I have posted two eBay suspension guides on how to create a new eBay account after being suspended; both have had great success, so this will be my final guide with all the details, strategies and facts I’ve gained about eBay suspensions.
What happens when you become suspended by eBay? You lose all your auctions; your eBay fees are immediately due; your IP address, credit card number, website URL, email address, physical address, phone number and any other information you have giving eBay will now and always be used to recognize you as a suspended user. If you try to create a new account with any of this information, you will immediately be flagged as a suspended user and the new account you created will be suspended. So your goal in creating a new eBay account is to become someone else, stealth as it were.
There are a few steps to take in order to create a new account. These steps are easy compared to the traps you don’t want to trip to keep your account active. The steps to create a new account must be followed exactly in this order without missing a step. If you miss a step, try to take a short cut, or feel you know a better way, you run the risk of eBay detecting who you are and losing your account. Remember this is the easy part.
The steps that need to be taken to create a new account after a suspension are in this order:
- Delete your browser cookies and saved passwords
- Uninstall any 3rd party eBay software i.e. Turbo Lister
- Change your IP address
- Create a new email address from Gmail or Yahoo
- Add that new email to your Paypal account
- Create a new eBay account with the Gmail or Yahoo email
- Create a seller account with a new Credit Card and Bank Info
Remember you goal is to change every aspect of your account to fool eBay into thinking you’re someone else. Any information that can be tracked back to you will link accounts and trigger a suspension. There are many ways to mess this up. I’ll try to explain the above list in more detail and show you what eBay does to link your accounts together and ultimately suspend you.
1. Delete your browser cookies and saved passwords – – The reason to delete your browser cookies and saved passwords is because eBay leaves cookies on your PC with your eBay username and password and this is used to link you to your account. If you fail to delete cookies and accidentally log into a suspended account using the same IP address for your new account, both of your accounts will be linked together and suspended. Therefore never log into suspended accounts once you’ve created a new account, you’ll run the risk of having your new account suspended.
2. Uninstall any eBay software i.e. Turbo Lister – – The reason to uninstall Turbo Lister is because just like an internet browser, this software will sometimes automatically try to log you in to eBay and link accounts. If you try to use this software after you create a new eBay account and it auto logs you in, any new eBay account you’ve created will be linked and suspended. In order to reinstall Turbo Lister and use it without any problem, you’ll need to install it in a new file directory; doing this will make sure you won’t use any previous databases or information from the previous Turbo Lister. Your CSV files are okay to use.
3. Change your IP address – – Your IP address is the easiest way eBay can track who you are and even where you are located. So changing your IP address before you create a new account should be your primary concern. Changing your IP address is fairly simple depending on how you connect to the internet. I’ve had a ton of questions on how to change IP addresses on my last two eBay Suspension guides so I’ll try to explain this a little better.
Depending on what type of ISP you have there are a few ways to change your IP address. First if you are using dial up, don’t even worry about trying to change your IP address. Every time you connect to the internet your IP address is different.
Cable modems (IPs) stay the same until you reset your modem. To change your IP address, simply unplug the power source for 30-60 seconds and plug it back in. If that doesn’t work try this: Go to Start >> Run >> type in CMD; a black prompt screen will pop up. Type in “ipconfig /release”, without quotes; this will release you current IP address. Once this is done unplug your modem’s power source, wait a couple minutes and plug it back in. This only works if you are directly connected to your modem.
If your modem is connected to a router there’s a little more work involved. You must reset your router to accept the new IP address from the modem. DSL modems are basically the same too. If you’re still unable to reset your IP address, I recommend researching your hardware setup on how to change your IP address or try calling your ISP for help.
4. Create a new email address from Gmail or Yahoo – – Once your eBay account is banned, eBay will log all your information used to create the account as suspended. If you try to create a new account with ANY of the same information you will be linked and banned. This means email address too! Do not use your own domain name for your new eBay account either. I know it helps with advertising… i.e. email@aspkin.com. If I were to try to create a new eBay account with email2@aspkin.com after email@aspkin.com was suspended, eBay is not dumb and will link my accounts together and I will be suspended. This is not the case with widely known email providers like Yahoo, Gmail, and Hotmail. So just make sure to use a widely known email provider for your new account and you’ll be okay.
5. Add your new email address to your Paypal account – The reason to add your newly created email address to your Paypal account is because you won’t be able to use the same email address eBay has suspended to send or accept funds from eBay. It has been logged as a suspended user’s email address, and trying to accept funds to your suspended email address will cause your new eBay account to be suspended.
In other words you’ll need to add a second email address to your Paypal account to use with your eBay account. Go to your Paypal account >> Profile >> Email and select to add a new email address. Once this is done, Paypal will send a verification email to that email address for you to verify. Once verified the only thing you have to do on eBay’s end is to add your paypal email address to your auctions and you’re good to go. Do not select to link your eBay and Paypal accounts via ‘eBay Seller Account’; this will cause your account to be suspended. It’s fairly easy, don’t overcomplicate it and you’ll be okay.
6. Create a new eBay account with the Gmail or Yahoo email – Once your cookies and saved passwords have been deleted, Turbo Lister uninstalled (you can reinstall in a different folder), your IP address has been changed and you have created a new email address. You are then ready to set up your new eBay account. Quick tip: Since you’re trying to become someone else, and using your old information will have you suspended. Don’t use your same name or street address. If your name is Marcus Miranda. Be sure to change a few letters around. You’re new name would be Mark Miranda. You can actually use any name you want. It’s your choice. Just remember to never use your same name or address. Be sure to keep your city and country the same however. You don’t want to draw unwanted attention from eBay. Trust me on this.
7. Create a seller account with a new Credit Card and Bank Info – If you’re seller, which I’m guessing 90% of the people reading this are, then you’ll want to be able to sell again. This step is tricky and requires a few more steps. For US sellers, you’ll need to verify who you are before eBay gives you the keys to a seller account.
Here are the steps!
Step One! You’re giving the choice to either submit a new credit card or debit card of yours, or establish proof of identity with their ID Verify, which I don’t recommend. So you’ll need to use a credit or debit card that has no ties to eBay in order for you to create a seller account. Fortunately you’re reading this and have my vast knowledge and expertise on your side. You don’t need to use any of your current credit cards if you don’t want to. I found that prepaid credit cards or virtual gift accounts with either Visa or MC logos work the same and are safer to use. There are several sources to obtain prepaid credit cards or virtual gift accounts. I recommend the VCC sellers in our support forum here or you can search Google for prepaid credit card or gift cards, you’ll have a lot of options for you. Any card which has a MC or Visa logo that you have not used before with eBay will work when creating the account.
Step two! Once you obtain a new credit card you’re ready to create your seller account. When entering your credit card details – your personal information should automatically be entered, your name and address. Try to use this information first when submitting your credit card, 90% of the time eBay will accept this information which should be your bogus name and address. Never use your same name or address on any eBay account; be sure you to use your same city and country for IP reasons. Once your credit card has been accepted you’ll need to enter your banking information.
Step three! Unfortunately the only way to create a seller account is to have a bank account and since 90% of the people reading this has had their bank account information black listed by eBay. Meaning if you enter your old bank account information, eBay will link your eBay accounts together and suspend you. The only way around this is to obtain a new bank account or use a virtual bank account, prepaid cards that have attached bank accounts.
Important! Frequently Asked Questions and more information on specific details you’re going to ask me!
- Do not host your own gallery images. Have either eBay host your images, where you upload your image to eBay or use a 3rd party image hosting website. Example if I host a gallery image from aspkin.com/images and was suspended; eBay will blacklist my domain for GALLERY images, not auction images. Meaning if I try to host a gallery image again from the aspkin.com/images, my eBay account will be linked and suspended. You can however host auction images from any domain including a suspended one without risk. I could successfully use images from aspkin.com in my auctions. Meaning I link directly to the images within an auction description. This has been proven over and over again. Please trust me with this. Read this again if you don’t understand, at least 100+ comments from my previous eBay suspension guides were specific to this. I hope you understand.
- The way eBay and Paypal currently work is that they do not share the same information. They work separately for the time being. That being said, you can use any name and address for your eBay account(s) without Paypal being a problem. The only thing you must worry about from paypal is your email address. Once your email address is banned from eBay, you can no longer use it to receive or send payments to eBay. Meaning you must add a new email address to your Paypal account and use this for your new eBay account. Trust me on this! *This is not the case anymore.
- If you’re having trouble changing your IP address, please contact your ISP or research your specific online connection. I can’t possibly help everyone with their specific changing IP address issues.
- EBay can not grab your IP address unless you actually log into your eBay account.
- The difference between a prepaid CC and one that you apply for and have credit with is just that. I real credit card gives you credit to use for future purchases, a prepaid card is basically the same but you have to pre pay before you use the card. I recommend using a prepaid card because they’re easier and faster to obtain then a regular credit card. You can use either-or when registering an account, the main difference is the credit card number its self. That’s what eBay really monitors. There are other benefits when using a pre-paid credit card, but I’ll let you figure that one out on your own.
- The max number of products I have found safe to upload per day is 100, with a max quantity of 3-5 each item. If you spam with thousands of auctions and 99 quantities that’s a red flag and eBay will ban you.
- When adding a new email address to your Paypal account, you do not have to make it your primary email address. All you need to do is confirm it and you’re good to go.
- Do not link you Paypal account to your eBay account. Note from Johnny be Free, If you use your new eBay account with your old paypal account you’re fine (for now) unless you link the two together to use the Paypal shipping feature.
- One time payments are your best bet to pay your eBay balance.
- Never log into old suspended accounts after creating a new account.
- Listing Description and Titles. You’ll want to change these around a little bit to make sure they’re not an exact copy of your previous auctions.
- Here are a couple websites that will describe what an IP address is and how they work. Wikipedia IP address; How stuff works.

whyh is ebay suspending people with 1 cent auctions
Where can I find ebay rules ?
The impression I get is Ebay really doesn’t care if you’ve been kicked off and have a new account, as long as you abide by the rules. Its money in their pocket if you do. If you keep the same listing practices that got you kicked off to begin with, they will keep going after you. Play their game and you can list forever.
There is no way to verify a bank account unless they do like it they do when you open a PP account. They deposit a tiny amount in the account and you tell them how much it was. Used to be you could call a bank and ask about someone elses account, but now banks are very tight lipped about giving out private info. Too much ID theft going on these days.
Ok.. I dont’ know what happened to my previous comment. Anyway, if you want to purchase an item “buy it now”… does that require linking paypal and ebay? I’d also like to know about the firefox and the bogus bank account questions mentioned above.
I think ebay does a background check on persons now behind there back. I think now they do check those bogus bank accounts to see if its a real account and your personal info
Oh is it bad to use Firefox browser? I heard that will get you suspended? Sorry for all the questions
Aspkin I heard using a PO box will put you at high risk for suspension?
What is up with “Coveted Unsuspendable” ebay account status that let sellers get away with murder? They list all they want, keyword spam all they and never get hassled. How can one get that account status? What do you know about it?
What do you think of this website that has the ezguidebooks.com Thats gives you information on how to get back on ebay?
Aspkin, ebay is saying im abusing policy bla bla bla,I got suspended 2 times within 2 days of listing my auctions. All I did was list about 15 david deangelo guides. Could that be why? If you type in his name on ebay you can see its a popular item right now.Wht do you think? Should I just list 3 at a time? Also 1 more question, how long should I wait to open an ebook bookstore on ebay and is that safe to do regarding ebooks copyrights and all?
Is it safe to purchase a “buy it now” listing? Does that require linking ebay and paypal accounts?
Superbness sorry I’m not avoiding you; I just posted my last response before approving your comment and thus not seeing it to reply to. And actually I just finished replying back to you when I accidentally closed the browser. Sigh…
Though I have to do something right now, I’ll post a reply shortly.
Aspkin,
Aspkins why wont you answer my questions ? I have unanswered questions 6 rows above that you wont answer for whatever the reason but you will answer everyone else questions. Could you please take the time to answer my question like you did Mani, or is this your way of saying your are clueless in regards to my questions?
Also can I have the link to your other websites. I would like an example of how to set up an ecommerce website
I demanded and demanded but nothing. Customer service live chat says they dont know, and they said I have to contact trust and security bla bla which I did and still no reply.
Nos , with much respect to what aspkin, but I would not buy alot of ebooks to get feedback. Ebay will red flag you right away. They red flag new users who buy alot of them cheap ebooks to get feedback. Be careful. I got suspended twice for doing that.
This makes sense… I’ve nevered used Outlook or whatever it’s called, I’ve either used gmail or yahoo to open eBay’s email. Good catch Steve. Either way I wound’t chance it by opening any of eBay’s emails if you have been suspended.
Steve-
Okay I think I understand… You mean that if we get an email with a question on our item, we can open it and reply directly through the email account? I too use Yahoo! but I am a little confused on this…
The situation with opening emails from ebay ,is it possible to not open your emails directly,on your outlook express ,and open them through your IP’s member section and reply that way once you have opened a new ebay account,is it okay to run a dynamic IP and not change your IP with a new account,
Thank’s
This is interesting. ‘An eBay login sets 30 eBay cookies, certainly the most of any site on the web. A SEARCH sets 13 more eBay cookies plus 2 dreaded Doubleclicks. A search for completed auctions and eBay sets 23 more cookies, and 2 more Doubleclicks.’
This what you deal with every time you log on. The experts say Ebay is the cookie king, I’m convinced they plant something on your computer if you open email from a suspended account, even years later. Scary.
aspkin-
On the Simon card, do I need to purchase the Simon gift account. It says this is delivered online or do I need to purchase the card that is actually delivered? I didn’t know if the gift account option could be used anywhere or just with the Simon store? Please advise…
mani
if that was in your email inbox it looks like a phishing email. If there are any links in the copy them to notepad and check the url’s (or simply hover over them in outlook). If they dont go to an obvious ebay URL then it is someone hoping to capture your login details through a copy of the paypal / ebay sign in page hosted on their own server. Add the sender to your junk email and ignore it if that the case.
S.
Dont buy ebooks to fast, i bought 2 ebooks when i made my account and it wouldnt let me again, then I kept trying,I dont know if thats abusing ebay because u try to buy alot and it keep’s telling u. *to avoid abuse we have limit user to buy so many items per day* aspkin what do you say to that? or anyone ?>
I have bought ebooks and coupons about half a dozen times to get new FB and have never had a problem. Ebay even recommends this very thing for new users.
Thank you for your great reply, it is greatly appreciated. One of the other thing that concerns me its about ebook on ebay. Is it a smart way to buy , for example 10 ebooks and earn 10 feedback right away in order to get the privilage of the buy it now option? Cause i have read other guides and some guides do recommend that for feedbacks and i would be interested in knowing your opinion about that. Thank you.
P.S: Your guide is extremely well-done! I really enjoy reading it and i learned alot from there. Thank you
I read everything you have said about PayPal and am still very nervous about using it. I have access to a PP account that has never been connected to an Ebay seller account except to make a one time payment on an Ebay account and to buy cheap FB when I opened a new account in the past. And even though I’ve used it to pay Ebay, you say they won’t connect the accounts together if I use it on the account I’m about to open? Its just so hard to believe.
How about Yahoo internet phone? For $2.50 a month, you can get a real phone number that anybody can call and you answer it on the internet. Its a phone number and you’re paying for it, how could Ebay object.
I’ve never heard of that causing a suspension, I would guess at least 1/3 or people giving eBay a phone number is a bogus one. Sure they’ll ask you to update your phone number, but I don’t think they’ll suspend you if you don’t.
I had been an eBay seller for about a month now. Everyday, i list around 4-5 items, and finally, i got suspended by eBay regarding “abusing ebay policy” I was wondering what that really means? and is there a chance of re-instating my account? because i worked pretty hard to earn those feedbacks. Thank you.
The impression I’m getting, from reading and re-reading all the posts here, is that when Ebay shuts down one of your new accounts, its mostly because you screwed up, and not some wizardry on Ebay’s part.
Sorry, I just read your post about that. =) Thank you again!
that is great! thank you! do you know if ip addresses ever go back to an old one that you had before?
>> But when it’s connected to the router, it says that the ip is that standard 192.168.1.1>>
Thats the router IP, mine says those numbers also. If you want you real IP, the one Ebay see’s, plug your computer directly into the modem, OR, go to Google, type in MY IP ADDRESS, and go to one of the sites that will immediately tell you your IP address. Thats what I do.
My understanding of IP’s is that when you release yours, that IP then becomes the next available one. Thats why you get it right back if you only wait a couple minutes before plugging the modem back in. When you leave it off for 12 hours, the chances are good somebody else got it. Thats why if you change it again in the future, the odds are astronomical that you will ever get the same IP again.
oh and one more thing, not sure if it’s important or not, my internet is never disconnected, as in when i turn off and on my computer, the internet is already connected, I don’t need to log in or anything. Thanks
Aspkin..
Should I worry that ebay can track our router ip, mac ip and regular ip?? Ahh.. what does all this stuff mean.. I am freaking out.. everytime I think I am on the right track, I read something new that worries me..
Thank you
Jacklyn
Steve.. Great news…
I am following your lead with the ip.. (3rd time should be a charm) Anyhow.. you seem to know some good info along with all of aspkins advice… Do you reccomend me doing anything else to completely clean up my system.. Delete all cookies.. system restores, anything!!! I am working my butt of to research how exactly I can create a clean slate on my computer to assure no probs.. I am aware of the ebay suspension cookies you mentioned and just want to double check..
Thanks so much
Jacklyn
Success! Tried the ipconfig, didn’t work. Left the modem unplugged overnight, now I have a new IP.
I have read on several sites now that reading any email from Ebay on a suspended account plants a suspension cookie on your computer, so DON’T DO IT! My brother says I should do a complete system recovery before I get a new account, that way everything is wiped off my hard drive. Too drastic?
He says they suspended him because I paid my Ebay fee’s last summer from his PayPal account and they linked the email address to his account. Possible?
Hi There.. Aspkin or Steve..
Can you reccomend any other clean up issues I need to have happen on my computer to stop ebay from detecting us? Delete cookies, Change IP.. anything else you can think of? I lack in this dept so if you tell me what to do or what to get to ensure my safety.. I will get it.. I have ip blocker software just not sure how good it is..
Thanks.. Happy Sunday all!
Jacklyn
Just to make sure when i make another new account(for being careless). Would it matter if i bought an item from this one seller who gives automatic feedback cause ive been doing that from 3 banned accounts that received that same feedback. (easy feedback)
and…would it matter if i recieved almost da same feedback from users who gave me feedback from before when i was banned.. but im making all the listings different this time.
Hi there.
This week I listed the following on the new account.. 20 items day 1, 30, 2nd day three 40 day four and so on.. until day 6.. suspended.. again I sell nothing that will be veroed, or list breaking rules.. simple clothes.. I did open the e-mail once I chnged ip’s that came to the old bad e-mail.. opened it and believe that is why I was suspended.. Aspkin.. I was suspended again for abusing ebay that’s all they said.. Trying again….
When you say start out small with listings under your new name, whats your idea of small? How many items is it safe to list without getting Ebay attention? 10? 30? More?
I usually list 70-80 with TurboLister, but I know thats out for awhile. I know I have to change the background on my pics and how I write the listings. Any other tips?
I have another person on my wireless internet connection who has 2 Ebay accounts. When they suspended me, they suspended one of their accounts, but not the other one. Weird. When I get a new IP address, this will change the IP of the other person also. Will Ebay pick up on this and make anything out of it? I mean, they can’t know its the same house, it could be an apartment building or an office, they wouldn’t know.
Jack, I can create a new eBay account easily and hand it off to anyone with no problems, it’s keeping your account. That’s the problem.
HI Guys.. For those interested another Bashar.com reply.. I ask the same things I ask here.. About My old Ip being linked to the new one I re-set, I asked if they new how ebay tracked it. Response from Bashar Below:
Yes they can track you via beacons, IP, MAC addresses, cookies, java, and much more, and this is why we have techniques to avoid all their tricks and we hand you our final work with a new account.
Hi jack
Ivebeen suspended I thinki had my warning
Resisted again
Then my item was taken off
And I’m awaiting my account t status response to see what they wish to do
I’m not very technical minded
I’m upset cause i loose my feedback and I don’t know how long it will take to open a eBay sellers store again
Do u know ????
My understanding is when you open an email from Ebay on a suspended account, it plants a suspension cookie on your computer. Then when you log onto Ebay in your new account, it see’s the suspension cookie and suspends the new account also. It only takes one screwup and your toast.
oh one more thing, i’ve used my paypal to pay for some of the ebay fees on my friend’s suspended account, and then a few weeks later, apparently my paypal was still linked with MY ebay account, so it paid the fees automatically on my account, both were through the same credit card. does that mean i can’t use the paypal anymore?
Hey aspkin, i got another question this one is a good one. Well i know that you need 5 feedback to do buy it now for listings well thats important lol. Ive been suspended 3 times alrdy cuz i abused ebay to much with the one cent auction so i know im doing everything right. Its just that its the feedback. Well what is the fastest way to get feedback in 2 days? The first time i got banned was cause of to many one cent auctions..lol… the 2nd was because I used the same proxy addres! >,
I have sold on Ebay for years and never use PayPal because its too expensive. I always have the buyers send checks and MO’s. These obviously have to be in my real name or they can’t be cashed. If I’m using a fake name on Ebay, how do I tell people to send me checks in my real name?
Steve, I wouldn’t buy any of them deals to get back on Ebay.
Most of them are scums, and you don’t need them anyway, just follow the directions and the rules.
Also, I noticed something else that I don’t think was mentioned.
When you open a new Ebay seller’s account, DON’T PUT UP SHORT AUCTIONS(like,1-3 day auctions)!
I seem to get suspended everytime I do that.
Like, what was already said, start slow, get their trust.
Don’t put really high dollar items up at first either.
Also, does anybody know anything about a site called bashar.ca that sells packages to get back on Ebay? They have a really nice website, but have not answered any of my emails. Weird.
I’ve heard that if you open an email from Ebay, they can grab your IP address. Is this true?
JAck,
I would say that was your mistake.
If I was you I wouldn’t reply AT ALL to anything on the old e-mail address.
So, if I sign up for a new Ebay account with my credit card and bank account info but use a false name Ebay won’t know that?
You name isn’t verified by the credit card or bank info at all?
Thanks for your time
Hi again Aspkin.
Sorry to ask so much, but i only have two more questions.
1. Could i just get a friend to use their computer to make a new account under their name and then just change the contact info after they make it?
2. Is it any safer to use a site like auctiva.com to sell things? I was thinking yes because its their ip that logs into ebay and posts your items to sell, not your computer’s.
thanks
ASPKIN>.
Can I ask something.. How do you know all this stuff? It’s mind boggling that you are so genius?
Hi aspkin, its me again. Do you have any advise on how to open another Paypal a/c? when our seller ebay a/c get suspended, should we delete the suspended email address from our PAYPAL a/c ?
currently i have 1 seller ebay account. It is safe to open another seller ebay account ?? And have them both link to same paypal a/c but to 2 different email addresses. eg first seller ebay account to email address A and 2nd seller ebay account to email address B. Of course the seller information such as name, address, Credit card details, telephone number are all different
i tried disconnecting and reconnecting my internet, but it didn’t change the ip address, although for some reason the one that is connected to the modem downstairs has a different ip address than my computer upstairs that is using it wirelessly. my question, by doing that cmd ip release thing, and also needing to reset my router, in what order should i do it in? do i go to iprelease first, and then reset my router? also, after doing this, does it change the ip address for the other 2 computers in my house that is using internet wirelessly? thanks
Aspkin..
Everytime I ask you a question I must THANK YOU before-hand. Thank you ;-0
Anyhow.. We are on the phone with TWC and I think we will be up-grading our account to a business account that will provide the static ip address.. We will end up paying more but this is our business and we are willing to do so unless you can let me know of other options to ask them..Is this what I need?
Very sincerely yours for all eternity..
Jack
Hey, I have a quick question. Will my eBay account be detected if I register the same name from a suspended user but with a different address, credit card, bank account, and IP address? I decided to just sign up for a PO Box and get a Wifi internet access. Let me know, Thanks a bunch!
Has anybody tried ebays customer support phone number? Via email, trying to converse with their trust/safety dept. is a nightmare because it sometimes takes days between their responses. And the live help is useless..Maybe speaking to a live person would help if you have a good case? Anyone had experience with this?
Hi Jack,
EBay has too much to deal with, and not enough information on one person to seek any legal claims. When you’re giving away your SS# that’s where you better play by the rules. Just keep it to a minimal and you’ll be okay.
Second if you log into an eBay account using an IP address eBay knows as a suspended users IP, then eBay will link your accounts together and suspend them. You have to change your IP address first and clean up your computer before you log into a fresh account.
Cheers!
Hi Guys…
Wow~we~Wa~Wa..Awesome Info…Gracias!
Just wanted to ask.. Are there any legal troubles we can get into for re-opening new ebay accounts once we are suspended? I hate to ask but these huge companies scare the crap out of the little guy and wanted to know if I should just go for it and manipulate the ebay monster or bite the bullet and say adios to my ebay days for good.. Need some self-esteem guys.. anyone have any positive thoughts..
Dee,
If you bell sympatico (which is dsl), then I believe you have a log-in manager to connect to the internet..all you have to do is log out then log back in to acquire a new ip..do a google of ‘what my ip’ and check your ip before and after you try this to confirm…another alternative is to get a new nic card and connect your internet through that.
also…..i have a friend who got his ebay account suspended because of unpaid strikes, and he started using his friend’s ebay account to buy and sell things, and he never changed his ip address, but his friend’s account never got suspended. he’s been using it for a really long time now. so why didn’t the other account get suspended too???
Hi Aspkin ,can you recommend a pre paid credit card to get ,there are so many types and they have hidden charges i dont know were to start.Thanks again for your great help
Hello again,
I do have another question. You talk a lot about not selecting to link your ebay and paypal accts together. Is there somewhere in paypal that you check or uncheck to do this? I am a little confused or is it the primary email being the same that links them. If I just choose my second email address in paypal to match my ebay acct does that mean the accts will not be linked? Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the info! I have some questions regarding PayPal. This part very confused me. If I don’t link the ebay Id to the paypal account, how do I receive payments from buyers? Does it mean my buyers cannot click the “pay” button on the invoice and pay? Does it mean I have to email my buyers about my paypal email address and let them send payment manually?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
Quick question and thank you so much for this info !!
Q. ) I have a credit card that has never been used in the suspended ebay account. However, it is linked to the address . Can I still use it ? As long as it is a different card / card # ?
THANK YOU !!!!!
Ok So I have created my new sellers account! I followed your steps to the T so we will see what happens. In regards to my IP, turns out it was my router that was screwing me up. I did a hard reset (held the internal button down with a paperclip). I then unplugged it all. Plugged the modem right into the pc. Ipconfig renew & release and boom, new address. I then hooked my wireless back up and configured it to the new address. Thank you and everyone else for your tips.
oh yeah, and also i’ve also had to log into her suspended account a couple times in order to pay part of the ebay fees through my paypal
Hello,
Wonderful information here! I have a question. My paypal acct was limited first. Then about two weeks later my ebay acct suspended. Paypal told me that my acct was limited as it was linked to another acct that unresolved issues. Does anyone have any ideas how to set up a new paypal acct before I try to set up a ebay acct? Does paypal use the same tracking information as ebay does?
hi,
Some good info on here so far. I was wondering does all this info only apply to auction listings?… Or can I set up buy it now & featured listings as well? Will there be any problem setting up ebay shop, using selling manager pro?
Thanks
Hi Dawson,
Seem like Aspkin is sick and unable to answer fully to everyone’s question. I can try and answer some. For your question, of course you can use your new credit card. Even if one number changed then it is okay. I believe that as long as it is not exactly the same as before then it’s legit. Just follow the steps and you’re fine.
I have comcast and likely I was unable to change my IP. I have two computers and both have the same IP addresses. Which I think it means that having different modem won’t work. One thing I haven’t tried yet is to change my router. I’ve heard that everything our ip changes the router automatically turn it back into the old IP or something like that. Perhabs you can purchase a new router and try it; and if it doesn’t work you can always return it.
If I login payapl with my new email address and I use paypal shipping feature to print shipping label, will they caught me?
Thank you so much!
Hi, Thank you so much for the info.
I followed the steps and I’m selling again! I have a questions, I add a new email address in my paypal account. Can I use paypal shipping feature, print shipping label?
Thanks again!
I received a new credit card from AMEX.
And they replace the old one with a new one…. but ONLY 2 of Last 5 numbers is different….
eg) the old 5 numbers of CC – 10001
eg) the new 5 numbers of CC – 00010
Do you think I can use this new CC?
Thank you again.
I tried to change my IP address but for some reason it won’t release it. I called Comcast too but they said since each IP address is assigned theres no guaranteed it will change. I did the release/renew it at least 10 times and it didn’t work. Any other suggestions? I don’t really want to go to a proxy server because it runs slower than the norm.
Sorry last message should have read “they get you into the home page of ebay” NOT YAHOO!
Hi Melissa,
I was wondering if you or anyone else here has tried a payed version of any of the IP Blockers available on the internet that supposedly allow you to sign in anonymously.
I tried a couple of free version ones which get you through to the home page of yahoo but once you click the sign/in link nothing happens, I think it is something to do with SSL.
If anyone has had any success in creating a new ebay account with an IP blocker your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Melissa, why don’t you try and change internet services? I believe it would work. I had SBC yahoo before, and when I unplug the modem it always give me a new ip every time. I don’t think eBay tracks your mac address.
I have read and agree on your info on my past experience I to just been suspended and losing business, I have one questions I am not to sure about maybe you can help I have got a account up and running but worried to put my bank details up in the item description and not to sure about if iam able to msg thru eBay my bank account details, as I was doing this before and they might have it on records??
Regards
Rob
I don’t think you can change your email address on Paypal and don’t expect Ebay not to find out. You cannot use the same Paypal account you also need to open a new Paypal account.
Hi Dave,
Good stuff, however post account creation there is more steps to be aware of with the artificial intelligence (FADE) now running the show on Ebay. Do you have any insight on listing on High Risk areas (e.g. Automotive) where you’ll get the Ebay Abuse letter real FAST. Are you listing 3 – 5 – or 7 day auctions as a newbie (
On the address preference page can you change the delivery and payment address back to your original address (ths being the one e-bay has suspended you on). But leave your primary one to the false one?
Thank you.
I’ve tried making new accounts 4 times since you started posting this information. I’ve followed your instructions to the letter AND I HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED EVERY TIME. It’s not like I’m selling anything bad, I only sell packing supplies like boxes tape and bubble wrap! Any ideas?
HI JohnzZ,
Yep they have caught you, simple reset you ip address, delete you cookies and try again with the new card.
Hey, I want to ask this. I have created a new account following your steps. HOWEVER, I was at the seller’s option and was entering my Credit card information. I accidently entered my OLD BANNED number (and it was rejected).
My question is: If I enter my new credit card number in, will they know?
Love the information, I tried all of this so we will see what happens. I got suspended in october and have been suspended 3 times in a row so hopefully this new info will put an end to that. THANKS!
