HI
I am a freelancer. I got a project to do the listings of cellphones and pda's in ebay. My buyer guided me how to open an ebay account and gave screenshots that help me to sell the the things for him.
I had followed the screenshots and listed 4 items ie, 2 iphones and 2 pdas i think each worth 200 $, (starting price 40 $, bid for 3 days,) for him. When i listed all the items i got messages from ebay to my e-mail ie, the confirmation mails of the listings. I became happy , because i will get some commission if they go for high bids.
But al of a sudden, after 10 min i got a message from ebay stating that my account has been suspended. I was frozen and was unable to move for 2 min. I didn't no what i had done to ebay that resulted in suspending my account.
Anyway i had given all my details, the bak statement, ids and all, faxed to the ebay india office. Now i am waiting for their replies. When i reported this to my buyer,i doesn't have a reply for 2 days from him.
1.Do anyone say what the wrong i had done in ebay?
2.Whether i get my account back in ebay back in previous condition. I am really in a frozen condition. Please help me.

You'll have to contact eBay and ask but at a guess, based on the items you listed and your location, eBay will shoot first, ask questions later.

You should have built up a trading history of not so hot items then moved on to these once you you had bulit enough trust with eBay.

Also it sounds as though you are listing on someone elses behalf operating on a commission basis. This really isn't a good idea unless you can rely on them 100% - it's your ebay account at stake after all. In fact these days it wouldn't surprise me if that even breaks eBay policy.

Wholesalers wont want you listing things for them. It's a case of you buying the products and you selling them on for a profit.

You should start off small and build your reputation (feedback) by buying 10-20 cheap items over 1-4 week period. Then, sell off 10-20 items as auctions (anything really, things from your house etc.)

When you're done, start selling whatever you want BUT just one thing at a time for 2-3 auctions. Then, you can gradually increase the number of auctions.

This is a pretty safe way to avoid account suspension.
