I’m a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don’t recognize in relation to my account for the reason for restriction, then refused to help me any further and simply disconnect. What kind of shity service is that? When I was provided an automated option to “appeal”, it didn’t work when i clicked on it. It didn’t do anything. Same with other options. They don’t have any other way to appeal on their website from what I can see. So caught off guard and annoyed.

    I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

    So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second…

      Had similar happen to me except I didn’t get to appeal it for quite a while and they told me they couldn’t tell me why it was banned and they wouldn’t be lifting it, I had no purchases mind you. Just made another account
