I am so glad to find this website..I am just very sad that I didnt know any of this beofore. I almost had a heart attack due to my eBay suspension, again!
I did stupid mistakes with one of my old accounts. the I kep using my other account for selling. I didnt change anything. It took them a month to shut it down. I even wanted to reinstate the first one, did everything they asked..but no1 they said it is suspended indefinetely! that account had less than 50 feedbacks, all positive. The other one was a PowerSeller account with about 2000 feedbacks. My family depended on this!
I almost had a heart attack last week, when they shut down my 2 months old new account. which by the way I created with somebody elses name, address, cc info, a brand new PayPal, and I even got a new laptop. I sold stuff for about 1.5 moths, over 600 listings and over 400 feedback.
BUT I never changed the IP, thinking it would automatically change with my new laptop(stupid me)! The worst thing is the people I used the address ad phone number are realtives and are not aware of this.They have dial up internet and their own eBay accounts. I am praying that they wont get suspended, or they will eat me alive
I use dsl internet with wireless router. I turned it on and off and the IP changes. My questions are:
1- Am I safe to open a new account with all new info as stated here?( gift cc card, virtual address, virtual phone number)
2- Can I use PO box as an address with eBay?(to become seller again too)
3- My wife has an account too(created with same info as the suspended one), using the same computer and she got a phone call from eBay(actually the people who we used the address and phone number did) and they said she should change her contact info. what does that mean?
4- Will those accounts of my relaties get suspeded too? what are the chances?
5- Should/can I use a friends eay and PayPal account from my home, by changing the IP and cleaning the cookies, or does that still have a risk?
6- where I wrk we have a network and all the computers aroud me have the same IP. There is more than 100 computers involved. I accessed al of my accounts from work(again not knowing the IP address deal). Is that what got me? Can I go around this somehow?
7- I accessed all my accont sfrom the nearby public libraries, is it safe to go and create a new one from there? or am I ok to create one from home, after chinging the ip by turning on and off the router?and of course cleaning the f* cookies.
8-Somebody from another forum told me I should buy their IP tunnel service, because whatever I do to change my IP wont work and the subnet will remain the same and that will get me cauht. he also says:"Its not free, but it will create a secure and encrypted tunnel to our server and replace your ip address with our servers ip address". what do you think about that?
If anyone helps me out with this stuff I am more than willing to pay whatever your time is worth! I am not a rich man but I am a very hardworking person. eBay sales were my second job, to keep my wife wth kids at home and now it sgone..I am in panic..I am not even going to tell you how much I cried..did I mention I almost had a heart attack?..please help..I will appreciate and compensate you...
thank you all and Aspkin you are great!
