Another Reason for getting suspended
 

Hi Everyone! Hope its a great holiday season so far.

I had an stealth account suspended recently and I was clueless why. Last couple of years I have had accounts suspended and re-instated mostly because I sell vero products. But this suspension threw me for a loop. I have bought about 40 items and only sold 7. This is an account i am preparing for next year.

They wanted the works. ID, Utility and supplier invoices.
After providing all the documents and contacting customer service I was told that my account was suspended because I offered 1 day processing, however the tracking number was not able to track until the 3rd day.

I was surprised because I always print labels right away and provide tracking number. However this time my postman didnt show-up for the next day pick-up and it all went out one day later then expected. Apparently ebay is verifying actual ship dates.

So I guess I just wanted to inform those that didn't know (like me) that if offer 1 day processing shipping then it better show up on usps next day or you can get limited.

Here is what the email response was:
