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.

Can you log in as guest and purchase something with paypal that was linked to your banned ebay account
ebay suck.to stricted.i got my account suspended.because i had more than one.who cares.i called ebay.wont let me have my account back.
Time to go stealth!
I got my account suspended because I was doing what ds domination told me to do.
Hmm, have you tried eBay Stealth?
so if I use a fake name what do I do if ebay calls me for account verrifcation don’t they use public records which would show details
There are many ways to create a stealth account.. some ideas better than others.. fake name is bad idea but depending on your needs, it may work. Read eBay Stealth and see other ideas.
So, since paypal and ebay are now separate companies again, can one just add a new email to a paypal account again?
That doesn’t work.
Hello,
just want to ask if Ebay Stealth Guyide is still actual ? It was written many years ago, but the procedures now with ebay and paypal could be different.
thanks in advance
It has been updated and now it’s kept update to date monthly and things change. It’ll boss!
Am new on ebay what thing can i do in order for me to start buying using ebay & how can I register on ebay
Geez, just use a proxy to change your ip address, it’s modern times people. going to a lot of trouble to change an ip is ridiculous. (You can go through this site and they’ll hide your real ip through several of their fake ones). Most companies charge a small monthly fee and they should. they’re providing a great service. I highly recommend, “gotrusted”
However and with that being said, if you’re suspended from ebay, then I’m sure they had a good reason and you’ll probably get back on there just to cause more trouble…Lol
Proxies don’t work. And many people get booted off eBay for simply being linked to a suspended user.
I forgot to also say that the items I will be selling on my friends account are completely different than the ones I have been selling on my suspended account so there is no connection there.
i have a question if i buy a new laptop do i need to change IP and clear cookies please my account suspend 3 times
What is the best and safest vitual bank account that I can use
Hi im just confuse on one thing. if I create new ebay account but to pay for items or sell I use my same paypal of course with a different email removing the old one and different address. will it link the two accounts if my debit card or checking account on paypal is still on there or used? even though im not linking ebay n paypal?
hey, my account was suspended. I was going to use my sisters account to list stuff. shes from GA im in SC. i was gonna list and pre schedule through her auctivia account. i would never log into her ebay through my computer though. wondering if ebay can link me that way?
Hello, my account got suspended, I tried to import my unsold listings on inkfrog to the library but it won’t allow me import them because the ebay account is not active. Is there a way I could retrieve these listings as I do have another account that’s not linked to the suspended account and I’m trying to relist my other items on the other active account.
Thanks
I had excellent feed back but I got 2 bad reviews so ebay suspended my account they ddidn’t care that I had over 400 possitve feed backs. My question is how do I set up my pay pal won’t ebay know its me whwn I linl them from my tax I’d or business name? Please help.
Thanks Irina
Sorry had written wrong email
well when i was trying to follow somebody it said your account has been suspended so what do i do about it ive been suspended 2 times in a row
Here is what I’m told to do,
(1)Clean your PC out.
(2)Apply for a Prepaid CC as example a Green Dot card.(My question here is,Your name is required to apply for a credit card.When applying for a new CC what name do you use?Can you use your suspended real name?)
I’m not understanding what do you do about your suspended information like your first and last names?You say to apply for a new bank account and a pre-paid CC O.K…Well,in order to apply for another bank account or CC requires your real name,address and SSN#.Example,If John Doe was suspended from selling on eBay.John Doe decides to open another seller account.When he is asked for bank and CC information.Won’t eBay link the name on the card or bank account?
surley after a certain amount of time ebay will clear the system of all older accounts and you;ll be good to go again with your name and address,if not a cyber attack might be on the cards,with lots of willing participants!!!!
So my account got suspend, and my other acocunt’s selling limits ere removed so I couldn’t sell on it anymore, I look back at it, and I can sell again. How come both my accounts didn’t get blocked? Why did only one?
Also, I’m going to make a new account and start over, I’ll change EVERYTHING, but do I have to change my address? I mean, I could be a person renting out the place that I’m staying at?
J.M.
I feel your pain. We just had a recent boom in sales similar to yours and eBay has linked and indefinitely suspended 4 accounts of ours, and limited sales to $500/month for 90 days on 2 other accounts.
We’ve now changed our IP address with a free program called Spotflux, which changes it each time you login with the program.
It’s disgusting how they can totally annihilate your life at a whim, and the seemingly inhumane disconnection they treat you with when you try to call them to reach a solution.
Good luck, let us know any updates!
Hi i have tried everything and my account was very good so far .. till yesterday , i think what i did wrong was to pay my fees with my paypal account.. i didn’t use my old ebay email addres , but my new one.. What do you think ?? thank you
I had an account suspended 6 months ago along with my pay pal account. My question is, if we open another account under a different name, and pay pal account under a different name, will they connect the bank account info (name, address) to the ebay account. Bank Account will be in my name.
hello! I have question im suspended for first time. How long suspension take?? will the suspension be removed?
Hello Aspkin, first, thanks for all your advices.
Please, I would know if when I´m becoming the new eBay account to a seller account, Can I select for pay the eBay commisions with my PayPal account with the new email associated and the old email deleted?. I need verify the account seller, and I have two ways for do that, choosing a PayPal account or a credit card.
Thank you
Regards
One more question i have a ecommerce website but my old paypal account was suspended already for some paypal violation.
Can i create a new paypal account with a different name and link it to my ecommerce site again?
Will paypal be able to detect it and suspend my paypal account again?
i wud like to know if my account got suspended can i open another account on my fathers name with new ip address new contact address new pc . will they check my middle name and surname with my fathers first name and sir name
Very strange situation i have here and would like some advice, Paypal have closed me down! They in turn got eBay to close down one of my two eBay accounts, but the other one remains open.
Whats the best way to cicumnavigate the paypal tracking systems and get another paypal account?
Hi,
one of my friend wanted to buy something on eBay with his own eBay account, but he had not enough money on his PayPal account so he used my PayPal account, but I used this account with my eBay account which is banned. Will eBay suspend my friends account?
thx
i understand about changing IP add (haveing to change providers as cant change it with current) and i can use a diff name and add for new acc but when linking to paypal does my new acc and credit card have to match my made up name as i had to give me real details for these?
Let’s hope that this information is helpful
if my sister opens up a sellers account with her information I would be able to log into her account AFTER I CHANGE MY IP ADRESS here on my computer and then be able to sell items under her log in right?
Do you accept paypal for payment of your book?
Hi
i really need some help here iv been restricted from ebay…. i run a good honest business but my performance was too low how to i get back on ebay pls ?
Just wanted to say thank you for guiding me back to making money money after having several accounts suspended. I have one question? After you change your IP address and add another account, which for the most part is working successfully, can multiple accounts be made or will they all be linked to the same new IP address. Therefore, can I make more account or is it to risky?
So you need to clear the cookies, get a new IP, new email address, and new checking account. What I don’t understand is why do you need a pre-paid debit card? You can’t just use the debit card you got for opening the new checking account?
There is a good chance of linking.. read eBay Stealth and follow it’s steps to the letter and any new accounts you create shouldn’t have this problem. Good luck!
nice info, i followed your instructions step by step, including deleting browser cookies, but then i downloaded the ebook ebay stealth and there they talk about deleting flash cookies, which i did not, the new account has everything different from my old one except for flash cookies, is it going to be suspended?
i created an an eBAY seller account but my monthly listing limit is only 10 items per month, if i want to list more than 10 items it asks me to confirm Ebay identity address with paypal and confirm banking details same as ebay address, but if i confirm paypal address bank it wont match address with ebay, so how can i resolve this other way to increase my monthly item listing ?
pls advise thanks
I’m using static Ip’s. normal when you have a few static Ip’s you have the same first numbers and only ending numbers will change.. do you think eBay will put this together…or its enough that the ending number is different
Has anyone used this method recently? Does it still work? I too was suspended “for the safety of ebay members” was the only reason I was given. I was also a power seller over 800+ and 99.8% feedback. So odd, if the buyers are happy with me why isn’t ebay? Anyways I’m looking for a way back on there if anyone knows a sure fire way please share.
Hi
when I am suspended, I always create a new ebay account to sell and always paypal limited my paypal account and the reclaim me any extra information. This is normal? ALWAYS PAYPAL LIMITED the paypal account to news ebay sellers users? In my case always always limted muy paypal account

do you know how I can permanently erase my suspended ebay accounts??? I hear there are ways but I can’t seem to find any. And do you think this helps when attempting to open new accounts? Also can I keep my email address I have and just use the new one strictly for ebay and paypal?
Hey Aspkin, this suspension guide sounds really really helpful. I’m doing everything you listed in the guide, however I’m having trouble getting my IP resetted. I called my ISP (Rogers Canada) and they told me that the dynamic IP is periodically resetted (once a month) and there’s nothing Rogers can do to manually reset it. What can I do to get my IP resetted? Thanks.

My question is…Does anyone know how to make a new PAYPAL account Successfully?
can u get suspended for using the same checking account from my last suspended ebay account. do i need a new checking account,
I keep geting suspened from my laptop from ebay over and over. i got a new gift card, changed my email, changed my name. is it because of my ip address, if it is , how do I change it if im using a wireless laptop with the router card. eddie
situation: SUSPENDED (inked, assosiated, related etc. to a suspended account)
what i did:
new name, address etc.
new credit card
new paypal (new CC, new name, new enal)
new router/DSL modem connected per USB
clear cache, no cookies
i use (the same) ISP with dynamic IP – should not be a problem
my new account has been banned within one hour after first listing.
question: what i did wrong?
also interesting: they banned 4 old accounts, and 5 that i tried to open after suspention, but one account still works although i use it from the same PC… ?
any ideas?
Has anyone tried to use ghost surf on ebay or firefox
How does ebay track muliple accounts and suspend me for that. How can get around running multiple accounts without ebay tracing me? Thanks eddie
Just to let you guys know again, we have a forum dedicated to eBay suspensions. Check it out.
eBay Suspensions
I am totally agree with what you have said. tqk. Actually, there is another ubidfree.com. No charge there. I am not sure whether there are enough traffic there. But it is free. So we can just take a couple of minutes to list the items there. At least it can be viewed as the advertisement. Hope we can bring another competitor to eBay. The better is to take it down.
Also meant to add that the shipping address for my mates account is a po box and the new account is also the po box but has a different spelling.
should I be concerned about the new account bringing down the good one?
If I register again after being suspended do I have to change my name and address? If I do I won’t get the things I pay for as none of my friends or family have secure addresses. I am from Australia. Thank you 🙂
The Forums are installed! Please discuss any issues related to eBay suspensions there please. The forum is still in its primitive form. In the coming weeks I hope to make it look not so out of the box, but everything is running smoothly. This is my first forum as well, so please bear with me. 🙂
Please contribute to the forums; I made them mostly for the people contributing to this post! You! Let’s get started!
Can someone answer my question up above, thnx in advance!
my comment got deleted lol.
Aspkin, were my posts deleted in the server switch? I posted earlier today. Thanks
Guys, just to let you know, I just recently switched servers and there are a couple comments that I wasn’t able to save in time. Sorry for that. Though the website should run faster now and I’ll soon have the fourms installed! 🙂
Cheers!
Klas, which bank was this with? Are you from Oz? I assume you are an Australian registered business so maybe the banks can allow some leeway for address. For personal use, you cannot use a po box as a primary address. They only accept residential address. I’ve contacted most banks over the phone about it. It’s their policy. If the bank chose who to allow and not to allow to have an account judging on what a person is saying, i guess it is their loss. I’ll go somewhere else.
My new account was suspended just few days after I created it. I did everything correctly. Then I sold and bought few items for 1 cent to generate some feedback. Today I listed a digital camera for $70 and was suspended few hours later.
Was it because of “high value” item?
What is the strategy to start selling items like cameras, computers, etc.?
Has anyone been suspended due to being linked to an old suspended account multiple times…and then used the above to get back on and stayed on for more than a couple months without being suspended again?
Take care
Im talking about how do i get ebay to think that i own the account that i borrowed from my friend? When they have to call me!! And I dont live in that area phone code and im not a woman thats 38 yrs old! How do I fix this problem?>~ This always happens after a week of selling for me on ebay then the third party crap comes out and thinks im doing bad stuff on her ebay account cause of a different ip…. Its simple to understand.
What to do now?
Please! 🙂
Mo, good! Post as soon as possible! 🙂
How long have you been back online? Are you sure it’s fail proof? Because I have followed the above without failure and do not violate any other policies other than getting linked to an old suspended accont time after time.
Help!!
I have gone beyond everything Aspkin (who is the Master) has written about here and have found most of the answers to EBAY reinstatement, PayPal, banks, email, proxies, EVERYTHING! Give me some time to coordinate all of it into one post or new website.
Charn, not sure what problems yer causin yerself mate. I just set up 2 bank accounts both with po addys on em with no problem. Gave my business name on both of them no problems too. Guess you pissed off your bank eh?
Also is can ebay suspended you or track you just if you log in to your email adress that is linked to the old suspended ebay account!
Best regards
Hi,
1. What is the best free proxy in the US?
Dawson I stopped commenting on this post weeks ago because I got tired of it, but since your question is a simple yes or no, I can say 99% chance it’s a no. You should be okay. 🙂
I was not able to log into the account since I typed in the wrong password….
Maybe I didn’t explain it clearly…
1. I’ve had my new account more than 3 months… – selling and buying
2. Of course the new account was created under new IP address.
3. Never logged into the old account
4. Days ago, (out of old habit) I have tried to log into the old account… but was not able to. Technically did not log into the account.
5. Would ebay link the two accounts?
6. Am I paranoid?
Thanks guys…
Time will tell, but someone I know made a similar mistake. He told me that he logged into his new, not suspended account on the old IP address of the account that had been suspended. But then he logged right back out. So far, nothing has happened to him from what I understand.
Hello aspkin,
I accidently tried to log into my suspended ebay accounted… but I typed in the wrong password (hugh….. !! that was close).
Do you think ebay will still link my new account with the old account? And eventully will I get suspended again??
Thank you…
I dont think paypal operates the same way as ebay. Ive had th esame paypal for years now and used it with numerous suspended ebay accounts. I only had a paypal account frozen once a few years ago probably because ebay suspended me and i also had a claim in. Paypal probably does track your ip but they dont seem to inform ebay about it or freeze your account becuase you were suspended by ebay. I could be wrong but i never had a problem. Ive logged on to paypal many times under a suspended ebay IP address.
I have all the info on PayPal now too! from personal experience. Eureka!
I have a question. You said that Paypal tracks your IP address the same as eBay? I used the new paypal with my old computer should I worry? Do I need to create a brand new paypal on my new isp/computer and the same with eBay to start selling again?
Thanks
Saul not sure what you are asking?
I NEED HELP! OMG!!! Ok i used someones accoutn ok it went all well, but when i use a proxy on it, it dont work. Because it things im a third party !!#@!@$#
How can I fix tis?> Now I have to get my friend to get the call from ebay to verify the account man this sucks.
I have a question here. Can you log into your account with a computer that you have used before but not since being suspended? I logged in with my work computer on my old acct. then I got suspended but I havent logged in through my work computer since I got suspended so im wondering do they still track that or is it safe to log in from work?
hi Aspkin,
great advice mate!
I got suspended due to being linked to an old suspended account i had from ages ago.I’m back on as a buyer,thats pretty simple like you say,was wondering as the credit card currently logged with them expires in 2 weeks and becomes “non specified” on the site when my updated credit card arrives can i add this to my new account as it has the same numbers?
I know ebay no longer shows your card in your personal information section of the site when it expires so surely they cant link it with the new one,or can they?
“Using a proxy is a no no” – well, the ONLY account of my four that was suspended but reinstated was via proxy. So much for that guide.
” Also, to be safe, I respond to EBAY emails only within the EBAY system and while logged in via proxy.”
According to this guide, it is the worst thing you can do. Using a proxy is a no no as well.
On that ebook again; No banks in Oz accept po.box as a primary address. They only accept residential. Also this chap makes the mistake of claiming that a DBA will fix this. Shame about us not having this luxury of having a government dep which allows this aye mate? If we did, it still wouldn’t a make a difference as the Banks still don’t accept po boxes as business address. Robert stick to your day job.
I have been able to change my MAC now,I just was interested to know any other theories on this matter,
I am not sure. You have to go into your router setup and see if theres a way to modify your MAC address. My linksys has a MAC address clone tab where its simple as pie to do.
How do we Macintosh users using a cable modem + router (Airport Extreme) change the MAC address in the router?
I found that there is a paypal logo option in paypal account, so we can place paypal logo on ebay. I dont know if I place logo paypal on ebay, will my ebay account be suspended? (my ebay account doesn’t link to paypal BECAUSE if I link to my ebay account–> my account will be suspended)
http://www.whatismyipaddress.com will give you internet ip address and ipconfig command will give you lan ip address. Do I change both???
The IP address is all that matters. POSSIBLY the MAC address on your computer (is that what you mean by the LAN address?), but there are ways to spoof this.
Opening an email from EBAY does not leave a cookie on your machine. Cookies are left in BROWSERS and are left by navigating to websites only.
I don’t know much about that book either by Windsor – if you have it, please let us know what you think.
what is the difference between internet ip address and Lan ip address ?? do I change both??? The problem of setting up on website is getting an international merchant account to accepts the items that were veroed on EBAY. This is a problem…….
Hi aspkin
Thank you for your article how to open new ebay account,it’s brighten my way. well actually I have opened new ebay account successfully, as a buyer, but I wonder that do I need to change something in my paypal account or not, it’s still ok with old info that I used to tranfer money to ebay seller 2 months before. I use my ebay account as a buyer, your article mostly explained in the seller side, so I just ask if something different.
Thank you.
Hi Aspkin
I have created many ebay accounts in the past all suspended of course, thats before i try the comments in you Final ebay instructions. I want to know do they bann anyone living from the same adress? Like if i have been banned a few times, but try to create an account under my Dads account will they let it go?
Also we you say to change a few letters in the name, do you write the real b-day info? What information do you need to put right in order to pass the id test!
Best regards,
Rob
Mo:
I’ve always paid my fees after my account got suspended, mostly because I was afraid ebay would send a collection agency after me or screw with my credit somehow. Have you experienced anything along these lines from your non-payment of fees? If they don’t actually do anything about it, I’d just as well ignore the invoices too.
My understanding is they don’t plant a cookie, they leave some kind of image only they can read. There have been way too many people suspended right after they opened an email from a suspended account for it to be a coincidence.
Hi,
I heard that they can erase your old ebay ID evidence in some way, any ideas how to do that at all?
I think ebay is watching me. All my new messages is being marked as read? Whats going on here?
To all of you in the know,
After you add a different email address on profile with PayPal, does eBay recognize the new email as a complete different user or is it still tagged?
Is it wise to make eBay payments with PayPal accounts associated with the new email address?
I read the entire page and i don’t think i seen one question about opening a new paypal with fake name and address, what if you get a new bank account? but of course the bank acocunt cant be in fake name or address so then when i try to enter new bank account for verification, wouldn’t that link to my old suspended account? when they verify, do they really match up name for name, address for address? how else or what other way can i receive payments?
thank you!
Brad, I was suspended for the same thing and I wrote to ebay after the mandatory suspension period (I think it was 7 days) and told them that I honestly didn’t know that shill bidding wasn’t allowed and I didn’t even know what it was until they contacted me. I then assured them that I would never, ever do it again and asked them to reinstate me. And I was! I get the impression from Headache Land ie. eBay, that you can get a 2nd chance for most “crimes”. Hope this helps!
aspkin,
i was suspended for shill billing. what are the chances i can get reinstated? or should i move on?
thank you
I just have 1 more question:
+ my old paypal account: my ebay account was suspended when I linked my ebay to my paypal account (I did not find your page yet). Now I just open a new ebay account and I would like to add my new email account in my old paypal account (the one I linked to my old ebay account and it was suspended). I dont know It is OK or not ?
hmmm. Well NOS…
If you’re usnig ebay to buy stuff couldn’t you buy something with that card? (via paypal?)
Or if you using ebay to sell then couldnt you can pay your seller fees with it?
Else I think Aspkin mentioned donations..
well, it will be great if u can help too , spike. instead of spending ur time reading my questions and leaving back a comment like that :D. I dont know much about these stuff and thats why i am here 😀
NOS: You are hilarious! Is it any wonder Aspkin is avoiding this place..
Hey guys, i bought a simon.com giftcard awhile ago and i am wondering if i can take the money back out? maybe to another card or perhaps back into my paypal etc? Thank you
NOS: Obviously ebay thinks you are a scammer because you listed items in one of their 10 most dangerous categories. You people don’t seem to understand that by doing the same things that got you kicked off to begin with, will just get you kicked off again. Ebay has limited how much you can sell and is now watching your every move. What you sell, what you serch for, who you contact. As soon as the computer connects the dots you will be suspended again.
Ebay had placed a “selling limit” on my account and i was wondering whats that all about? I am no longer able to put “brand name” in my auction title. However, I ‘ve seen other users with 0 feedbacks are able to do that and i am not. Does anyone knows whats going on? Thank you
.. i dont want to take any chances. 🙂
many thanks.
Pete..
you enter a credit card number to verify. Ignore the phone number..
Aspkin…..What is VEro and how can an ebayer avoid getting Vero’d?
Also how do people selling bootleg disk(and I know there bootleg because in the ebay picture you can see that the disk is copied) and still getting away…
It is where you order products from a supplier and they ship from their warehouse. It appears to come from you, etc. You have to have an account set up with the company and you basically sell the items for them. It seems to be a great avenue if you don’t get booted!
Whats ‘Dropshipping’? Can anyone explain? Cindi?
thanks

Also, another question… What do you all think about the dropshipping thing… I have found a couple companies that are approved by Ebay and I see people are making a lot of $ from this. However, it seems like Ebay flags us down everytime and this probably won’t work for us either. They always look at EVERYTHING we do, no matter what. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any helpful comments would be appreciated.

Regarding firebox broswer, i read from other forums that it actually increase the chance of getting suspended due to the fact that it consits of the option of erasing all cookies automatically and ebay doesnt like that since they wont be able to keep track of your actitives without the cookies. I am wondering if thats true?
I got one question…………If ebay suspended me because of “Abuse Of Policy”, does that mean they connected me to my previous suspended account?
I got suspended for abuse too. Ebay is getting real smart bottom line. I think something is going on that we don’t know about. I think that ebay doesnt want anymore new sellers. They just what to stick with there power sellers. Everytime I list products I always get suspended for abuse? Is ebay suspending user because they dont trust them? or is it because they broke the rules. Others sellers break the rules and get away.
Aspkin how can a person stay out of the ebay radar? and howlong will it takes to earn ebay trust?
I did the same thing as you did awhile back. I tried listing an antique KKK item and it was cancelled. So I immediately relisted it but took KKK out of the title. 2 hours later I was suspended for 30 days. They aren’t stupid at ebay. They flagged my account and watched it and they caught me. Just like they caught you.
NOS: You have to avoid 3 day auctions if you have a new account. Ebay tried to block you, which sent up a red flag on their computer. Then you listed the same item that was blocked anyway. I guarantee this auction was flagged and looked at by a live person and they saw what you did when you were warned not to, and they suspended you. You HAVE to play by the rules if you want to sell on Ebay.
Does Ebay just use Ip addresses alone to catch suspended users? What im saying is that I should be able to sign up with ebay again ubder my same IP but with diffrent personel information and not get caught. Ip address changes daily and how do they not know that im a new user signing up who just received the suspended user ip address?
By the way, all i listed was 2 adidas items. 🙁
I was talkin as far as ebooks go spike…Also do ebay track by mac address?
Because 1 cent auctions cheat ebay out of listing and closing fee’s. The seller makes his money by charging 10 times what he should for shipping. Ebay is going to make this practice of over charging for shipping a dismissable offense, if they haven’t already.
