Just wanted to share my experience with one of my recent stealth accounts getting the MC999. I opened an account all stealth and all verified. Waited a few weeks and listed (off all things) a bookmark for a penny auction. Within the next 4 hours not only did I get a message that my listings were removed twice. I was also suspended twice. As in I got two emails and two MC999 security concerns messages in my eBay account.
So I called eBay ready and prepared and the lady I talked to simply asked to call my number on file. She did and she said that she doesn't have any idea why my account was suspended and that she would send in an appeal for me. She said she didn't want to give false information to me about why it was suspended and that she honestly does not know. There is also no message as to why I was suspended in My eBay section either other than the standard MC999 security concerns message. It's like its being ran by monkeys (which it pretty much is) haha.
This doesn't bother me as I have plenty of other stealth accounts that are fine. I just found this odd and thought I would share. I know the account is pretty much a lost cause but what do you guys think? Anyone ever had anything similar?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
yeah, it has happened to me a few times.
Usually means that they have linked you in multiple ways (previously used address or IP by someone else, not necessarily you)
And the fact that it cannot be lifted by the basic rep means that it might have been pretty recent that the previous info was suspended.

Right, The reason I find this odd is because usually if something like that comes up I will get the ban-hammer within a day of creating the account. This account was however almost a month old.
The rep did say that for some reason she couldn't lift it. When I asked why she said "it isn't letting me" and she said she would send in an appeal because she saw no reason for it to be suspended.
BTW it was the Utah call center that I got a hold of. They usually seem to be the most helpful (in my personal experience) at getting accounts reinstated.
