Permanent bans on igitems are enforced to maintain the integrity and safety of the marketplace. These bans apply to individuals, preventing them from purchasing or registering new accounts on the platform.

Reasons for Permanent Bans
Buyers can face permanent bans for serious violations, including:
Chargeback Fraud: Initiating a chargeback through a bank after receiving items results in a permanent ban.
Account Recovery Scam: Lifetime bans are issued for intentional recoveries of accounts after sale. Mistakes that are quickly resolved do not count.
Engagement in Scams: Using counterfeit money, claiming non-delivery after receiving items, or involvement in purchasing stolen goods are grounds for permanent bans.
Ban Enforcement
Bans apply to the individual, not just the account. This means that new registrations attempting to circumvent a ban will be suspended without further explanation. Any transactions attempted under new registrations by banned individuals will be considered illegitimate, and funds may be permanently frozen.
Conclusion
Permanent bans serve to protect all members of the igitems community by ensuring that actions which compromise the marketplace’s fairness and security are addressed. Buyers subject to a ban should understand the severity of their actions and the lasting impact these can have on their ability to engage with igitems.
