This has already been done. Company states it is no problem to sell. Ebay has nothing to say directly on the subject as to why accounts are deleted. I'm speculating that I'm not being given the truth by company, and that Ebay is concerned about saying anything so it is easier to leave me in the dark.
So you spoke with Ebay on the telephone and they refused to answer your question? I find this a bit difficult to believe...OK, more than a bit.

Whether you find it hard to believe or not is irrelevant. Reality remains, Ebay never gave any explanation and I've now accepted that I won't get one. It no longer matters now, as I have found another way to do business.
Sorry to hear about this. It may be what you suspect or you may be doing something that keeps linking your accounts. Same Password, listing the same rare items for sale with the same heading, etc.
I have no suggestions for EBAY, i've been using them as a referral service to Mercari & Poshmark for a while now. Meaning if you try to buy something from me at EBAY, it won't go thru then I send them to Mercari. I'd love to sell on Ebay but they are requiring a SS number up front. No way, I am aware every Representantive there sees it on the screen. Not worth risking ID theft. Mercari & Poshmark never requested it but will when I hit close to a certain amount of sales, I've forgotten now.
I suggest trying Mercari for SMALLER items. Under $30. Same as Poshmark except maybe larger items there. You can ship for $7.45 up to 5lbs at Poshmark.

The social is required so they can 1099 you. Coming soon to all online sales accounts. Can’t out run the tax man.

the law is 20k a year and a certain amount of sales. This is something EBAY is circumventing asking for this personal information FOR THEMSELVES. This has been law for a while, nothings changed.
When you hit a certain amount of sales and a certain amount of money, shortly before you will receive a notice to provide it on any venue. To need it early is being nafarious and no one should be providing any kind of information to a bunch of strangers risking ID theft so willy nilly. I realize some folks are so poor they don't feel or there isn't truly any choice living hand to mouth
Every time you contact EBAY, your SS number is right on the screen. Thousands of employees. My son was Senior Tech Support for Apple, he was not provided this information.

The law for a 1099 is $600 of income.
My assumption with identity theft is that all the important facts about me are already known to many of the bad guys. There have been too many data hacks to not think otherwise. I then build my ID defense from that standpoint.
Knowing that eBay has my social doesn’t change anything and keeps money flowing into my pocket.
And who “contacts” eBay on the phone? I’ve been selling since 2001 and never needed to call them.

You are confused again.. Please pay attention this time.
I am top rated on EBAY, have been selling on the venue since checks were sent in the mail.
Anytime you start approaching this thresh-hold, you will be asked to provide your SS number so the payment processor is adhere to this law. To boot, as stated, EBAY places your SS on the center of the screen for any low level tech support employee to have access to.The rabbit trail of whether you call in or whatever doesn't change that
I am sticking with selling with venues who adhere to the law, and it is $200K/200 sales. I do well on mercari, bonanza, etsy, amazon, etc. You may. need to re-read this note and again, read the link provided a second time so you are not further confused

Hopefully this clears this up for you. Happy selling
LOL, look who’s not paying attention. I said $600 is the law for a 1099. Reread my post and see who is “confused” and not “paying attention”
