IP Address
Much is said about IP's on this site. I don't know what, if any, conclusions can be drawn from this, but I want to tell my experience.
While I have been selling on ebay for well over 10 years, about 1 year ago, my (now ex) wife wanted to sell some stuff on her own name on ebay, so we opened an account in her name, with her own physical address, and a paypal account with that same address.
All this was done on my computer that I used every day for my own ebay accounts. I listed stuff for her and would send invoices for her and, even log into her paypal account for her. She did some of the same from her phone as well.
Then about 9 months into that, my previous wife (who also sold on ebay) got suspended. We had not been married for 5 years but......you guessed it, they suspended all of my accounts at the same time as her's due to linkage....
HOWEVER, the 8 month old account that my current wife had, and had been used on my computer daily, was NOT suspended. It took me about 30 days, and I got all my accounts (6) back to active, but at no time did my wifes account incur any problems. So, while I agree that IP's play a part in all of this...I wonder how big a part after that experience? Thoughts?
