Yes, eBay is atrocious. I was banned based on my IP, along with all my family's accounts a few days later.

It's an automated system. Customer support will say the equivalent of "it's a secret" why you were banned. Yeah right it's some dumb batch job.

Save yourself feeling abused. Don't bother trying to fix it. Waited 6 months and created a new account.

Another time I sold an item and shipped it. The froze my account. Same "it's a secret" bs. What did work for me was contacting the Better Business Bureau. That got me answers, months later. It was because I shipped the item before the Paypal payment had cleared.

eBay is a shitty company. To the extent this is the future of software, we a f-ed as we get older. These systems are going to chew us up and spit us out.
