ebay watching me?
 

is ebay on to me?
My ebay was just suspended after about a month-two of having it.
It's a stealth all valid info basically, EXCEPT the phone #.
I used my friends number since my personal ones are in the ebay trash can.

anyways, ebay suspended. they told me its TOTALLY random. does anyone else smell bullsheet or does ebay always just smell like that?

---- Here's the email they sent me. ----

Hello 123 (123@gmail.com),

As part of eBay's security efforts, your account has been suspended pending additional account verification. To appeal this suspension, please go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/s...-accounts.html

Unfortunately, during the suspension you won't be able to use eBay in any way, including using existing accounts or registering new accounts. Any remaining listing fees are due right away and will be charged to the billing method you selected.

We understand this may be an inconvenience for you. However, keeping the marketplace safe is our top priority.

Sincerely,

eBay Trust & Safety team

I called them up, they told me it's a normal RANDOM procedure they do to newly established accounts, to make sure my information i posted is valid.

they want me to fax my ID & a bank statement.
I guess it's time to get creative!

Has anyone else had ebay do this?
Would it be easier to just make another ebay and attach it to the same paypal?
Ebay is suspended not ebay.

By the way, I only buy stuff on ebay. Why the heck are they bullying me

Let me know, thanks guys

Boy this question is getting asked a lot lately.

No, using a Good PayPal account that was once attached to a Suspended eBay will just link your new eBay account. Expect to be suspended shortly after listing your 1st item.

well like i said, i don't sell. I buy :croc:

I see you added that sentence to your thread after I posted.

i noticed i wrote *but* instead of *buy* :)

A very easy and simple way to remember what can and can not be used again: Nothing.

Try and think about it reasonably. They have this all computerized. Why would we be able to sneak by the system reusing stuff?? Its not like they have staff randomly physically looking at accounts like detectives to try and "find" stuff thats linked. Its all automatic. You reuse something and the system knows its been used before as soon as you hit enter... Instead of trying to figure out "if" something can be reused, just except it cant. Save a lot of time wondering when the answer is always the same: No
