Suspended for ending a listing?

deadlyblade21 — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 04:58:25 GMT

I listed a product but then I immediately decided to cancel it to learn more about the product and get a better idea of how much to sell it for (cancelled within 2 minutes of listing). I was then immediately notified that my account had been suspended :S

Does ending a listing violate eBay's policies?

No ending a listing is not a violation or the option to do so would not be there.

Call ebay on their free call number and ask for it to be lifted as you did nothing wrong.

Could be another one of their restrictions on new sellers to go with the 21 days holding of payments?

Or a totally different reason the OP is not aware of yet.

May have been purely coincidental it happened around the same time.

It won't let me contact them for an enquiry regard account suspension/restriction.

That is ebay telling you they do not want to deal with you now, or ever..

But honestly, I've really done nothing wrong.

"You need to provide documentation proving your identity" is the reason why I was banned. Uhhh okay...

Just be sure it really is an ebay email. Did it come through the ebay messages, or to your own email?

All good, ban was lifted. All they wanted was proof of identity. I asked other ebay sellers if the same thing has happened to them and they said no. I wonder why they wanted proof. Meh, oh well.

Most of us have had to provide proof of identity to paypal at some stage. Maybe that has been extended to ebay now.
