Be careful. I got this message about a year ago and spent the whole day trying to rectify it. I finally got back into my account and found that there had been 100's of mobile phones listed under my account and some of them had bids of over £100!! I had to cancel the bids and change my password but as soon as I was cancelling them they were changing the password again and adding more and more phones. It took ebay 48 hours to sort it out for which time I had to spend the whole time logged into ebay. As soon as I logged out my password changed and there were more phones listed. Thank god I had broadband.

i had a prob about a year ago , and i contacted ebay and what we had to do was send a copy of utilty bill , copy of driving license , just so ebay could verify we were genuine people and then we got our account back straight away. i did email ebay first to double check everything. and we not had any prob's since then

I got an email from whoever was doing it offering me £300 and a free mobile phone to let them use my account. I forwarded it to ebay who didnt do anything about it (of course). It was from a mobile phone shop which after a bit of research I managed to trace to Walthamstow high street. It was fitting as my boyfriend lives in Stratford and about a month before the incident happened I used an internet cafe in Walthamstow when I was there on a visit. I think someone from the internet cafe must have got my details from the comp I went on even though I logged out of my ebay account and typed a false name and password in afterwards. I'm never going to trust an internet cafe again.

It sounds like either a competitor has reported you for selling fakes/trying to scam buyers or some of your buyers have had concerns and reported them to eBay. Looks like you've been suspended permanently as there is no mention of any temporary suspension or return date.

There should be a link where you can e-mail eBay and ask them why you've been suspended, usually if you've been suspended you receive 2 e-mails; one stating the reason why which can be found in your 'eBay messages' folder and another official one from eBay stating whether you've been suspended temporarily or permanently.

the messgaes and e-mails from ebay were so generic they could have been about anything. I made the auctions clear and non confusing, emphaising the fact they were UK PSPs and i was in the UK.

Are you any closer to resolving anything?

moko7t8

no, suprise suprise ebay don't want to know. anyone on live chat just sends me a standard e-mail address and saya i will hear back in 48 hours.
I mean if all my auctions ended immediately and sold to the highest bidder I would have got over £1000, but ebay killed my auctions, and probably any reputation i had
