My ebay selling account has been restricted indefinitely, will it be reinstated if my dsr ratings improve?

Don't even bother. Ebay will do what they want, when they want, without explanation. They don't have to tell you why they did anything. Good luck in trying to find out either. They won't respond to emails. You can't call them without being on hold for hours and talking to everyone in their company. I've heard of sellers with 100 positive feedback being messed with by ebay, such as holding paypal payments. They have no reason for what they do and take the big brother "good guy" approach. Apparently, they are discriminating against sellers who do not fit in with the "new look" and corresponding criteria they are looking for. If you are not the right type of seller for ebay, they'll begin to monitor you and F w/ you. They'll give you a lame, PC answer as to why they are doing, but really they are trying to systematically eliminate sellers who don't match what they're are going for. Basically, an online mall. Gone are the days of free trade, open market and unique items. They want high volume, m market, brand new, free shipping, knock off, cheaply made junk from Japan, China and Indonesia. Sellers who sell such items on ebay are flourishing, because they have endless supplies and make ebay the most money, whilst still giving the impression of new, brand name merchandise. I wouldn't even worry about improving your DSR, it's a joke. If it's not your DSR, they will find another meaningless % to discriminate. Why don't you look into other options, where you can make more money for yourself and not ebay.
