I have had an EBay account for many years that I enjoy using. However recently, I was informed that my account was restricted from selling anything indefinitely and that, even though I have never done anything wrong with my seller account or violated any policies, the fact that I used my phone number as a back up phone number on my ex-employers EBay account (as the administrative assistant, I needed to be able to speak and be contacted on behalf of my employer in case there were problems with his EBay account), and that because my employer violated the policies, somehow that meant that MY personal EBay account was going to be restricted as well.
This is absolutely unfair as I have no affiliation or personal use of my employers account, was not involved in its management or purchases/sales, and no longer even work for that employer. My EBay account was never associated with that employers account and I have no connection to them whatsoever currently. The fact that my phone number was only used as a back up number in case he lost his password or needed someone to answer his messages should not tie me to that account for the rest of my life. I have never misused my account or EBay privileges and I don’t deserve to have half of eBay’s services denied to me simply because of who I worked for.
