    Everyone is treated equally. eBay have zero idea of any seller's abilities etc

     

    They also expect those who use the site to know at least the basics of how things work

     

    If the item did not sell you would not have been charged anything and would not have had an account frozen

     

    And since you don't let other members know what actually happened, we can only guess

     

    The item did 'sell' but the  buyer did not pay and you failed to report the non payment so were charged fees accordingly 

     

    The item did sell, the buyer did pay but because you had not signed up to Managed Payments, you did not get the money the buyer paid and the buyer rightfully opened a dispute against you that went unresolved

     

    You listed on eBay and elsewhere, it sold both places but you honoured the sale the other place it sold

     

    Or the account in question was hijacked and someone sold on it without your knowledge

     

     

    Was it any of those things that happened? 

     

     

    Have you contacted eBay at any point about this?

    Anything to do with an ebike mid 2025.  Did ebay believe a sale was completed off site, and request/demand payment accordingly.

    Can you please give some more details ?

     

    Are you verified and signed up for managed payments ?

    and understand about transaction holds

    Which category was the item listed ?

     

    Do you mean  the item sold but the buyer didn't pay ?

     

    in which case you have 30 days to cancel the order - buyer didn't pay  - to have your fees refunded

    Yes I saw that but wondered if the OP meant the buyer didn't pay , so not really sold.

    Because the OP says that eBay have taken over $200, presumably in fees
