Reginal Sellers group, ebay community feedback

Hello everyone

Has any seller’s account been restricted by ebay recently, due to volume products listing ?  Ebay restricted and frozen Selling account and withhold sending all sold funds to my bank account.  They claimed to protecting the ebay market place.  This sound like **bleep** and irrelevant.  Why refusing to pay me then, saying until they received my distributor contact info?  Ebay told me to send my purchase receipts from my suppliers to them.  I feel targeted again, I have been selling for a long time online.  I have seen this play out on my prime account on Amazon a few years ago and it was bad. Here is a quick summary.

         I was doing very well on Amazon with 3 unique specific discounted products 10 years ago, one of whom were my sister invention, that I was selling for her on commission;  Amazon requested the same thing that ebay is now asking.  Prove of purchase receipt from my distributor.  Amazon received it,  they unlocked my account. A flew weeks later, Amazon solicitated my distributors and open an exclusive account with them. They later restricted me again from selling all 3 products.   My sister refused Amazon solicitation.   Amazon started selling the products that were once unique to me only from Africa and Japan in large volume, “reason why they restricted me, in the first place”.   I was very hardworking, honest and loyal seller to both buyers and to Amazon, also I am the same here on ebay.  Over 5K in seller’s positives rating, never received any  negative feedback and over over 45K repeat buyers.  I was not valued, When my sister told me how intense the solicitation and coesion was and using scares tactics on her; I closed my account with them and left for good,  8 years later, they lost their contracts with my former distributor.  They later asked me to reopen my prime account, but I refused and I will never go back for any reason.

so, when ebay asked the same question 3 weeks before Christmas, it brought back my bad memory with Amazon.

Is anyone having similar issues?   please help with you advice, I appreciate you all.

thank you for your time.

Nope no restrictions here..haven’t had any that I can recall. 
It looks like eBay wants to protect the buyers by making sure you own the items you are selling. 

Just upload the receipts they require. That’s my advice to you.

If you want to keep selling on eBay,  provide what they asked for. Nothing more, nothing less. See if they accept what you provide.

At least eBay does not sell anything themselves

They probably want to make sure you are not violating ebay's drop shipping policies:

As in you must own/control the stock you are selling and not just purchasing from another retailer after a sale is made. Most of these restriction/reviews usually seem to be related to enforcing that policy.

You're selling supplements and diet aids and other products that people ingest. eBay probably wants to ensure that these are coming to you straight from the manufacturer as a safety issue.

You're right about amazon. They're notorious for buying products that are do well for sellers and selling those products themselves. And since amazon can purchase in larger quantities than most sellers to get a lower price (and don't have the warehouses limitations they give most sellers), it's almost impossible to compete with amazon. At least we don't have to worry about eBay competing with us.
