Trying to sell car - problem with eBay.

[scrubbie]

Hi,

Wondered if someone could help/advise please. Apologies in advance for such a boring post!

Am trying to sell a "boring daily" on eBay. I haven't used eBay for any reason for a good couple of years.

Anyway, I logged in to my eBay account, prepared the listing and went to list the item for sale and was met with a message that "Your (my) eBay account has been temporarily locked due to concerns that someone may have used it without your (my) permission."

Since I last used eBay I've moved house so had to change my eBay account address details when I just logged in. Furthermore, my previous bank payment card for eBay fees had expired so I updated that too.

Trying to contact eBay to get to the bottom of this is a nightmare!

Just wondered if anyone has experienced similar and how the issue was overcome.

Many thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

It's good eBay are checking for possible fraudulent activity but an indication from eBay as to how long that may take would have been useful.

I guess I just have to wait and see if/when they re-open my account then.

Many thanks again.

Thanks Bungz.

Your experience sounds a nightmare!

Hopefully, and assuming eBay are doing their fraud checks, my eBay account will be reactivated soon. I'm not holding my breath though!
