eBay not only blacklisted me but also my home address for presenting “a risk to our eBay community” when all I have ever done was buy a USB cable. Just one. Once.
Nice to see they have their priorities straight. /s
Nope, I was logging into my eBay account to check on when my cable would be delivered and got a big message saying my account’s been suspended. Emailed them and they said I needed to call them. Called them and they said my account’s been suspended and my home address has been blacklisted. I asked why, and they said they had nothing more to tell me.
Literally the only thing I have ever done on eBay is search for and buy one USB cable, one time.
FWIW, I had a similarish experience with my local Craigslist equivalent (Gumtree)… They had a security breach, which led to my barely-used account being hacked by someone that was posting (I assume) fake car listings.
I reported it to them, and their response was to blacklist me. No great loss - why would I want to use a platform that badly managed. I later worked with one of their mid-level managers from that period, and yeah-it was an absolute shitshow there.

This sounds like an interesting story? Any additional details?

It’s pretty silly to blacklist an address. You could just move and now the new owners can’t use eBay.
