I’m a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don’t recognize in relation to my account for the reason for restriction, then refused to help me any further and simply disconnect. What kind of shity service is that? When I was provided an automated option to “appeal”, it didn’t work when i clicked on it. It didn’t do anything. Same with other options. They don’t have any other way to appeal on their website from what I can see. So caught off guard and annoyed.

      I mean, I’m not justifying their shitty CS. If he’s been tagged for fraud, they should just say so.

      But also… they do (and always will,) have a problem with fraud and acting as a fence.

        They do? Every time I’ve bought a video game on ebay? Stolen from redbox. A cellphone? stolen. I can’t remember anything else I’ve bought on there but you better believe it was stolen.
