I am seller from eBay. Did you purchase with guess account or registered account in eBay? 

 

The seller was new or with few profile? and OMG why eBay suspended your account?

If you want to share the id of seller from eBay to check his profile of seller. You should be covered by buyer protection of PayPal but I don't understand why eBay suspended your account, what reason?
 
Thanks.

@Nikos1881  I can uderstand. Maybe you was member from one year ago but maybe you had few or zero purchases and suddenly you made a purchase and it was some suspicious because there's so many buyers doing fraud. As seller I am victim of buyers by fraud.

 

Did you used any kind or VPN or something weird in eBay and Paypal to make your purchase. Your PayPal account is verified?

Have this PayPal account almost 10 years and ebay for a year.I have bought stuff before that should not be a problem.if they can only check what has happened with my account they would know the issue right away.

Okay @Nikos1881  so the seller just disappeared from eBay store? Can you check and share the ID of seller to see it he blocked you?

 

If eBay suspended your account I suggest to you as last hope going to PayPal to open a dispute attaching the proof of the fraud to get back your money with "buyer protection" but due eBay suspended your account you should fix it first. Let me see the ID of seller to find him please.
