Why This Happens

You received an MC011 restriction notice from eBay. This is a trust-and-safety hold — eBay wants to verify your identity, product sourcing, or ability to fulfill orders before letting you continue selling. It is usually triggered by a sudden sales spike, missing tracking uploads, or unverified account details. Payouts are typically held until the restriction is lifted, but MC011 has one of the highest recovery rates of any eBay enforcement action when the right documents are submitted.
