Hello Community Team, I would like to share my situation in full detail, as it concerns cross-border logistics and how BBE/SNAD metrics handle confirmed third-party postal errors. I have been selling on eBay since 2017, with approximately 500 successful transactions and 208 positive feedbacks. I always ship with proper documentation and follow bulk international shipping procedures. What happenedTwo international parcels were accepted via bulk submission at the post office.In this process in international transit, parcels may be relabeled and re-numbered based on barcode data. The postal operator has officially confirmed that during processing, a barcode was incorrectly associated with the wrong physical parcel. As a result, two buyers received each other’s items. Both buyers were refunded immediately and allowed to keep the items at my expense. According to official written confirmation from the postal operator acknowledging their mistake. My account was permanently restricted due to elevated BBE/SNAD metrics. The support loop problemI have contacted support multiple times and submitted appeals through the HK/APAC channels.Every time, I receive a standard response stating that:“The restriction is permanent and cannot be appealed.” However:The postal operator admits fault.The incident was external to my operational control.The performance metric treated this as seller negligence. It appears that first-line support is unable to evaluate documentation or escalate structural cases involving confirmed third-party errors. When a seller provides documented evidence of third-party postal fault, there seems to be no escalation path beyond automated performance enforcement. Given the documentation available, could this case please be forwarded internally for higher-level evaluation? Thank you for your time and consideration.
