Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this just dont ebay seeing this and ruining my chances if any of having my account reinstated.

Okay so I finally recieved the following reply from ebay today. A lot quicker than I expected. It's a tad long so I apologize.

The linked account was my brothers old acount which I mentioned in my introduction post. he has 3 negative strikes on it for refunding money and not following through with the order. He was a NOOB.

Let me know what you guys think. Do I have a chance or should I move on?


Hello MrEd,

Thank you for contacting eBay in regard to your 'uncleeddiestoysgifts'
account suspension. I apologize for the delay in my response to your
email. We are experiencing an unusually high work volume and are trying
to respond to everyone in a timely manner. I can certainly understand
your concerns and I will do what I can to help you understand why your
account was suspended. Please understand that eBay routinely reviews our
member’s accounts to protect you, as the account holder, and the rest of
our community.

After further review, your account was suspended because you have a
previous account that's still suspended, or you're allowing a suspended
member to use your account. Your account was linked by similar contact
information, financial information and / or account behaviour to
account: .............
When we suspended the original account, we sent out an email letting the
account owner know not to create a new account or use another member's
account. However, we know you may not be aware of all eBay policies,
and we want to work with you to avoid any misunderstandings.

For your information, you may review more about your Previously
Suspended User restriction by accessing the following link:

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/polici...suspended.html

However, at this time, both the original account and any additional
related accounts have been suspended. In order to resolve your current
account status, you must first resolve any and all associated concerns
on your originally suspended account: 02toyboy83.

Keep in mind that you can violate the previously suspended user policy
by allowing a friend, family member, or business associate who is a
suspended eBay user to use your account to bid or list.

If you do not recognize the suspended account listed above we recommend
that you contact any family members or acquaintances you have allowed to
use your eBay ID to determine whether it belongs to one of them.

MrEd, again your account restriction is due to your account being
linked to an associated suspended eBay account or you are allowing a
suspended member to use your account. We appreciate your efforts in
partnering with us to ensure we provide the best buying and selling
experience for our entire eBay community and once the original account
is in good standing, we look forward to working together with you to
review your account further.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Aaron D.

eBay Trust and Safety

If after this email you receive a survey on my performance, I would like
to ask that you take the time to fill it out. I always like to know how
I am doing and how I can improve. Thank you for choosing eBay.

Just move on with new accounts. I see you have purchased the stealth guide so now you will have the knowledge to make multiple succesful accounts if you follow it correctly. Best of luck to you!

Wow thanks for the fast response cardfelon. Yeah the Stealth Book is awesome! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone reading this. (except ebay)

I would not normally pay for an ebook but but since I've enjoyed browsing through this site and learned quite a bit, I thought the least I could do is buy the book support the site and get back on ebay.

So yeah, if theres not chance of getting my real account back guess I'll make another one when I'm ready.

Thanks for the reply man.

[cardfelon]

Your welcome. Look forward to having you contribute to the forum when you can.

[cobber_gc]

Will do. I'll let you guys know how my new stealth account is going ect. Once I master the art of changing ip address on my stupid cable modem. *Pulls out the Stealth Book from under bed*

As for my suspended account, I thinking I may just play dumb and try get my brothers old account reinstated just to see what they say. lol If they ask for more documents i'll just let it go.

Going stealth is best way to be link-free and start fresh. I say it is the BEST use of your time. Now, if you have time to spare, you can try playing dumb and getting those linked accounts fixed but I highly doubt it will go anywhere. Some people have had success but a lot of work is required.

All the best.

cobber,
you might want to edit your personal detail

[cobber_gc]

rsot Yeah I think you're right. I'll just let it go. Didn't even bother to reply to that.

I'd rather concentrate on getting back on ebay selling. Just need to fix my ip issue and new bank account under my name.

Can't make up my mind wether to use a po box or my actual store address. Just to make it easier for any returns I may need to recieve ect.

Thanks for the advice dude.
