anyone else had the following email from ebay - and how do you sort it out?! Does anyone have a phone number for them? I have done NOTHING wrong - I've never bought/sold anything dodgy. I have a 100 per cent feedback rating. I've told them all this - but they insist on quoting me the details below. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Your account suspension is due to several discrepancies in your registration information as outlined in Section 8 of the eBay User Agreement. The section is entitled "Breach" and contains the following text:

Turns out he'd miskeyed his mobile number while registering his details, so they suspended him.
Isn't that your answer? Some of your registration info is incorrect. You can't get access to your account to change it now, so you will need to do as they ask and send the documents to them, and they should re-instate you. If you are still unsure as to exactly why you have been suspended, give them an e-mail explaining your situation and they should help you.
Good luck with getting your account back.

There is nothing worse than dodgy info when you are trying to sort problems out...
I have bought and sold on ebay for 20 months and have never provided them with this information.
I have had similar emails asking me to update information or my account will be suspended but they are from scammers SO BEWARE, I WOULDN'T GIVE THEM ANY OF THIS ID THAT THEY REQUIRE.
If you want to update your account information go to MY EBAY and update in my account but don't fax any ID.
Hope this helps
Forward the email to [email protected]
They will reply to you very quickly if it is a spoof email.
go to ebay ...NOT THROUGH ANY LINKS IN THIS E-MAIL but through your favourits or via a direct web search and CHANGE YOUR EBAY PASSWORD.
If you have responded to this e-mail by following any links inside it and given any credit card / debit card info. PHONE THE CARD PROVIDER NOW. Ask them to cancel it because it's security has been compromised by internet related activity. They will send you out a whole new secure card with 10 days.
If you want or need any more help e-mail me at [email="atotori_iki@yahoo.co.uk"][email protected][/email]
I have 2+ years of ebay experience and receive spoof mails all the time. I' will be glad to help you make sure noone can steal your ebay id from you or use any card info you may have acidentaly revealed.
kind regards
atotori
i always forward these type of emails to [email protected]
and the same for paypal ones.
if it is valid, then ebay will contact you again
However, it is also possible that a scammer has got hold of a genuine email and copied it for less than honest reasons, so as has already been suggested the way to check is to log into your ebay account using your own secure screen (don't follow any links) and if you can't get in then the mail is genuine.
When you register an account ebay accept your details as you provide them, this is why we are not routinely asked for proof via driving license or utility bill. However, once someone reports your details as invalid ebay will check themselves and if your address, telephone number or email doesn't come back as 'live' then you will be suspended until such time as you provide proof of your details (hence the faxed info).
All you can do once you are happy that the mail is genuine is to provide the info that ebay requested. Once they have double checked your details you will be reinstated. Meanwhile your account will be showing as 'NARU' .
One word of warning, while suspended you must not use ebay using another account or try to open a new account as using ebay while suspended means automatic and permanent suspension.
Hope you get it sorted quickly
