You can see in this circumstance in particular why the staff at eBay aren't allowed to discuss it with you as it just provides a checklist to any potential fraudster.0 -

So this is where we are now, 12 days after the completely out-of-the-blue receipt of our MC113 permanent suspension (with no chance of appeal):
We are now 100% certain we did nothing wrong whatsoever - not even slightly wrong.
The trigger MIGHT have been caused by our house guests, but they are as baffled as we are.
In all honesty this remains a total mystery to us. Hopefully the SAR result will show something, though how much eBay will be willing to reveal is yet to be seen...
I would be very interested to hear if anyone else has had a similar experiece.0 -

(And there are also exemptions under data protection legislation where crime detection/prevention are concerned).

EBay say "We're not comfortable with your selling practices or business model". This is so strange as we don't have a 'business model'; and we have hardly ever sold anything. All we do is buy the odd inexpensive item, usually second-hand, and have always abided meticulously by the rules of good practice. It really feels like they have confused us with someone else.0

Were there perhaps some fees for selling something that had gone unpaid for some time?This article is aimed at the US marketplace but a lot of the possible suspension reason will be the same for UK - https://www.3dsellers.com/blog/why-ebay-suspended-your-account-and-how-to-fix-it1
