Why This Happens

eBay detected a link between your account and another account, typically through shared IP addresses, device fingerprints, payment methods, or physical addresses. eBay generally allows only one selling account per person and uses sophisticated matching to detect related accounts. If the linked account was previously suspended, yours may be as well.

Example Notification

"Your eBay account has been suspended because it is associated with another account that has been suspended."

Compliance Steps

Determine what triggered the link (shared IP, address, payment, device)

If you share a household with another seller, gather proof of separate identities

Provide government-issued IDs showing different identities

Prepare separate bank statements and business documents

Be completely honest about the relationship in your appeal
