What happens to my account if it becomes restricted?
Updated February 17, 2026
When your account becomes Restricted , your selling permissions are temporarily adjusted to help stabilize your selling performance.
This usually happens when your Account Score drops below 60 or when a serious penalty is applied.
What does this mean for your account?
While your account is restricted:
- Standard Listings
- You can't create new standard listings
- Existing standard listings are hidden from buyers
- You can still manage and fulfill current orders
- Ready-to-Ship (R2S) Listings
- Fully available
- You can create new R2S listings and manage existing ones as usual
Note:
✳ Limiting sales to R2S only helps reduce failed orders and ensures faster confirmation and shipping, as these steps are handled automatically.
How can I recover from a restricted status?
To recover your account:
- Complete orders successfully
- Avoid order failures or cancellations
Once your Account Score rises above 60 , your account will automatically regain full access to all listing types.
No manual action or support request is required.
Key things to know
- Account restrictions are temporary
- R2S-only selling helps support faster recovery
- Full access is restored automatically as performance improves
