Why This Happens

eBay locked or restricted your account for security reasons — unusual sign-in locations, sudden changes to bank or contact details, listings you didn't create, or patterns matching account takeover. This protection hold is highly recoverable for the legitimate owner: verify identity, secure the account, and reverse any unauthorized changes. Speed matters because attackers may still have access.
