My friend has long had an eBay account he is about 50/50 buy sell and started selling his antique playboy trading card collection about 6 months ago up to about 3 months ago.

eBay later banned playboy cards but allows the magazines.

My friend has been selling misc games and such but eBay has been alterating 7 day bans for itemsretroactively he sold in the past months before the rule change which results in him not being able to respond to buyers and it’s screwing up his ability to make income and messing with his head.

He has to spend hours on their tech support to get eBay to take off the ban, they agree it’s a mistake say they will fix
but usually won’t fix

They seem to be retroactively going through ancient finished auctions one by one to ban him back when they still had a category and allowed the cards.

Since they are traumatizing him can he sue since they are in the wrong and don’t care causing him to loose the little income he gets while unemployed?

What is more amusing is there are 10’s of thousands of identical cards still up for sale on eBay mostly through a couple very active sellers

Not sure what to tell him, eBay removes the ban just long enough for him to list bball cards and games but then finds something he sold 6 months ago to Reban him so he can’t interact with his buyers, rinse repeat
