My eBay account was permanently restricted.

[segam_2524]

eBay recently permanently restricted my eBay account from selling, they sent me a MC011 to handle, and I took the required steps, they needed additional info and I submitted it, then when I went to send my proof of ownership, the next day, I see a message:

We are committed to reducing both fraud and negative buying experiences on eBay. To maintain a safe marketplace, we sometimes restrict selling activity, end active items, or suspend accounts until an additional review can be completed. We have completed an additional review of your account and show that your account was originally restricted because it was in violation of eBay policy and your behavior posed a risk to the eBay community.

Because of this, we have decided that your account will remain indefinitely restricted from selling. We have taken this action out of concern for the safety and integrity of the eBay Community. Due to eBay policy, we cannot provide you with more specific information.

We understand that this situation may be frustrating; however, although future emails from you will be read, we will be unable to respond to any further requests to reinstate your selling privileges..

Please keep in mind that members who are restricted are prohibited from registering new accounts with eBay, or selling on eBay using any existing accounts. Although, you are still eligible to purchase items with this account, please note that eBay reserves the right to suspend existing accounts as well as new accounts opened by anyone in the same household of a restricted user or by any other associates of a restricted user.

We appreciate your time.

Kind Regards,

eBay Trust and Safety

I messaged support and they REFUSED to give any information or just ended the chat right as I brought up the topic.  One agent replied and told me my appeal for the permanent restriction was denied, yet, I never received anything to give an appeal. I will never approve eBay for this, all I wanted to do was to have my account reenabled for me to sell my items once again, yet they won't give any information. The previous problem was resolved and eBay told me that then I just needed to grant my information. eBay is also holding all my money and now my bank account is going horribly as that was used to get stock for those orders.

Good Job Ebay!!! You got this one correct.

[short_circuit.lineman61]

In the past year 76 positive, 3 neutral, 7 negs!!!

I had to tell you - you are done at eBay.  Those mystery boxes aren’t allowed.

[wrong66]

Selling unclaimed mail? Are you serious? Yeah, eBay definitely got this one right. What were you thinking?

[inhawaii]

Well, I certainly have to give you credit for originality.

[inhawaii]

I'm not sure what's worse.

Someone who sells unclaimed mail or someone who would buy unclaimed mail.  😉

Wow!

@segam_2524 

Were those buyers received just 1 of the items shown in each of the lots?!?!?

What does this mean? 

"Incudes:
The amount of packages/mail you purchase along with type of unclaimed packages you buy."

Pure entertainment… how on earth did you come up with such an idea… I needed that!! 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The previous problem was resolved…”

No it wasn’t.

You don’t need to contact eBay to know why this restriction happened. There are 10 poor feedback in the last month, all complaints about the unclaimed mail listing.

First, no one can just do what they want on eBay. There are rules and policies we all accept to sell here. That includes “grab bags”, (i.e. unclaimed mail).

Second, even if you had followed the rules in the Chance Listing policy, what did you think would happen by showing numerous unclaimed packages in the listing, and then sending the buyer substantially less? 
 

Buyers were misled, rules broken. The integrity of the seller community was damaged. This is why you were not reinstated.

No one wants to see a seller shut down. One exception—when a user’s culpability warrants it.

A for audacity, though - that's quite the business model!  Honestly, I kind of admire it, but it won't do.

Where did you get all this unclaimed mail?

@candd205  I suspect GovDeals (for mail at least).

Even worse than that because all of the positives aren't even positive.
