How to get eBay Seller Account Unbanned?
eBay's offical stance on this issue is that an eBay ban is an eBay ban for life, assuming it's not just a week or month long suspension. Is this really true? Can you really be banned from eBay for life for one mistake?Sadly yes. There's really only one reason for a ban which is fairly easy to overcome and that is not paying eBay seller fees. If you don't pay eBay seller fees for a substantial period of time eBay will eventually ban your account. In some instances eBay will agree to let you back on once your seller fees are paid. Outside of that it's difficult if not impossible to get an eBay account reinstated.
We should learn a couple lessons from this. First off guard your eBay account with your life. I'm shocked by how many people nonchalantly sell counterfeit Minecraft or Star Wars toys and then cry when they get suspended. That is probably one of the most aggregious violations of eBay policy there is selling counterfeit merchandise. Not only are you cheating buyers, your also stealing from larger brands.
Guard your eBay account with your life. It's always worth losing a couple bucks over your eBay account. I see so many eBay sellers stubbornly stick to their guns on issues which whether they are right or wrong are goign to be decided in favor of a buyer yet they stubbornly refuse to cave, wind up losing cases, get bad feedback, bad DSR scores and in some instances have their accounts suspended.
Losing a couple bucks on a transaction is much better than losing eBay income for life.
As far as getting unbanned there's really only one way this can happen and even then it's a far shot but at least it's considered. You'll need to find the e-mail address of the CEO of eBay as well as the executive offices. Email them, kiss their butt and tell them what a huge fan of eBay and the eBay community that you are. Tell them you made a mistake, and also have a remedy in place for how you will prevent that mistake from happening again in the future. It would also be wise to have a business plan of what you plan to sell and how you plan to run your business as this is also something they will typically ask for.
If you provide all this someone will at least look at your account and seriously look at the reason for your suspension and the possibility of being allowed back on. Don't even bother calling eBay customer support as they won't even consider it and don't have the power to do anything about it.
This is really the only way to get your eBay account unsuspended and even then it's a long shot.
