jman33 | 04-10-2011 07:18 PM | 2 seller accounts, one banned I just want to start off by saying that the customer service is completely useless on Ebay. After talking to 6 different people on the phone, I got 6 completely different answers and still no definite answer for my question. During one call, I was transferred to some guy who supposedly had knowledge in this topic and he told me not to worry, but I am still worried.
One of my accounts is a gold power seller, top rated, but I wanted to create another ID to sell my stuff on. I do sell VERO items, but all my feedback is positive and my DSR's are all good.
Anyway, I created the second account in my name using all my info from my power seller account (big mistake) and listed a BIN listing for 10 of the VERO items I usually list under my power seller account without a problem. A few hours later, the new account was suspended and a messaged popped up saying I need to contact ebay to give them my info. I called and they said since I am considered a risk, they could not reinstate that account.
I inquired about my other account and they told me it will be suspended shortly as well. Well, a few days have gone by and it's not. Other reps I've talked to were also able to link both accounts together but told me that since that account has such good feedback, there shouldn't be a problem with it since it was apparently checked and nothing was found wrong with it and to just continue selling and forget about the new account.
What do you guys think the end result will be? I've heard over and over that once one goes down they all do. But I would think since they were both so easily linked that they would have shut down both accounts at the same time by now.
My power seller account is still active and I can list items on there, but I am afraid to. And yes, I used the same name, phone number, and paypal for both accounts. Very stupid move, but I hope I can recover from this. |
