<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 6570370, member: 25270"]I sell some coins on eBay and I have a few accounts. Recently I decided to pare down my French and Canadian collections, so I ended up with a lot of coins from those two countries to sell. I decided to start a new account to sell those since it was so much and they're not hugely popular. So I created an account and maxed out the free listings, with 200 coins for sale. This was maybe 5-6 days ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I got an email saying my account had been permanently suspended "because we noticed activity that we believe is a risk to our community." My first reaction was to think it was a phishing email, so I tried to sign into that account, and sure enough, it's suspended. I'm totally at a loss about what could have brought this on. I checked and there's no prohibition against having multiple accounts, and the coins I was listing were not from banned countries and no one would call them counterfeit. The only thing I can maybe guess is that I had some of the coins listed on another account previously, and I ended those listings to move them to this account, so could they have some AI that thinks I'm stealing someone else's photos?

I don't care so much about this account but it seems like I can never create another new account after this, and I don't want whatever went wrong here to happen again. Here's the email they sent: Your eBay account has been permanently suspended because we noticed activity that we believe is a risk to our community. This means the following: - You can’t buy or sell on eBay any longer. Any other accounts that you own or that are associated with this account have also been suspended. - Outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven’t previously disputed will be charged to the payment method we have on file. The safety of our community is a top priority for us, so our decision to permanently suspend your account is final and can’t be appealed.
