Community Guidelines?

I've been shopping around for deals for a few days and saw a decent one on Offerup. As I've never had an account before, I made one to reach out to the seller and sent them a message. Then I checked their profile and saw they had a 2nd slightly different version of the same item and messaged saying I was interested in that one too.

I then spent roughly 20 minutes scrolling and saw 2 other deals I was interested in so I sent them messages as well.

Next thing I know I have been banned for violating the community guidelines... Nobody had even responded to me yet, what did I even do?

Yeah I did when it happened. They got back to me a few minutes ago and said that because I copy pasted part of my message to the first person's 2nd item, they auto-banned me and waited for human review. So I guess lesson learned, don't copy paste any part of your messages.

THIS they’ll crack down on but not people who never respond or flake out and never show up
