Calling eBay and be asked personal Information in detail

[nickharry1509]

Hi, My US eBay Stealth account was suspended after I list a product to sell! Then I call eBay to reinstate my account, unfortunately, eBay rep asked me a list really detailed personal information of the real person I used to create this account, questions like who you know in those people, what SSN, what vehicle did you own,... Yep, and I failed to answer those question, my eBay was indefinitely suspended.
I'm not in the US So I'm curious,
+Why we are asked those question?
+All stealth account will be asked like that?
+If It's inevitable, where do we find that information?
+ Anyone in the same case before and how did you address it?

I'm new in the forum, thank you so much for your answer!

I tried to list leather wallet!
Do you use real name come with a real address to create stealth account or just use a real address with a random name so they can't check it?

Hi, Thank you so much for your help! I have truthfinder account but actually not enough, some questions really tough. Did you ever pass the test? and is every account will be asked? I'm not a native speaker so sometimes feel hard to catch up what they said on the phone, should I send them an emaiL?

As indicated above, there are decoy questions and answers eBay (or PayPal) can't possibly know. They simply add them to create the impression they do.

The decoy questions are typically multiple choice and the CORRECT answer could be ANY of the answers OR "None of the above" OR "Does not apply".

A typical decoy question you might see would be regarding your eye color, height, hair color, or other physical characteristics on your drivers license. The answer to those questions would be ANY choice would be correct, or "does not apply".
