It’s a crappy truth, but you’re right in some respects. I did convince myself of this when it happened, and just acknowledged that eBay was a service I’ll probably never have access to.

Someone else I know and trust offered to sell it for me after I told them I was banned. They have legitimate sales and positive seller reputation that they’ve made, but I was absolutely not willing to risk their seller account getting banned too.

Shoot, they’ll probably get banned at some point too, because we have used the same IP at least once.

eBay failing to provide a functional chat and verification service to correct wrongful bans is the problem here. A company needs to provide a process for resolving its mistakes. People will stop using their service.
