About eBay's Seller Non-Performance policy***

All eBay sellers must perform in a manner that results in a consistently high level of buyer satisfaction. If a seller is in breach of the Seller Non-Performance policy and eBay may take action against their account.

For more information about our Seller Non-Performance policy, copy this link into a new browser window:

Seller Non-Performance

Here's what you should do now:

For the time being you will have limited access to your account. Please use this time to conclude any outstanding transactions in a manner that results in the highest possible level of customer satisfaction. You should also ensure that any open "Item Not Received" or "Item Not as Described" disputes are resolved during this time.

To view all disputes open against you, sign in to My eBay and click "Dispute Console". You can respond to the buyer in the Dispute Console, or send them an email from the item page.

Here's a few tips for ensuring buyer satisfaction and good Detailed Seller Ratings:

- Indicate postage costs and time frames clearly and package the item well to ensure it's delivered safely.
- Contact your buyer as soon as possible if any problems arise at your end, such as a delay in posting their item.
- If a buyer contacts you with a concern, you should respond promptly and personally. Most problems can be quickly resolved with a friendly conversation. Phone the buyer directly or send them an email asking them to phone you.

What happens next?

We'll review your account again after 30 days. If buyer satisfaction with your account has improved significantly the restrictions will be automatically relaxed or lifted.

If your account standing has not improved (i.e. you haven't resolved disputes, and completed any open transactions), your account will be indefinitely suspended.

Please be advised that this account restriction does not relieve you of your obligation to pay any fees that you may owe to eBay. You may not close your account while it is restricted.
Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.
.................................................. .............................................

I’m Platinum PowerSeller with some 2500 feedback. During the last 12 months I have received some 700 positives, three neutrals and two negatives. The two negatives were received last week during a period of decreased sales, when positive feedback for the last 30 days was down to less than 40. My customer satisfaction during the last 30 days was therefore down to 94.74%, last 3 months 99.05%, last 12 months 99.26% Average DSR 4.7-4.8% One of the negatives came from a deadbeat bidder who answered he would pay but since he remained silent for the next two weeks he was blocked and strike was given. Two days after the strike he decided to pay and directly responded with an INR dispute before even the payment cleared! This buyer was immediately reported to eBay but they just didn’t care.
The other negative came from a user who purchased wrong item and expressed his dissatisfaction directly through feedback, never letting me know that he was not happy with the product. Since he became a NAIRU over a week ago, I am now down to one negative (0 neutrals) during the last 30 days.
But before this happened I reported one seller to Thrust and Safety for copying my listings. A few days later I received a reply that they would take care of the problem. Since I’ve been inquiring to get an account manager for a long time with no luck, I took the occasion and replied to this email expressing my dissatisfaction with the fact that I never got any answer to any of my emails regarding the account manager issue. The next morning after sending this email my account was restricted for selling and buying for 30 days (MC063 SNPD NOTICE).

Could it be just a coincidence that this restriction occurred just hours after my email to Trust and Safety Department complaining about the lack of account manager or should I assume that it is due to low 94.7% customer satisfaction/one INR dispute?? Wasn’t the 5% customer dissatisfaction always counted upon the last 3 months? And if not when was the "last 30 days" period imposed?
Any ideas on how to solve an INR dispute when I don’t get any answer from buyer who filed it? (tracking info added, item delivered). What are the chances to get my account reinstated once my last 30-days negative fades away? And what is the probability that my account will just get suspended for longer time or forever?

Would eBay ever restrict an account for any other reason than the one expressed in notification email?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

HI: They want you to be at 98%-although they say 95.. Also they want a PS dsrs to be at 4.8.
Its just routine.. Get your dsrs up/pos fb up--you need to do alot of emailing and Nice Talkin to your customers to get them to leave you pos fb,, esp 5/5 scores..

BTW--dont OPEN A NEW ACCT--before u read aspkins ebook/stealth-- OR--your problems will TRIPLE!!! :)

ebayhateluv: Do they expect me to be at 98% accounted for last 30 or 90-days? Hard to get those scores up in the middle of dead season.

What do I do about INR dispute (initiated as revenge for UI strike) while buyer just ignores me. Will my willingness to refund/replace expressed through communication panel do? Or are there other smarter ways?

Modee: My restriction seem similar to yours, although different MC-code, however it seems like you are still able to buy as opposed to me. Did you even receive any answer (other than generic) from T&S yet? Didn’t yet bother to email them.

new suspension code
