As a long time user, it sounds like you would be greatly impacted by such a ban. Watch out! If you at all depend on eBay for your livelyhood, have a backup plan or parallel path. eBay is shit.
strange seeing all these old inactive accounts suddenly posting in this thread.
its like somebody actually took the time to create multiple accounts, to astroturf a given thread in the future. pretty pathetic use of time if you ask me.
I comment more on these types of threads (random banning by big corp who never provides reasons) than the random software project ones because these are more substantial
you can also take the opposite meaning from this signal. I haven't posted in 75 days, but a thread about ebay screwing people over was enough to get me to login.
> There's a variety of reasons why OP was banned, email, risk management, using vpn, shared ISP where people have been doing frauds from, other reasons.
And ebay shared none of them. I don't understand the need to jump in to make excuses for them when you have no more information than the rest of us do. Why make up reasons out of whole cloth?
I have been in eBay since 2005 and for some reason in 2021 they decided to put my account in "probation" mode and limit my amount of monthly sales to 150eur. They could as well have banned me altogether.
Your "I've never had problems" is just another anecdotal story like the op's. Why is your opinion that eBay is okay more acceptable to strangers than the op's opinion not to use it?
> my account was suspended.
> Don’t use eBay.
Been on ebay since 2001 and never had issues.
There's a variety of reasons why OP was banned, email, risk management, using vpn, shared ISP where people have been doing frauds from, other reasons.
This post really shouldn't be grounds to tell people not to use ebay, many people do successfully and have for decades.
