eBay restricted my account permanently and won't help me with it - eviltoast

I’m a casual eBay user. On rare occasions, I will sell household items when I no longer use them. Well, I went to sell my Nintendo Switch on eBay and found out my account has been restricted indefinitely selling. When I tried chat with the customer service agent, they provided a name of some entity that I don’t recognize in relation to my account for the reason for restriction, then refused to help me any further and simply disconnect. What kind of shity service is that? When I was provided an automated option to “appeal”, it didn’t work when i clicked on it. It didn’t do anything. Same with other options. They don’t have any other way to appeal on their website from what I can see. So caught off guard and annoyed.

    I had an ebay account I used for years, and when I was travelling I bought a screwdriver set. A year later, my account was locked, I contacted support and they said it was because of that purchase.

    It baffles me why they’d lock an account for buying something, but let alone after 6 months. Have avoided them since.
