Please helpðŸ™
Just got a email from eBay saying my account has been permanently suspended yet I click my items and they are there or so they seem.
What could be going on?
I have been behaving like I’ve always behaved on eBay since 1998.
Got some private email from eBay England this morning and it looked suspicious so I deleted it and didn’t click on anything in it as I don’t ship Internationally.

No way! This is a scam! You've got one of the nicest most interesting shops I've seen.
Get hold of the facebook people:
https://www.facebook.com/ebayForBusiness/
They'll set it straight. Ridiculous! Seeing so many odd things on this site lately. Gotta wonder what's going on.
I wish you Good luck and all good things

·2 years agoIt may not necessarily have anything to do with this site, and may just be a routine email scam sent out in bulk. The OP has been very light on the details, such as how and where the message was received, and from what account (not eBay, presumably).

·2 years agoIn this case, no need to contact them. Their store is fine, they're not restricted, and there's no reason for them to do that. Forwarding the email as instructed by others is all that will be helpful to do.

·2 years agoDid you check to see if the email appeared in your Ebay emails? Or did it just come to your registered email account with Ebay?
Many times when a spoof email happens it can be easy to see mistakes in the email. Especially in the address in which it came from.
Please make sure you forward the entire email to spoof@ebay.com
If you want to copy and paste the email into the thread, blacking out any personal info. We may be able to point you to what we see in it that is concerning.

OP2 years agoThank you all for responding.
This kind of thing upsets me too much and I should know better to get so worried.

1. Did you check your eBay messages folder to see if the message is there?
2. If the message is in your email exclusively, what is the email address from which the message was sent?

You should have sent that email to the trust & safety dept at the real ebay. Scams are in full force right now, that grandparent scam is happening bigtime.
PS, I won't ask what's going on in your NYC, we know.

I assume Silver was talking about this: https://www.fcc.gov/grandparent-scams-get-more-sophisticated

·2 years agoYour account seems to be just fine. It was probably a phishing attempt. Good thing you didn't click that link. You are probably good so don't worry.

·2 years agoA scammer wants you to click some link within that email, which will lead you to a fake login page. Hopefully you did not follow any links in that email.
If eBay really wants to contact you they will use their own messaging system to do so.
