There is no proof for anything. eBay is like acts of god. They can hit at any time, anyone. Just like a lightning strike or a tornado, they can hit you but not your neighbor.

trig · 07-24-2008, 02:13 PM

well, for someone to come on here and say AOL will get you banned is very alarming.

sometimes I wish this forum was totally membership only.

imjustme · 07-24-2008, 02:50 PM

I've heard about that too, but nothing is proven. Only eBay knows why they ban you and they won't tell you. So all we have is speculation.

sparkle · 07-25-2008, 08:53 AM

I tried it last week, it let me register, I waited a few days to get my paypal verified first, as soon as I listed my first item, I got suspended. Happened to another person here recently too. I can safely say it IS proven.

trig · 07-25-2008, 09:31 AM

i think theres more to it than that

ebayhateluv · 07-25-2008, 09:39 AM

HI Folks:
IM Probably more of a Glutton for Punishment than Most folks..

Ive experimented with loosing 30-40 accts back in January of this year..
I can tell you MY OWN experience:
a.) I got suspended using Gmail, Hotmail, AOl Mail, even yahoo mail
b.) I got suspended while using Verizon DSL, while using Comcast Cable
c.) Ive been suspended while using AOL -but not nearly as much as via direct cable/dsl i.p.
d.) MY Golden accts-that i am very careful with--have been up/stayed up ever since I came to this forum last year... Most of them are Power Seller accts today

trig · 07-25-2008, 09:43 AM

why do you think you were suspended?
have you had any suspended since you've been here?

sparkle · 07-26-2008, 03:02 AM

No I have made many accounts and theyre all fine. The ones that have been suspended I found out the reasons. The AOL suspension was due to "We are unable to verify your information". Maybe it works for americans still, someone else will have to try it.

I have yet to have any problems with any of ther accounts that I access through AOL due to the AOL proxy. I had problems with one account but I am 100% certain that it had nothing to do with the AOL aspect.

But just when you think that you have it figured out ebay goes ahead and changes the rules.

What's up Doggie?

jerkyboy1 · 08-01-2008, 02:24 AM

Let me clear this up for you guys. Vtunnel.com, this site is free and supports https logins and other secure connections where passwords and usernames are needed. This site changes your ip address everytime and you can log in to ebay without being linked or do your shill bidding if needed. The only problem is if you use it often eBay will send you an third party authorized your account warning because of changing ip's all the time.

MrBluesky · 08-01-2008, 10:59 AM

hello all , just purchased the ebook. its printing off now, another purchase i have made is a IP address masker, and a separate laptop. So ive spent the money and need to get back on ebay

So please can you help me set up a new ebay selling account account.

thanks

ebayhateluv · 08-02-2008, 12:50 AM

HI Mr. Blue--its all in your ebook! (thank goodness)!

Be careful with the masker--ebay does not like them..

MrBluesky · 08-03-2008, 02:10 AM

i have been given my sisters account, i am using this " hide my ip address " software. surely if its a a account thats been going for a while they wont suspect someone else is using it. i have completed the online security checks they through at me as i just called her up.

what do you think?

Modee · 08-03-2008, 02:34 AM

All proxies are a bust.

If your using Bt Hub, you don't need an IP masker... and as advised already, they're not reliable.......

selous2001 · 08-05-2008, 01:06 PM

Re; your repeated shutdown, I have heard of people using "cloak" software like Ultrasurf - this slows the PC down but allows you to operate online without snoopers causing problems, and I'm guessing that means it hides the PC's origins...?

In other words, just like we said at the beginning of this thread:

Our current research shows that all proxies, IP masking/cloaking tools, VPN, etc. will get you busted by EBAY. At best, they will throw your account into close scrutiny.

I would never risk one of my pre 11/2007 accounts on ANY proxy. I suppose if you have nothing to lose, sure...try yet another proxy. But the statement above stands.

jerkyboy1 · 08-06-2008, 03:00 PM

my point sort of on that was if people were just making accounts to do shill bidding once or twice and then throw away then the proxy thing would be a good idea for that scenario because it would keep you safe. Also, I don't recommend going through any proxy to login to any type of important account of any kind for your information can be intercepted so once again it should probably be used only for accounts you don't mind losing or of no value.
