ByNewegg Account Suspended—What You Need To Know
Having your Newegg account suspended or banned can be frustrating, especially if the reason is not apparent to you. Companies ban accounts for various reasons, such as violating the company’s terms of service either directly or indirectly—but whatever the case, you want to resolve the issue quickly.
If you don’t want to miss the exclusive sales and promotions Newegg offers, learn what may have caused the issues and discover how you can appeal your account suspension.
How To Know if Your Newegg Account Is Suspended or Banned
When you try to log in, you will see a message stating that your account has been suspended or banned—you won’t have access to your account either way.
Why Did Your Newegg Account Get Suspended?
Online retailers and platforms maintain strict user policies, which many people fail to study in detail—this means that you can violate the rules while performing seemingly normal activities. When your Newegg account gets suspended, you probably want to know the reason. In most cases, all you will get is a general reason, like “an account suspended due to a fraud alert” and nothing more specific than that.
Here are some of the common reasons that may cause your Newegg account to be suspended or banned:
- Using a bot on the Newegg website
- Making several failed login attempts
- Performing activities that trigger fraud alerts
Using a Bot or an Auto Refresher on the Newegg Website
While you may want to maximize your chances of getting the limited high-demand products using an auto refresher, loader, or crawler, it may get you in trouble. Your IP can get permanently banned from Newegg.
According to the retailer, using a bot gives you an unfair advantage to purchasing limited merchandise—it violates their policy to give every buyer a fair chance of getting the items.
Making Several Failed Login Attempts
Making several login attempts without success results in “time-outs,” which means you have to wait for five minutes before another sign-in attempt. If you get too many time-outs, Newegg will block your IP from additional sign-in attempts.
Performing Activities That Trigger Fraud Alerts
The Newegg system may interpret certain activities on your account as a fraud alert, which usually results in suspension. This is often done in an attempt to avoid unauthorized access to your account.
How To Recover Your Banned or Suspended Newegg Account
Every company has its own rules that every user needs to respect, and the decision to unban your account is up to the company. No matter why your account got banned or suspended, you should attempt to recover it as soon as possible. Here is how to get unbanned from Newegg:
- Request help using the Newegg website
- Contact Newegg via email
- Use the live website chat
- Make a phone call
Request Help Using the Newegg Website

Contact Newegg via Email

You may also send an email to webmaster@newegg.com if you require urgent help or feel that you got to the suspended page by mistake. The email should include:

- The error code displayed
