Not hot or in big demand.
IMHO go for BIN in that case.

I’ve had quite a few times already when I try bidding it says “you’ve been outbid”, I confirm the higher price & again “you’ve been outbid”. If the item is showing currently $5 & ebay gives me the option to bid $5.50 then how did somebody bid $6 & $7 yesterday, why isn’t it in bidding history, & why isn’t ebay showing the real current price ? Is there a way to hide a bid until someone tries to outbid ?
Its called an automatic bid. In the bid history you have to click show automatic bids.

If the guy paid, the guy paid..
The guy paying means nothing.

Is there any way to appeal and/or get an MC999 restriction overturned?

Please post the email that you got from eBay. (You can cross out private info.)
Also a little background as to what you sell, disputes etc. would be helpful.

I just opened the account around ten days ago. Made a few sales. Mostly health & beauty items. No disputes or any warnings. Just got an email saying this. I chatted with them, they said nothing they can do.

Can you check on your seller performance level and tell me what you see there?
Click on the highlighted part and let me know what you see there.

MC999 is pretty hard to overturn. Try giving them a call, you may have to HUCA a few times.
Not likely you'll get your account reopened but worth a try.
Let us know what happens.

Finally they removed the PayPal fees.
 All you have to do is add you bank account info.
Special mention in DoC, shame they don't have a system ;)

Didn't they change over to managed payments a while ago?

Yes, but now they are forcing sellers to switch over.

 Interesting that select shoes over $100 doesn't pay any fees.

 And when did they up thier game to 12.55%?

I had a performance issue 3-4 years ago and had it resolved after filing a BBB complaint. I think it's worth a shot, it might not work, but it is likely that they will at least give you a reason.

Been thinking about it, and think I may have accidently added a phone number that I had used on an old account that I had issues on. I'm assuming that was their problem with me...

It was always 10% eBay fees and 2.9% + 30˘ PayPal fees, so not much changed...

Makes sense. Did you try contacting them?
