It really happened. Yesterday I used $200 gift card bought from ebay uk on my new account on ebay au with 15% off.
And today all my eBay account, including my main account got suspended. It turns out I had made 17 accounts and my wife accounts is suspended too.
I am not sure if i will get my items or if I will get my main account reopened as it still has giftcard credits.
Damn it sucks to be me. I just talked to customer service and they are not reopening my account.
Any advice? I would at least want one account to be used for eBay purchases. May be i have to move to another place and change my legal name :(
Not sure what their rules are, but I followed the advice of fellow OZB commenters, so if I get banned, I'm blaming you guys.
I have two UK accounts that I used to buy discounted GCs, and a US account that I used once when ebay US ran a 15% off sitewide deal.
I have used $1100 in GCs on my main AU account, but also have a secondary AU account that I made one purchase on during a promo code that was one time use only.
Have not been suspended yet, but kind of worried because it does go against the spirit of ebay's law, if not the letter of the law.
But I got my advice from you guys (I asked if it was ok first), so before you judge me, take a good look in the mirror.
