Validation Status Issue for the Contributor Account

I was noticed that my contributor account had the validation status issue. I emailed for the detail and was informed that there were some unusual purchases in my account and I had to wait for the checking. I have been waiting for 5 days but there is no update. Does anyone get the same issue as mine? Please share to me how should I do to resolve the issue? Many thanks!

Work on other projects while the investigation completes. It could take several weeks before you hear the results of their findings.

My account is locked due to unusual purchases. This is not caused by me. However I created a topic on this and it is also locked for comments.
What's happening?
Does Adobe really protect contributors or do they just want to take money from them?

What do you mean you "created a topic on this and it is also locked for comments"?

If you have replied to the Contact Us link on that page you must wait for Adobe to reply.

I can say that this is really stealing from the contributors. I sold 50 units in 2 days, got excited and went to show it off to everyone. But then I withdraw the money, the account is locked immediately. The amount was also not returned, no email response.
I believe a lot of people here are in a similar situation.

Unexpected high purchase is not related to the seller, the abnormal verification is Adobe's business, not mine. Instead they closed my account and took my money. A blatant theft.

Intellectual Property. Could also be copyright violations if you have uploaded something for which someone else holds the copyright.

No. As in Intellectual Property.

It's possible that one or more of your assets were reported by a Buyer or other Adonpbe user for poor quality or IP violations.

I noticed that the account was locked during checkout. That is, if you do not press the pay out button, the account will still sell normally and after the payment is complete, the account will be locked and the entire amount will be confiscated.

All three of my accounts were blocked in this way. When your download volume is particularly high on a certain day, there is a probability of more than 90% that you will be blocked, and you are fine if you don’t withdraw cash, and you will be blocked if you withdraw cash. When I was banned, the withdrawal amount was 470 US dollars, and there was 120 US dollars in the account, and a total of 590 US dollars were confiscated by them. Don't expect it, your account will not be unblocked.

Perhaps the reason for the blockage is that you have 3 accounts !

It's been too long and I haven't received any response from Adobe. This is really unfair, my account was locked due to something I didn't do.
Please give me feedback

No one here in the forum is an Adobe employee, so we can't help with issues relating to your account validation issue. There is nothing you can do except wait for a response from Adobe.

Till now i still have not received a response.

I have encountered that because the sale is abnormally blocked, the probability of unblocking is 0, so don't wait.

Be patient. With some luck your account will soon be reactivated. Maybe not. Adobe has the right to deactivate any accounts they believe to be in validation of the service agreement.

Wait another two weeks then write contributor-support again. Not too often. You do not want to anoy them.
