I totally get it that you are incensed with ebay. It's pretty tough to be an ethical seller, plodding away over many years, to suddenly find you have been classified as a risk and banned from selling.

I can understand the frustration too in not knowing why you are considered a risk. 

You're not the first person I have seen come on the boards though to complain that this has happened to them. The problem as I see it is that I haven't heard of a single one who was able to get ebay to overturn the decision. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that I haven't read of it, so I suspect you are up against it.

I don't think an ebay defined risk is anything like a criminal risk. I guess at times they could be one and the same eg if ebay found a fraudulent seller. But there are several reasons from what I understand, that a seller can be considered below par without ever touching on being criminal.

The reason I am answering this post is because I saw you write that you were prepared to spend your last retirement dollar if you had to, to get this rectified. Totally not worth it. Very stressful for you and just not worth the money loss. Please rethink it.

Ebay isn't what it was 20 years ago anyway and there are now other selling platforms out there.

If you seriously want to keep listing on ebay, find someone close-maybe an adult child or close friend-who does not have an ebay account. A lot of people don't, nowadays. If they are willing, get them to open one and you use that account and address to list. (on their computer, not your own as ebay could track)
