my sister sells regularly (not business seller) - just has 4 young children so always clearing out clothes and toys so I think she has months where she sells a lot and then a few months where not selling. Anyway - I think in August/September she sold a lot of outgrown winter clothing she sold but then 2 of her children were unwell one after the other and she was delayed in posting. She said she emailed all buyers to explain and issued partial refunds to some. She posted them the first day she could (is a single parent so struggled to get help - doesnt live same part of country as me - otherwise i would have helped her out).
She was due to have a pre-christmas clearout to get some extra cash for christmas but has received an email from ebay to say she is below their standards and so selling has been restricted indefinitely. She said the email has a very final tone - although they are happy to let her buy on ebay
She has spoken to ebay and they just said that there is no chance of change as her scores are below standard. Does anybody have any experience of this? I really feel for her as her husband left at the beginning of the year and she has managed so well and this has really upset her. She works part-time and budgets and I know that having regular ebay sales really helps her along. Any advice would be appreciated. She said she looked on an ebay forum but all people seemed to be business sellers or selling fakes - doesnt apply to her - i said much friendlier on here so would ask for her? thanks
