Activity: 0% Longevity: 71% | | 11 ebay/paypal accounts closed TODAY - why?
yes you read correctly, 11 of my accounts (amost all) closed today.
I can not understand why - i have been using stealth accounts for almost 2 years without any issues.
I have a vodafone pre-paid mobile broadband dongle which i use via my usb port, and each time i need a new i.p. i simply remove and re-insert it .
I have a different login for each account.
The only thing i can think of is each account uses gmail - and i dont always change i.p. when im reading emails between the accounts. Does ebay/paypal share info with gmail???

It's definitely a linking issue. Hard to say what it is without knowing all your practices.

I do not think that it has something to do with Gmail. I did so many times and never got problems.

Similar listings? Similar photos? Same products sold among diff accounts?

Do you have pictures turned off in Gmail? You can be linked by loading pictures in emails from Ebay or Paypal.

What steps had you taken with gmail? Images turned off etc?
Outline your methods please. |

You need to turn off images inside gmail. It releases beacons onto your machine / PC and you can be linked like that.

Gmail downloads email images through their image proxy, so your IP doesn't actually show up by any beacons. However, it's most definitely a good idea to disable automatic image loading just to be safe.
With that being said, I highly doubt the email images was the cause of your limitation.
How are you "isolating" these accounts? Virtual machine, different user accounts, portable browsers etc...?

Gmail will not link your accounts unless you are clicking on the links within the gmail. Sounds like you was using all the accounts within the same user and perhaps just using different browsers?
Can you confirm that you was using separate window user accounts for each stealth account?

Seems like we are pulling for info from the OP - as GB stated, need to outline your setup method - any old info used across the accounts? were you transferring money between accounts?

well sometimes there was money transferred between the accounts, but i dont see how this can link me.
I have a seperate PC for all my stealth accounts with a mobile broadband dongle. Seperate username for all accounts on windows XP .
2 of the accounts were completely fresh, less than a week old. Hadn't made any purchases or sales, or had any money transferred in or out. And they were linked!
So it makes me think it's some kind of IP issue.

| Ebay doesn't kill accounts on IP only, I'm guessing the sending money probably killed a few.
Outline your steps for making accounts....

to really help, DEFINE your methods of account creation and types of activity between them.
I can assure you others have had accounts lost with linking (and the users had no concept of the chances happening).
We need to know to ensure others learn risks.
That said, I am sorry you got caught. |

method of account creation:
1) buy sim card
2) buy pre-paid credit card
3) create new windows user account
4) create new gmail account
5) register sim card
6) register on ebay, use number on sim
7) register on paypal, use number on sim and pre-paid credit card
8) put something for sale, recieve phone verification code.
after this, i do not keep the sim card. do paypal / ebay still call at random times? perhaps this was an issue?

There's no mention in your setup of adding bank accounts. How were you cashing out?
You have mentioned sending money between the accounts. How many times did you do this and how was it sent? Family / friends?
Also, was the suspension / limitation on ebay, paypal or both? If Paypal, what does it say when you log in? Are there steps to resolve or is it a permanent limitation? If ebay, what was the suspension notice? Do either mention linked accounts?

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

ryan'
I know you are upset. But please tell us what the actual suspension notices are.
We are going around in circles. |
