every time someone has to explicitly say this it's a lie

what kind of shitty service is that

it’s eBay

I tried to sell my car on eBay back in 2008 - the first thing I ever attempted to sell on their site. I've bought a few random things from eBay over the years, including my car 3 years prior.

My account was immediately flagged for potential fraud and locked down. The only way they'd clear it was if I photocopied my driver's license and mailed it to them; they wouldn't accept a digital copy.

I just created a new account and have been using that ever since. I ended up selling my car outside of eBay; I'm never attempting to sell a vehicle through their site again.

I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second..

Hate this kind of thing. Would be cool if there was a more decentralized alternative for ecommerce that people actually use.

If you use eBay and PayPal you're asking for this. They shit all over users and don't care. I've vowed to never use either of them again.

This is really strange. For some reason they think you are the same person or entity as this techdiscount whatever account. Normally that would be because you have the same mailing address, or link the same bank account or something. Maybe your name and date of birth are similar to this other banned person?

Really stupid.

Can you call on the phone?

Geez, I thought Revolut support was bad when they abruptly closed my account.

This is the start of the ai revolution.

Something similar happened to me though I have never sold anything but bought like 3 items over 5 years and my selling got limited for some unknown reason. I figured it's no great loss and deleted my account and made a new one.

I had an ebay account I used for years, and when I was travelling I bought a screwdriver set. A year later, my account was locked, I contacted support and they said it was because of that purchase.

It baffles me why they'd lock an account for buying something, but let alone after 6 months. Have avoided them since.
