Relisting,ban evasion
Recently, i got banned for a day for relisting then banned during the same day for ban evasion.
May I know which trades i listed counted as relist? I was perma-banned for ban evasion before i got my response on which trade is counted as relisting.

Also, "Please do not use an alternate account or ask another user to trade on your behalf to evade this ban — doing so will result in both accounts being banned permanently" Is it not even allowed to visit outpost during my ban? Assuming I didn't visit it to trade(ie not posting trades or replying to posts)

Because i visited a single link to another user's trade and i was perma-banned for that, wasn't intentional, just bought a 3 months premium too, I wished to seek help and advice on my case.

THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL FOR BAN, just seeking advice to clarify rules and regulations and perhaps some external help.

From the looks of it your 15+ unusual quicksell trades were closed due to being relists.

The way I see it, your main got banned, which means you cannot use any of the sites features. So using an unbanned alt allows you to use the sites features when you shouldn't be, thus being considered a ban evasion. Though you might not have made any trades or replied to any posts, the staff probably can't see who you have added on steam through the site. So your alt was banned.

Regarding the quicksell trades, even a backpack.tf admin has them on outpost, pretty sure wasn't because of that.

And in regards to ban evasion, i wasn't even sure whether i was logged in or not but that rule states clearly that i shouldn't conduct any trades which i didn't... just visited a single outpost link from another site i saw the link on. Wasn't intentional to risk a perma-ban because of a single day ban not to mention i have an ongoing premium subscription

And you can always use the site to browse/look at trades even without logging in,so even a perma banned user can look at the trades, pretty sure what i did by looking at trades isn't ban evasion...
