Hello guys. I'm new to Blackhatworld, and this is my first post. I found this forum while trying to find answers to a problem I recently ran into, and I would love if someone here could help me get past this problem so I can maybe try to do business on eBay again.
Here is the story. I found a Chinese wholesaler who got me good deals on cases for iPhones and other phones as well. I placed my first order with them for 150 cases. These cases are good quality replicas of OtterBoxes. I placed the order, and the cases came in a week later. I had currently 2 eBay accounts and 1 paypal account. I listed 75 cases on one eBay account, and 75 on the other. Everything was going great at this point. I was selling cases really quickly, and managed to sell about 85 cases in 3 days before I got an email from PayPal asking for more information. They asked me for ID, Utility Bill, Proof of Supplier, Invoices. I said Okay, no big deal I can provide all that information and continue on. After I provided the invoice from the Chinese supplier, and My ID, my paypal account was permanently limited. I have close to 2000 USD stuck in Paypal now and one of my eBay accounts has already been permanently banned from selling new items. I'm stressed out of my mind, and I don't know what my next move should be. I thought this method would work on eBay, and it turned out to put me in debt, restless nights of trying to plan my next move, and stress stress stress.
I want to continue doing business on eBay as I lost my job not too long ago, and am trying to find a way to make money at home while finishing college. Can someone tell me what I did wrong, and what I can do differently to try to sell on eBay again? Any suggestions, advice, or comments would be helpful. Thank you.
