Why is my account suspended or blocked?
Updated October 24, 2026
What they mean
A suspension or a block is decided by an admin, with a stored reason.
Away mode is not a suspension: you choose it, your shop and profile stay public, and you can keep shipping orders, declining offers and using the wallet.
While you are suspended
You see a permanent notice at the top of every page saying that your account is under review, that you cannot send messages, buy, sell or leave reviews, and that, if you have a wallet balance, you should write to us from support so we can sort it out.
You cannot send messages, create items, buy, send or answer offers, activate or buy boosts, request valuations, confirm deliveries, mark shipments or cancel. If you have an outstanding balance from a chargeback, you cannot buy, sell or withdraw until you settle it with Settle now.
Where you see the reason
Account status (/account/status) lists active warnings with their date and category, or "No active warnings on record.". Warnings clear automatically 6 months after they are issued.
If you are suspended, the page shows the reason and the Appeal via email button, which opens a message to support@colectin.com. If you are blocked, you see only the message and there is no appeal button.
What happens to your listings
If you are blocked, your open offers are closed and nobody can pay you: the buyer gets a notice before any charge.
