Account restricted? First steps

What to do — and what not to do — when eBay limits or suspends your account.

Do

  • Read eBay's message carefully and note the exact reason given.
  • Collect documents that may be requested: company registration, invoices from suppliers, proof of address.
  • Keep serving existing orders and buyers.

Don't

  • Don't open a new account to get around the restriction. It breaks eBay's rules and usually makes things worse.
  • Don't send repeated or emotional appeals.

We can assess your situation and help you prepare a clear appeal. Start an assessment.
