You have a sparse selling history and have sold multiple pricey items recently. eBay wants to make sure you do possess these items and that your account hasn’t been hijacked.

 

Follow the process explained in the message to regain your selling privileges and unfreeze your funds (which will most likely still be held for up to 30 days as you are a returning seller selling high value items).

What are they asking you? Did they ask you to provide receipts for your items? Some of your feedback isn't helping your issue..can you come back and give us some more info? Thanks.

eBay stated exactly what you need to do to fix the problem.  Note that this may only be round one. More demands from eBay may follow. They stated that as well.

 

If eBay notices the false positive feedback you left that buyer, that could be a seller defect against your account. Several defects and you could be suspended for a much longer duration.

Has a buyer opened a case?

You have to resolve it. You need to provide a return label or a refund if they claim not as described. 

If they claimed they didn't receive it you have to reply with the tracking number showing delivered. Signature delivery on those two items that sold for over $750.

I fear uploading tracking won't be the end of it. Before it's all over they'll probably want to see receipts for the items you've sold.

Did the shipping really cost $150 on that computer case?  Looks like you had a return too.  Did you respond to the case?   It also appears you are waiting until funds go into your bank before shipping the items.  Ebay would probably flag that alone because to them it looks like a potential scam that people used to run. They'd sell something,  sometimes the same item over and over and just walk away with the cash.  The more I think about it,  your handling time, combined with lack of history over the past 12 months is getting you red flagged. Ebay fronts you the shipping cost. You only appear to have 7 transactions over the past 12 months,  one of which you were accused of bait & switch.  Are you entirely sure there were no reasons?

So sorry to read that ebay has restricted your account. 

 

You will need to follow ebay's requests for possible reinstatement. Go to all of your transactions & make sure there is a tracking number uploaded to the transaction & make sure the tracking shows a scanned delivery in the ebay system. Simlutaneously, you need to close out any open returns & disputes. Once you complete the 1st two steps, then ebay will request additional information about the items you sell on the platform. Be prepared to provide invoices showing that you had the items in your possession. They might ask for other information. However, you first need to complete steps 1 & 2. Once those steps are completed, reply back to the ebay message telling them that all items have been delivered & all items show proof of delivery in the transaction details, & that you don't have any open disputes or returns.  If they are satisfied that you have completed those steps, then they will ask for additional information.

 

Good luck & we hope things are resolved in a timely manner for you.

Why do you say "for no reason"? The message you got tells you the reason. 

 

Why are you asking how you can fix it? The message you got tells you how to fix it.

Before you click on ANY of those links, Contact Ebay and see if they can give you more information.   Does this message appear in your My Messages on Ebay?  If it doesn't, be very careful.  If it is there, then clicking on the links is fine and just follow their instructions.

 

I would suggest going to Ebay for business on Twitter or Facebook for the best help as the CSRs there are better trained.

 

Here are your options for contacting Ebay Customer Service.

If when you use the link below you can only get to the Automated Assistant, type AGENT in the box and hit enter. You will then get more options.
