I see people talking about account suspension...!
So, what is it that you do wrong?
An old saying comes into my mind...
If you have two similar length sticks and you want to make one short the first idea that crosses the mind is to make one short but what you actually need to do is make one long so the other automatically becomes short..
Think again see what wrong you did. Follow seller guidelines and do your own research. Learn and Sell. Be brave but honest.
Good luck

this it just a metaphor. physically its impossible but thinking positively might help in most cases
Actually it's not that difficult with a stick of gum, a stick of most types of metal, plastic, etc. It's just more difficult with some sticks than with others.

How do you make an existing stick longer?
I used to get lots of emails promising to sell me pills that could do that... 😁

LOL!! Good to know that if you think positively your account wont be suspended.

Looking at the recent posts from suspended sellers, I’d say not buying/selling cheap intangible items for feedback and not dropshipping mass produced tat or counterfeits from China is much more effective than positive thinking.

Well, that would be impossible except for one situation. If one of the sticks is still on the tree, then it will grow longer, while the other one will not.
I think that possible the point of this saying is to look at the problem in a different way, from a different viewpoint. Think outside the box.

I remember that from my Military days.

Took me a second or two but I finally got it.

Me too, but I don’t even have a stick.
