11 ebay/paypal accounts closed TODAY - why?

ryan1980 · #23 12-10-2016

some accounts are restricted by ebay - MC011

some accounts are paypal restricted - i get an email saying:

Our system detected unusual activity associated with your account. For more information, please refer to the limiting accounts section of our user agreement

I can withdraw my money within 180 days.

Some accounts have both the ebay and paypal restriction.

i wasnt adding bank accounts at all, was just transferring money between accounts, and eventually to my real account if i wanted to cash out (this account is not limited)

i didnt send back and forwarth between 2 accounts, maybe once or twice, but rarely. sometimes as family / friends, sometimes i would 'buy' an ebay item from another account

Obviously a link. NEVER EVER send money between your own accounts.

It's almost certain that the movement of money between the accounts and buying items from "yourself" has caused these links.

Your real account may well go down in the weeks ahead.

Sending money between accounts creates a link.

Buying on one eBay from another creates a link UNLESS the stealth methods are impeccable.

I know your system lasted 2 years. But no bank attached to PayPal raises risks.

If these accounts had similar IPs and time of creation, more links.

I will not go on...it was the basis of your account creations that tripped you up.

i am suprised - people send money to each other all the time. and people buy thingss all the time . vodafone is one of the biggest isp's in the country - so if i buy or sell something to another vodafone user, paypal consider's us linked and shuts us both down? crazy!

MM78 · #28 12-10-2016

The reason you were linked via the "sending funds between accounts" was because you had NO bank accounts attached to any of those accounts.....

ryan1980 · #29 12-10-2016

i see, does anyone know of a method in AU of linking a bank account that doesnt involve opening a real account in your name? Im not comfortable constantly opening and closing accounts with my bank...

Yes they will call you at random times especially if you owe them money, they will send automated calls reminding you to pay

Spreading it out to different banks?

Then stealth is not for you if that worries you.

Think outside the box....

Why would you need to be "constantly opening and closing" accounts? If your stealth methods are up to date you shouldn't be losing accounts. So ideally you would open accounts at 3, maybe 4, banks and keep them open to use for withdrawing money from your ecommerce sales channels.

You can send the odd payment between your accounts, I prefer the recieving account to be one I don't care about losing. But having many accounts and sending frequent payments between is asking for trouble

Thought i'd also chime in.

Binary is correct - GMAIL images goes through their own proxy servers to maintain your privacy.

Others are right in saying you were linked based on funneling funds between accounts.

I also feel you must have been selling something you shouldn't have for your ebay accounts to have also gone down.

I would advise you to spread out the way in which you operate your accounts, i.e. using different tethering networks, perhaps using virtual machines if you are going to use so many accounts etc.

rsot · #37 12-11-2016

So there was transferring of money as I had asked - ah well - seems like others have replied to this info OP. Best of luck moving forward - you can TRY for reinstatement but it will be tough because of the linking but don't waste too much time on the hope and efforts.

ryan1980 · #38 12-11-2016

i wont bother with the re-instatement, just have to wait the 180 days to get my money out. Thanks for everyones advice, i will move on!
