I just had the same thing happen last week.

I’m moving away and selling some of our stuff that we can’t take with us. I have a spare 5G/LTE router that I thought I’d throw up on eBay as well as Facebook Marketplace.

I followed their onboarding process to the letter to create a listing, verify my email and mobile phone, add a bank account, etc.

About an hour later I got an email saying I’ve been “permanently suspended because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk”.

Apparently doing nothing but following their onboarding process is putting the community at risk. They also tell you that “this decision (that was made 100% by an automated system) was not made lightly”.

Get fucked, eBay.

Did they also ban every member of your family as well? That _really_ wierded me out. I'm not sure a public utility (what eBay, Amazon, et al basically are now thanks to the death of brick and mortar) should be allowed such a totalitarian response.

Somehow this hasn't stopped the people selling empty PS5 boxes and knockoff handbags at all.
