We were new sellers, too, for about a week. After all the time we spent preparing our merchandise,
listing all the details, purchasing shipping envelopes, etc., Ebay cancelled our account. We were selling 4
new items that received offers. Only problem was the offers ame in at the asking price. At first we figured
it was someone who didn't understand how to make a purchase. In between all of this we had one actual sale that was not an offer but a purchase. That went well. The other offers came in on new clothing.
Finally by the last offer, we realized something was strange and decided we needed to decline the offer. Should have done that right off the top but who knew? The scam Ebay used as an example was if the buyer asks you to sell your item for more money than you're asking. In the meantime, two of the people kept messaging us through Ebay to contact them via their personal phone number. We declined, and when they persevered and we reported them to Ebay. This all happened in the matter of hours. The result, our account was permanently suspended. No explanation? No way to get any answers. We tried to follow
the rules and to do the right thing. Unfortunately we still don't know what we did that was wrong? Good luck with your new venture. We hope you have more success that we did.
