Account Restriction Question

Ebay restricted my selling/buying privileges for 7 days for allegedly attempting to conduct a sale outside of their system. The following text was sent:

 

"As a result, your eBay buying and selling account privileges have been restricted for 7 days, which also restricts you from sending or receiving messages with eBay members unless you have had a recent eBay transaction with that member. You may also be subject to a range of actions, including changes to Seller Standards rating, application of fees, some or all of your listings ending or not being displayed in eBay search results, listing fees not being refunded for non-displayed listings, and restrictions on account features."

 

I understand that I can't send or receive messages, or list new items in that window, but will my current auctions still accept bids and conclude without any issues? In other words, does the restriction  affect items I already have listed, to include the ability to receive offers on my BIN/BO items?

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: Account Restriction Question

I still have the option to bid or make an offer on your listings.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

Re: Account Restriction Question

You're welcome.

Did you really do anything to get restricted?

The bots are getting weird around here and sending messages for anything they think may be an off ebay transaction.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

Re: Account Restriction Question

I used the word Paypal in a message  to answer a member's question and within a few hours I was restricted. I guess I will be less specific in my responses from now on!

Re: Account Restriction Question

Unfortuantely - many people have had the same issues and have been restricted due to the bots picking up certain words or terms in messages. You may want to come to the weekly chat on Weds and address the blues about this restriction.

I guess I did, I  listed a book that had a questionable title. So lesson learned on my side. Have  a great day and a better tomorrow, happy selling .

I'm going to guess some of your items should be in the adult only category.
