Is my PS3 banned from PLaystation Network?

I bought a pre-owned PS3 from a reputable game shop and when I tried to log onto my account it says "You cannot use the PLaystation Network with this account". I had to swap my previous PS3 which I created the account on because the laser broke.

There are no error codes and I am able to browse google on the PS3. I just can't sign into the Network? Does this mean my concole is banned or my account?

Sony can't tell me because their servers have been down this week...

    If your account had been banned you would have received an email from PSN. Sounds like your "new" PS3's previous owner's behaviour was so bad they were MAC blocked. You'll have to sort this out with Sony support.

    try making a new account on the psn, and if it doesnt let you then it means that the console itself is ip banned, but if no problems on a new account then it is your old account that is banned. Either way you need to ask the seller of the console and maybe ask for a refund.

    Sounds like you might need to deactivate the old PS3 and then activate the new PS3. Should be somewhere in the options of the XMB.

    countless the time, they are scams. maximum individuals use the code and get all the money off it then sell the cardboard asserting that it has money. i does no longer purchase one via Ebay. those are criminal and no, you will no longer get banned. you will locate them in maximum shops.
