I bought the EbayStealth book last week and I found very helpful information since all of my eBay accounts have been suspended. I wished I bought it one year earlier because I lost some precious time and friend's identities not knowing how eBay tracks and suspends accounts.
I need to get back on track because I am a professional eBay seller and all of my income depends on my eBay sales.
I understood that the idea for a new registration is to use completely different information that is not linked to your previous one in ANY way.
I want to take the max. precautions and to make sure that I will be not suspended again.
Therefore I did and will do the following:
1. I rented a small office space, so I will have a different physical address.
2. Will use a different internet service with another IP from the new office space.
3. Will open a new bank account/ debit card with the office address as billing address.
4. New phone number.
5. Another PC with fresh install of Windows XP.
6. Will use the SSN of my wife that has been never registered with PayPal.
7. Will start to sell slowly and will try to offer some different type of products.
8. Will make new auctions with different description/ pictures and will not use the same auction manager software.
Basically everything will be different - except the name of the ebay/PayPal account holder - my wife.
This is my main concern. She was registered already by eBay and she shared her previous bank account information with them.
The problem is that our names are not common American names. I doubt that there is another person with that particular name in our city, state or even in USA.:(
What do you think is there a chance that eBay links us again? I really need to be as sure as possible because I will broke if eBay ruins my business again. This is one of our last chances.
I will be very thankful to anyone who can give me a hint or advice.
