Thank you for updating your account information.

Then 35 mins later;

Your eBay account has been suspended because recent account activity has raised security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm--even unintentionally--to the eBay community. 

Unfortunately, you won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account. 

Any outstanding fees will be due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

We appreciate your understanding.

Thanks,

eBay

You should have spent five minutes reading unless you are prepared you never call them

[Dmshark25]

Unfortunately this is what happens alot when calling in for whatever reason, you end up putting a Manuel review on yourself and one thing that is off ebay says why even risk it and shuts you down

[jeffweico]

It is possible that the IP your VPS was on is known to eBay. They have lists of IP address ranges for major VPS and VPN providers - if your IP matches their list, you get banned. Usually this happens with either the larger well-known providers or the super cheap $5 or $10 per month VPS's.

One of the dangers of using VPN or VPS. Also demonstrates the danger of calling EB

VPS may have contributed to this.

High chance it is known to eBay and pp

What is the reason for its us

[Jokur]

Will I still be able to withdraw my money I sent out the items i was selling,

[mobilecontractsuk]

If your PayPal has not been suspended then withdraw ASAP.

[rsot]

If your PP is unaffected OP, withdraw the money as you deem fit - slowly, steady - make sure your sales are complete with items received and feedback left.

For future purposes, learn stealth and dont call for more limits right away.

All the best. Read more posts about this same matter
