Somebody probably hacked your account and listed a bunch of macbooks for sale. If you list a bunch of expensive stuff with little history of selling eBay will ban you. It also depends on the items "you" list, for some reason apple products turn the fraud score up to 11.



Good idea. I just checked and I don't see anything for sale or recently for sale. And I rotated my password for good measure. I can still login, I just can't buy or sell anything.

I got a flurry of what looked to me like phishing emails 'from eBay' right before my account was suspended...they claimed to cancel my bids on a bunch of old, long over auctions, with the call to action asking me to click on link with a URL referencing a local DLL.

So yah, something fishy is going on, but I can't help eBay figure it out if they just disable my account and make themselves unreachable. Is this what ghosting feels like?

Are you talking about the urls that have "eBayISAPI.dll" in them? That's just how their urls are, not some sort of attempt to execute dlls on your computer.
