Hi
I see a few people in this thread mention that they're getting a fresh start using real details... is it confirmed that you can now use previously banned details on a new/existing account and you won't get banned?
I ask because I have a personal converted business account (MP deadline was 11 June.. 4 days ago) which is selling fine and I had another business account which got banned for no reason. It had all my ltd company details on it and I'm scared when signing up for MP if I put the ltd company details on my personal converted business account it will flag and I will get banned... any thoughts?
None of this was stealth info - all business and identity details were legit in my name

Yep I’ve had the same happen to 2 accounts however these accounts were using real details from family members but with creative docs got the same old crap as stated by the thread master that I need to contact Luxembourg to have my funds released.
I suspect that even if you use real details you cannot send creative docs in for verification because they can verify the docs using Aydens verification software as stated in previous threads.

I just had the same problem as the OP. Dealing with £986 loss.
Account in question is an 8 year old stealth account. Added real bank details to receive payouts for Managed Payments. This was about 6 months ago.
Everything was going smooth. Was able to set up listings with no problems and was getting paid with zero issues.
Then I sold something for £900 and another item for £86. Suddenly I was requested to provide ID to keep receiving payouts.
Being a complete idiot and without reading the forums, I went and just uploaded the original stealth ID that I used 8 yeas ago
Verification obviously failed but I was naive in thinking they would just manually try to match it with what was on record and give the account the go-ahead.
The money still shows as "available" in my account but there is no scheduled payout. So it's essentially locked. My question is:
Is it still too early to say they release the funds after 60-70 days or is this something that's been experienced here?? I'm literally effed and it's not even funny but oh well. Was my own mistake for being stupid

Some people can continue selling for a while but if checks do not pass they will be suspended. This may easily happen to new residents too , for example you move to the UK , live here for a couple of years without doing anything in terms of credit history and you will be suspended as well despite sending a genuine passport

If I remember correctly, I was asked to verify personal details and then bank details.
I just ignored uploading an ID but did add a genuine bank account. I was able to list items and received payouts up until last week.
Then I sold an expensive item and the ID verification became mandatory. Even now I'm able to list items but there is no scheduled payout. The money that's in my account is just sitting there with eBay removing the entire payout system.
I just want to know **IF** anyone has eventually had this money released?? Back in the day, whenever PayPal would ban you they would release funds after 180 days. I got no other option but to hope eBay do a similar thing with me.

Before this £986 problem, I sold exactly £1226 worth of stuff with zero payout issues despite them asking me to upload an id.
But as soon as £900 came in they flagged my account. That would put my account past the £2000 mark. That's the red zone, probably.
After numerous enquiries in online chat, I was finally told I was too much of a risk. Basically I got the same generic response as the OP. I went and changed my account details and went back to online chat. They told me the decision can't be appealed no matter what I do.
It's funny because I have active listings and I know for sure the moment I get paid the money is gonna be stuck with no scheduled payout. I will have to just end those listings unless I can get the buyers to pay me outside of eBay which is another nightmare in and of itself lol

In words hard to understand, the comments got made that it was their right to
retain funds.
It was also never stated how the user/seller/us could be royally messed with if there were issues.

By the way i recovered most of my funds by sending a refund to the buyers (you can refund even if your mp account is frozen and even issue refunds that dip your mp into negative upwards to negative 1000 GBP) then a message with my bank details and paypal details to the buyers email as well as in a private message explaining im having issues getting the money from ebay
Now eBay is messaging me daily to pay them back the 1000 gbp i owe them as they refunded the buyers from their money but they can suck it
Some didnt pay but a lot paid back when they saw the refund appear on their account
One older woman even crafted me a cheque i scanned with starling and had it deposited with no issues
Just something you guys can use to recover some funds from these "dead accounts"
Overall i recovered maybe 35%-45% of customer payments i refunded which put me at dead even and ebay at -1k gbp
