Hi! Why was my account suspended for selling prohibited gift cards? The gift cards I was selling was from Starbucks. They were not stolen or anything. I bought them myself and sold them on gameflip. Why was my account suspended? The email of the account was [joe.applefan780@gmail.com](mailto:joe.applefan780@gmail.com) ---

Here is a [list of prohibited items](https://gameflip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206128677-Prohibited-and-counterfeited-items). Maybe Starbucks gift cards count as “products that require code activation in-person, such as gift cards for restaurants, retail stores”. You should leave your invite code (from your profile) so a moderator can help you. ---

@0tyjoe0 we sent you email warnings about your forbidden item listings, but these were ignored and more listings were put up. That’s the reason your account was suspended. However, I lifted your suspension as we’re changing our policy regarding the sales of gift cards. You can see information about this new policy here: [https://gameflip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002439194](https://gameflip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002439194) **Please, read the article carefully.** You should not have problems to sell your gift cards as long as you include code redemption instructions to your listing’s description. Let us know if you have questions. ---

Hmmm weird. We have the records here and I just tested sending an email from our system to mine and everything works as intended. I’ll investigate further to see if there are more cases like yours. ---

It depends on the violation, but you should not worry as your account is currently restored and you can use it normally. ---
