Account restriction indefinitely due to linked unknown account

Hello community, I was a ebay member since 2009. I have 100% positive feedback and 0 defect rate. End of last month suddenly I got a mail informing me that my account is restricted indefinitely due to associate to a account which is restricted. I spent long time to find owner of that account. I contact ebay every way I can Instergram, Messenger, Twitter and live chat. Some of them really help me and some not well. Ebay asked me to contact the owner of that account asked him to contact the ebay. Finally  I found the account holder. He used to be my IT maintainer where I used to worked. Sometime when my laptop broke he gave me temperately laptop to use. And last month I sent him a $ 113 through the payoneer. So ebay believe my account and his account both are belongs to one. I tried many ways to prove that there is any connection with him. I was selling handicraft which I made them myself. I really need to reinstate my account as I have only this account. Please tell me what should I do. Thank you.

You had a good run, selling since 2009 using a Paypal account in Sri Lanka.

Re: Account restriction indefinitely due to linked unknown account

@shiranthasanjeewa   The only Department at eBay that can help you is the Trust and Safety Department.  eBay has to protect their venue from hacked accounts so what happened to you is one thing they look for.  Since they can not see the actual people or laptops or computers they have to rely on the electronic history and information available to them which includes account IDs, IP addresses, WiFi networks, addresses, names, credit cards, etc.

Anyone else using that wifi connection will probably also be suspended.
