I've also been permabanned from eBay. Buyer for 10+ years, occasional seller. Went to sell something alongside lots of listings for the same thing. Permabanned my account and my parent's accounts as I had logged in from their house previously. No recourse. "Banned without appeal" they called it. "Because of the nature of the ban we cannot tell you anything about it". Many frustrating calls.

Years later, my only thesis is it was due to having HTML in my product description, I linked to the vendor website. Maybe that's against the rules or something.

>To protect our members, listings or products can't contain links that direct customers to a site other than eBay, even if the link is not clickable.

I think they mean "to protect eBay's profits."

Maybe you should read the rules for the service you are using?
