3 Years Strong, Got The MC999

[sttephannyh]

I bought the book, and have been running for 3 years. This past Monday, I got the MC999 email. For the past few weeks, I knew something was wrong. My orders started coming in with complaints. I even told the supplier their products have turned to crap, and I will no longer use them.

I went back to my original supplier, who never once gave me or my customers trouble, but it was too late. I never got a chance to list my new products.
EB removed the listing based on the amount of case's that were opened on that one product. My feedback only had 7 negatives for the three years and over 1500 positives.

Anyways, that account is still active, but I'm going to leave it alone and create new ones. I no longer have the Stealth Book, but I remember everything it taught me. I returned to the threads to see if there were any new updates on VCC, P.O. boxes verse UPS mailboxes, etc for 2014.



I'm glad to see the forum still going strong!

I said I was going to leave my one-and-only, 3 year old, stealth eb page alone after getting my first MC999 email (quoted below) and just create a new one. Well, I ordered the Stealth Book again today to learn about any updated information I didn't know.

I read that Powersellers can take multiple hits before suspension. I am a Level 5 Powerseller with 7 negatives(most are recent), over 1500 positives, and DSR is 5. This account is still active. Like stated in my previous thread, I knew the problem before I got the MC999 email, but couldn't correct it in time.

I don't plan on selling the same items that caused me trouble. Can I still sell on that account, with different products I can guarantee are not replica's (Receipts from U.S. based physical stores)? I am in the process of creating new accounts, but as we all know, they can't be touched for some time.




"After reviewing your eBay account, we've taken the following action:

Please be sure your current and future listings follow these guidelines, keeping in mind that additional violations could result in the suspension of your account."

Thank you.

Yes you can still sell on the account.
Dont sell VERO items until the policy breach has been removed.

It sounds like you have competition after you? So it would be wise to change what you are selling to get rid of this person.

The problem your going to run into is, If you list high risk items or Vero items on a fresh account....it will have a high risk of getting limited, MC999'ed, Vero takedown, etc.

You might want to start out selling low risk items before you get into selling the items you want.

I don't plan on it. I've only sold one product for these 3 years, and it generated enough to be my sole source of household income. A couple weeks ago, I started getting complaint after complaint. I thought it was my product, but since the MC999 email, I haven't gotten one complaint. All I see are positive feedbacks coming in.

I wouldn't doubt competition. I've even seen a new stealth account with my exact same description in their ad. It sucks, but there's nothing I can do.

Yes, I plan on selling low rise. On the 3 year old account, I started off with basic, around the house stuff.
I just hate having to live on my savings for it to build up trust. That's why I was wondering if I could continue to sell on my active account, but just low-risk stuff.

Thanks!

If you sell low-risk items on the account you got the MC999 you should be fine.

Spread your sells with other accounts......avoid relisting the same item when getting the MC9999
