I guess I didn’t make it clear enough. I checked out the email I am a computer systems engineer. I do this stuff for a living.

It was not trying to get me to log in, so they could phish for my info, there was not a log in link.

It was a real email from ebay, and that account is banned when I TRIED to log in.

Is EBAY checking your social posting on other sites? Or responding to other users who ‘report’ you?

I know Facebook traces your cookies. Although I don’t know how far back or forward Facebook tracks your internet usage, I just know they do.

It’s quite likely that Ebay does the same thing, and probably all the other liberal social media.

I don’t know as I cancelled my Ebay account a long time ago.

Big eBay Brother is watching you...............

Clear your cookies as often as you can.

They read your cookies to see where you have been, and look for “crazy right-wing” sites like FR.................😉

I just now checked my eBay account (logged in with no problem.) I use it on and off (last time was a couple months ago.)

[plain talk]

I have not used ebay in a while. I just logged in and all is well with my ebay account.

You say you haven’t used ebay in years. At some point ebay will likely delete accounts due to inactivity.

You get this seemingly legit email and then try to log in to ebay and it denies access not because of some hate speech but due to inactivity?

Just a thought.

Send them a note explaining you can’t sell your at home abortion products without an Ebay account.

Was your ebay account accessed by anyone while you were not there, and used to sell objectionable material, or post objectionable reviews?

This is very interesting.
