I have been banned from ebay many times before but this time I wanted to do it perfectly.
I read aspkins guide and did everything to the letter.
I created a new email.
Added that to paypal and removed the old one.
Cleared all cookies.
Changed IP address.
Changed name and address.
Before I could sell they banned me.
I did everything.
I then bought 10 items and got 10 feedback and then somehow ebay linked my account to a previous account even though I took all these steps to avoid linking at all.
How could this have happened?
I just dont understand.
Need some advice.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
So with one account before you even starting selling anything you were banned, and with another you were able to list auctions for 10 feedback and then you were linked somehow?
are you sure they suspended you for being linked to another account? or because you bought 10 items for a few cents to gain feedback?
i created a new account a week ago and listed 20+ items for $100+ each, they all finished today and the account is still working. so that can't be the problem, that they suspended you because you listed right away. it's probably because they found out you bought items to gain feedback.
Money2burn you bought cheap feedback, so actually you didn't follow Aspkin guide. We don't condone to buying cheap feedback. Thats why your account was suspended.
Maybe 1 or 2 cheap feedback will work but 10, yeah uhhh Ebay is smarter then that
i don't even bother with buying anything anymore. if i am going to use the account to sell, i sell. just sell household items for the first month or so, then back to the money makers after that.
You may have been a victim of thr unspoken (amongst ebay users) of the "nickle & dime" rule.
See, there are organizations out in the cyber-world that sell you ebay accounts with pre-loaded feedback. They usually are sold with 5, 10, 15 and 20 feedback; eBay is totally on to these pkg deals. When you begin selling with your feedback smack-dab on one of these numbers a red flag (supposedly) goes up on your account...this in it self will bring on the request for documentation and validation of your personal information. Guess you can call it...bad timing for selleing.
Theres a trick around the cheap feedback, i learned it today O.o but you get a 25% ban chance, plus if you want to sell items, thats the next triky part i gota figure out o.o (under 30 day account)
I think what Stealth is saying, which makes sense, is that even if you did not purchase this account it is being lumped in with the ones that people DO buy...with the "⊗⊗⊗⊗" feedback.
Yes...Modee finished my thought brilliantly. Thanks
So what you are saying is that even though Aspkin says in his guide that just adding a new paypal email will be sufficent, that the guide was incorrect?
You cannot use PP AT ALL anymore with EBAY. They are linking.
let me get this straight. even if you just add the paypal email address to accept payments for your listing, without linking them officially, it will still get you suspended?
I understand that this time I got banned because of the cheap feedback but the fact that even next time I will get banned, just takes the piss.
So Modee, if I make a new Paypal, new credit card and get it verified, then all should be good for many years to come as long as I dont break any rules?
