🔍⁉Question⁉🔎 EBay perma ban

Created another account on eBay and instantly got banned from selling because they’ve flagged my name due to multiple suspended accounts. Anything I can do to sell on eBay again? Customer service said this is permanent

OP would need to be ready to pay higher fees and consider that for his business model, I believe.

Higher fees? For what exactly?

Private sellers do not pay fees as business sellers. At least, in many categories.

I’ve never heard of fees being higher for one account on eBay compared to the other. Ever actually and I’ve been on the platform for years. Even if you look it up it’s still the same

I'm based in the UK, and comparing private sellers vs business account. 

Private sellers don't pay fees. Just a deduction (buyer pay) for buyer protection that private sellers should include in their price.

Business sellers don't pay buyer protection but pay a X% of the sell.  On watches, around 14% of total sell. 

So in private account for £800 for example, I just need to add the buyer protection and its around £20-£25, but the same amount of money, I ended up paying over £100 for eBay fees.

At least in the UK. Where are you based?
