Suspended account - not sure why...
A stealth account I've had sitting idle since June was suspended yesterday because of "concerns for the eBay community". The only I thing I listed was a test listing that didn't offer anything for sale. I'm guessing that is what has attracted attention. But I see "test listings" all the time!
Everything was fine - new info, new user account, new IP, new bank account, Entropay CC, confirmed as a business etc... The only thing I'd yet to do was upload documents to PayPal to remove the receiving limit. But my PayPal account is still active as far as I know - just eBay was suspended. I'll be hearing from their 'specialist team' shortly!
The suspension email from eBay asked me to upload:
1. Proof of identity (photo ID & utility bill)
2. Proof that the items I listed are in my possession (receipt or bill - no invoices allowed)
It's the second that's causing worry. Firstly, I hadn't actually really listed anything on eBay so how can I prove what I listed? (rather than what I had intended to list).
And secondly, they specifically said that they can't accept invoices as proof that the items belong to me. But the items I had planned on listing do belong to me, are from a legitimate supplier and an invoice is all the proof I have. It is basically a receipt. So why won't they accept it?
Is this account dead? I hope not as that was my last fresh bank account, and the last one I'm likely to get with my credit rating!
