Permanent Selling Suspension Insight Requested

[manuevarga_13]

Id really like some insight from experienced sellers what happened to my account.  I recently listed used GPUs I bought on EBAY 12-18 months ago and shipped super fast with tracking and have 100% positive feedback.  I had one shady buyer who refused to pay for two items (GPUS) and looking at his history he has done that multiple times to other sellers.  I received an email to verify my account and sent in My DL , Utility Bill and EBAY PROOF OF PURCHASE and then received an email to resend information and then a minute later that my account was permanently suspended and they are holding thousands of dollars of my funds.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss for words and would also like to re list the item  the buyer reneged on.

You will find it at your seller hub:

Well I just checked that and I have a $25,000 limit and 1000 items limit so I don’t think that was it.

Not sure what is going on with this.  There was a poster with an almost identical issue to yours that posted just the other day.  Same scenario.  Apparently making too much money on GPUs puts eBay over the edge?

Is there a reason why all these sellers have so many of these GPUs? I don't know. Maybe it is a gaming thing. What trips them all up is they try to sell them all at once. In almost every case, it leads to selling restrictions. That is because eBay is suspicious about how they were acquired. eBay's thinking is people have one or two GPUs. Not two or three dozens.

Bitcoin? Getting out of bitcoin mining ? Realizing that bitcoin is Mary Kaye for techbros?

I am just guessing here what is behind these reported suspensions. If i understand correctly, the recent INFORM Consumers Act is legislation from Congress that requires online marketplaces to vet their vendors as carefully as B&M do. This bill requires online marketplaces to collect, verify, and disclose certain information from high-volume, third-party sellers.

Just going by what other sellers have reported here lately. It seems the combination of 1) new sellers with 2) multiples of pricey gadgets being sold, and 3) at prices sometimes well below retail, is getting sellers restricted.

eBay has acknowledged they have risk models that will detect things that look suspicious.

It seems apparent that eBay has started cracking down to limit possible fenced goods from being sold on their platform, spurred by the INFORM Act.

Not inferring that you engaged in any nefarious endeavor. Wondering if these suspensions is eBay just trying to COA and you were caught in this possible INFORM dragnet.

Sorry this happened to you.

I thought maybe a crypto farm or something...

What stands out to me is you have a heap of identical listings - you just change them by saying 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3 etc, this is circumventing the ''duplicate listings policy'' maybe eBay got annoyed at the blatant disregard of the rules?

This was actually the way Ebay seller help told me to list the items when I requested help on how to list multiple items in auction format.
