MC008 and my story!
Hi,
So here is my story, I was in the mid east and started my cosmetics business on an ebay like website there (ebay is not available there) I started from low end brands and build my customer base slowly and eventually started selling high end brands like mac (100% authentic, and it took me 3 years to find an authentic supplier)
Just when I took off with my sales, we had to move back to Canada. So I thought ok, I can sell on ebay. I opened an account, started selling, realized I couldnt sell more than 10 high end cosmetics items but could sell upto 100 a month. I have my own online store as well but needed ebay to generate traffic.
So I called them up (i know BIG mistake) to raise my limits, got the seller vetting, they wanted invoices, so I sent them, but then they wanted to know where my supplier was getting her stuff from and it had to be from Mac.. which obviously I couldnt get (who would reveal their source!) So they restricted me form seling in health and beauty altogether. I opened another account, seeing they didnt give me a chance, I worked hard and slow for a year, made power seller this month and hit my 99 feedback mark, I thought I would call them again (:() I did, got to seller vetting again, they looked into my account, blamed me for opening another account, I told them, you didnt give me a chance and i thought I would prove myself, i did nothing wrong. I even had the same paypal.. they said no, unless I can provide them with an invoice they cant let me sell. and I got an MC008 email from them :(
Anyways after going through this form, I realize I was super naive and stupid! I was totally under the radar, even got my limits removed from selling 10 to 100 high end items by the regular CSR and may have gotten 100 limt removed if I had my 10 FBR but noooo I got impatient.
Is there any other option other than stealth? Any advice will be appreciated!
Also if I do open another account from a different IP, computer, internet etc, if I eventually use my gargle sale account on my computer to list items, can they still trace it back? or is it just at the creation of account do you need a different IP?
