eBay MC011 documents requested: prepare from the notice, not a generic list

Use this guide only if you received an actual MC011 request for information or documents. It is not a general explanation of every MC011 restriction.

Let the authenticated notice control

The exact request controls. eBay’s public guidance says restriction messages explain what action applies to the account, but wording and requirements can differ by market and case. This page therefore does not provide a universal document list, deadline, file rule, affected-function list, or submission route.

Verify the message first

Check that the same notice appears in your signed-in eBay Messages. Do not rely only on an email, text message, phone call, or external link.

If the message is not present in eBay Messages, pause. Do not send records or account information through the unverified contact.

Turn the notice into a private checklist

Read the authenticated notice line by line. In a private working note, record each requested category using the notice’s exact wording. Keep the request separate from your interpretation of it.

  • a genuine existing record appears to match;
  • you are not sure whether a genuine record matches;
  • no genuine matching record exists.

This prevents a generic internet checklist from replacing the request actually shown in the account.

Use only genuine, consistent records

Before sharing anything, check that a proposed record is authentic, readable, relevant to the requested point, and consistent with the account and transaction information it is meant to support.

Stop when the evidence does not fit

If you do not have a genuine record that matches a requested point, do not force an unrelated document into that slot. Ask eBay to clarify the requirement or whether a legitimate alternative is accepted for your market and case.

This guide cannot confirm an alternative, a review time, reinstatement, payout release, or any other outcome.

Keep a clean record of the process

Preserve the authenticated notice, the private request checklist, the genuine records you considered, and any confirmation eBay displays. Keep passwords, authentication codes, full payment-card information, and unnecessary identity documents out of an initial consultation message.
