Question
I don't know why, but I was suspended from ebay today. I had just listed a whole bunch of stuff last night too. They got every one of my ebay accounts, most of them didn't even have a negative feedback on them. They didn't send me an email explaining why. When I logged in a bit ago to check on my auctions, I had a red message all across the screen saying that I'd been suspended and it just said for acting in a manner not according to ebay or something like that. No saying what I supposedly did. I hadn't even had a warning about anything since they canceled my ebay listings several months ago because my Harry Potter cards weren't listed in mature audiences category and closed my store. I never got an explanation about that either, because there's nothing adult related about Harry Potter playing cards. They're for children. I didn't even owe them any money. On two of the accounts they owed me money! And the suspension isn't even temporary. The screen said I was suspended indefinately.
Answer
Man that sucks. It's always shoot first ask questions later with them. Hope you can get this resolved ASAP.
Answer
How horrible. Everytime I read about someone being supsended I get nervous. If it can happen to whoever for no apparent reason then it could happen to me or any of us. It seems ebay should have to get ahold of you and give you a reason and explaine their reasoning and listen to your side before they do something so drastic.
I hope you get ahold of them and they can tell you something.
Sorry this happened to you.
Answer
OMG! That's terrible! I hope you can get this cleared up ASAP.
Everytime I read about someone getting suspended I get angry. I also get nervous too, because it can happen to any one of us, at anytime & for the stupidest reasons. Reasons that don't make sense.
Ebay is extremely frustrating at times!
Answer
Deep breath. Slowly. Innnnnnn, outtttttt. Pause. Repeat.
The worm in Distrust and Snakely who did this to you will have sent you email but you may not have it yet. eBay is big on "You are not allowed to use any part of our site" but that is a lie; you should go read Your Messages for each of your accounts. If your D&S smarm-o-gram isn't there yet, it will be soon.
The first thing you do once you get the email is of course appeal by contacting eBay Support. You have to do this right away because it will take them DAYS to get back to you. A note of bitter humor here: After I made a scene in front of eBay HQ last year during my first suspension, I was reinstated by the time eBay Support responded. And their response was that my suspension was valid and would stay in place. Morons.
"Indefinitely" ain't. Hang in there and don't get discouraged.

I still haven't received an email for any of the accounts. I logged into my messages on the accounts and there's nothing. I sent an email to ebay on the contact form for each of the accounts wanting an explanation and now I am waiting.
Answer
Good Luck.
I hope it gets resolved, and quickly.
There is no point in me adding expletives or opinions beyond that, because at this stage it appears that no one has enough information to know why this has happened.
It is only a livelihood, after all.

Answer
Well, I still haven't received an explanation.
Does anyone know what this means as far as my paypal account is concerned?
Answer
I don't know about whether they have tied PayPal closely or not policy wise. If it were my PayPal account, I'd move nearly all funds into checking while I waited for them to sort out the problem. I'd not want them keeping my money, or putting an extended and total hold on my access to it like we've read about more than once with other issues.
Answer
More than one id.
Did any of these interact with the others?
Have you ever loged on, and or let some other user log on using your computer that may have interacted with one of your IDs?
Also try moreinfo(at)ebay.com Replace the at with the aproprate symbol.
Have not tryed to use this email in a long time, so I do not know if it is still good or not.
You also need to contest the previous complaints.
