Topic: Ebay suspended account for selling ant miner lol (Read 3870 times)
new account + BTC related item.... yup
I have sold 10 miners on ebay before no problem if your account has good history.
ught same story at 2017
they are asking invoice from bitmain and to many ridiculous questions. Like why wire transfer at statement not same amount and she dont get that wire goes bitmain less than we sent bitcoin the rest of amount.
bitmain never sent paper invoices but ebay do not understand.

If you sell high dollar items as a new account this is common. Once verified with ebay/paypal chances are the will let you sell it with no problem.
It's fairly common, ebay provides buyer and seller protection and new sellers showing up with items costing three figures result in additional verification to help ebay limit exposure to fraud..
It's not surprising nor odd and applies to many items that are >$100 USD for new accounts and is definitely not limited to Bitcoin...

This is standard ebay practice for new accounts trying to sell high(ish) value or multiple items.
I'm sure you'd appreciate them doing it if you were a buyer and got no item delivered, this is the way they can offer Buyer Protection in the way they do
Just send them a copy of your id and proof that you have the item to sell, sometimes they'll accept a photo with you and the item you are selling as proof of having it to sell, more often than not they do this when you are selling multiples of the same item.
You've got nothing to worry about as long as you haven't used false details without the paperwork needed to back it up.
Once you do as they ask you will be ok to sell almost anything although there will still be limits on some things
Hope this helps
PS: I fully appreciate that as a seller it's a pain in the arse but you'll only need to send them ID once, they won't ask for it again, it'll take a few days to sort out though

Suspect that if you send the requested documentation you'll be golden. Haven't heard of them suspending accounts just for selling mining hardware.
I have sold lots of Ants on Ebay , ebay is cool with selling ants, as long as there making a profit and your not a scammer, send them your documents and there wont be a problem
i doubt so too, that you have your account suspended because of ant miner, happened same for me, when i tried to sell on ebay, didn't bother to send them any documents and after few months they just had my account changed to seller and i could use it as normal
I doubt you were suspended for selling an ant miner. Ebay verifies everyone that sells with them. Most people do it via a bank account. If you don't link a bank account and\or answer their profile questions, they ask for photo id (here in the USA anyways, this isn't all that different than what a pawn shop is supposed to do).
It isn't bitcoin mining equipment per say that they consider high risk but computer equipment in general. You would get the same shit if you were trying to sell a laptop. With that said their customer service is pretty terrible, and completely random. I sold a lot of stuff with them but they refused to let me sell one particular computer part (I don't remember what it was, maybe a RES?) even after I provided them a receipt. I guess they thought it odd that someone would have several of them.
