A sports-card seller who had been active on eBay for only a few weeks says the account was permanently banned without any prior warning. The notifications about the ban were unclear, and no specific rule was named. The seller believes the ban is a mistake and has asked eBay to reinstate the account and explain the real reason.
Separately, a UK seller reports that eBay permanently restricted the account after two months of repeated document requests. The seller was told that any further appeal will be declined and that 5,000 pounds will be held for 170 days.
Both cases show a pattern: eBay is closing accounts and freezing money with little explanation. Sellers should keep their documents ready, save proof of where their stock comes from, and watch their inbox closely for any policy notice from eBay.
