I've been banned for...
1) Selling too much on a free listing day (about 100 items even though there was no mention of any limits) they claimed they had to ban me because of some EU regulation (which they could never quote).
2) Leaving too much negative feedback (about 5 over a year and all deserved by the sellers!)
...and this is why eBay is losing it's honest customers (8 years of eBaying)
Topic: Suspended from ebay (Read 1638 times)
think about it.. you're selling internet money, which is ebay's (paypal) business model. they don't like that you're participating in an industry that does not have much history or precedence and may or may not kill their own profits.
They also both report to the IRS.

Ya they are known for suspending for crypto
Don't sell mining hardware either, if yo get caught, you'll regret it. Plus, you lose 10% + starting fees, why not just sell some here?
I know, my account have been freeze because I was selling mining hardware.

Bitcoin listings on eBay need to be carefully worded and no website links. Good luck with that...
This seems kind of strange - I just searched ebay for bitcoin and there are several different ads selling bitcoins. Some of the ads are new but some of them have previous sales.
no. there is a trick on all this. you must put 000.02 btc, not 1 2 3 4 btc. it\s a strategy to avoid ebay suspension

not to make light of your situation... but damn that guy must have a lot of feet... 
it's China, i've heard stranger stories thanks to paypal some guy in china is now wearing 7 pair of vintage MIB deadstock '70 adidas shoes for free after he told paypal he never got them shoes.. so paypal charged back..
back then it said click here to solve the issue "dead link" no phone number to contact and they blocked my account. all linked to ebay, where still customers were waiting for items, i could not check if they paid or not so they all gave me negative feedback.. my feedback was 100% and sold about 700 items, thank you paypal and ebay for ruining my business i sure hope BTC will put a mark on yours.

Yeah, paypal thinks cryptocurrency is a threat to it's way of business, so it tries to discourage/discredit them.
Of course, they have reason to be think this...

They can embrace it and make money; or shun it and lose out. It's obvious peeps want to buy coins with PP, so why not let them? Cryptos are gonna destroy paypal anyway.
Yes I know it was risky but I was selling in small amounts. I Hoped by only selling to people with good feedback scores I would get a lot more honest people. And with the profit you can make over there as opposed to btc-e the odd claimback wouldn't make a huge difference.
Paypal hates de-centralized currencies. Do you think they would allow you to sell them publicly on ebay?

Yeah, doesn't matter - ebay sucks - don't use it.

Sorry to hear that I was thinking of doing that as well
Ha, so true. & I agree, It's really not worth the hassle. I'm not planning on disputing with them.

Why are they still letting sellers list them continually if it's against their T&Cs? Ebay and paypal are such a bunch of plebs. If they had any fucking clue they would set up their own marketplace/escrow system for selling cryptos.
I'm still not convinced any of the auctions for huge prices are being bought by legitimate buyers. I'm not surprised when I see a sale for 10-25% premium, but when its 100%+ higher than any market I just don't see how it can be legitimate regardless of the sellers feedback.
Throw in having to deal with paypal not wanting you doing it anyway and It can't be worth the hassle
