That is the most profound post I've seen in the past 30 seconds. I dunno how much longer I would have survived on the intertubes if that link hadn't come along.

;)

Had been suspended three times prior to finding this place. Have now been up and selling for over 18 months after practically memorizing Stealth. Follow the rules, start slow, and just use common sense. Some sellers just attract attention because of the sorts of things they sell or the huge amounts of items they sell. I did and still do neither. I gross about 5K a month off of ebay selling between 50-100 items a month, that's it. I'm up over 1000 FB, 100% with DSRs of 5, 4.9, 5, and 5 and have been given that stupid Preferred Seller status thing, or whatever they call it when you have that new little medal thingie beside your auction listings.
It can be done, and it can be maintained. Don't give up hope.

Hey Brokeback,
Was your paypal ever limited during this time? If yes, any idea what level of sales, etc. would have triggered it?
Thanks

It's been just over 12 months for me and I too did everything very slowly.
Was never limited but I don't sell anything too expensive or high risk.

Going on 2 Years
 

I sure hope I am not jinxing myself! But, my main account will turn 2 Dec 3. I have another baby that I opened this summer, attached to the main account. But, that account is basically being used for 1st of the month bills. Neither account sells vero.

I had several accounts knocked out this year though. I lost one because the fees had gotten away from me. And the others were due to Paypal. After I lost the last one, I decided that I was too tired to constantly play dodge ball with Ebay and Paypal and needed a break.

So, for the next month or so, I am just taking time off and only selling legit stuff. However, come February or March, I will all rested and ready to play!

I don't think it matters how long you last per account as long as you're able to make some form of money on it. You can make unlimited accounts so basically that equates to forever. Your time per account should improve with experience.

Probably so. Just looking at all the accounts I had go down - having this one is quite an accomplishment for me. My 2 year old account was one of my first. I need to get to making accounts. I have a couple. But, again, I just want a normal business right now. I have my website that I have been working on. And planning a wedding. So, with that and every day life, I just don't seem to have enough time. It is after midnight and I am still processing orders from the day. And will hit the floor running tomorrow.

When I got suspended, I made 1 or 2 accounts a day. I should get back to that.

When you created accounts, did you obtain LLC's for any of the accounts you created?

No, never have

Corey Chambers Auction Consignment on eBay Estate Sales
 

While Corey Chambers on eBay has 10 years of experience on eBay, along with a very high feeback rating, eBay frequently accuses, threatens and punishes us and most other sellers by cancelling our listings, false accusations that we have purposely violated eBay's policies in an attempt to somehow cheat eBay. At the same time, eBay cancels listings and charges us for the listings they cancel, and falsely accuses us of shill bidding when someone buys from another who has ever used the same IP address.

eBay will either change its policies to become more customer-friendly or it will be replaced by an auction website that is focused on auctions and customer satisfaction.

2 Years so far....

I've got several suspensions, eBay and PayPal, but because I'm selling authentic stuff with authentic suppliers and my real ID, I've always past them. They just take so friking long time. Thinking of going to stealt mode and several accounts...

Happy Ending
 

My account has been fine for almost 2 years without any problem. I am a power and top rated seller. I take off around $1000.00 every 8 days from Paypal and "zero" problems so far. My only concern is that my simon's credit card is close to be expired and I don't have a social security number.

MY NEW HERO When I grow up I WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU :bounce:

The accounts that went down are mostly because of Paypal being limited and wanting my ssn. But, I figured out the trick with that one.

I have the Stealth Guide...reading and re-reading. lol
Is this done by using LLC?

I cant use my ssn as PP blocked me and I was a 10 year seller prior, great feedbacks, great 100% authentic items.
Never had a PP problem or issue for 10 years. The 2 ebay accounts from then are still alive (although cant use since they are linked to PP). My current 2 ebay accounts are live as well, but guess those are toast due to PP as well (this week limitation). Since I just got PP booted again, after 5 mths....they are wanting the ssn, invoices, ID... Then recived the email the next day that they will not review. I then logged into the two PP accounts to see the other two PP accounts that I had for 10 years included! So, they linked me somehow. How do I have a PP without my ssn? and no, family or friends are NOT an option.

Thank you!

No spamming f ake shoes!

Unmolested... by Paypal.
 

I don't know but I would like to try when I create a new Paypal account select that I am from other country like Mexico for example... you know there are 12.000.0000 immigrants in this country who doesn't have a SSN so how Paypal can ask them for a SSN? so my next new Paypal account will be that way...

Gift cards will get you suspended
 

sell more than 1 or 2 gift cards and get ready to get shut down.
had a conversation with paypal rep yesterday about it.

How can you have 12 diff paypal accounts? Paypal verified me over and over with one and their was no way I could use false info.

I think ID verify should be added to the poll options.

also suspended vero
 

I was also suspended and when i did the form saying my items were real they said I was doing it to get my account back i said well duh why else would i do it and they said no I tried explaining someone was playing and they said no if i listed something cheap it was ok but as soon as it was over a certain amount snd had a name the bomb went off. Half ,com owes me 6000.00 I hgave to wait 90 days for my money

Even with an LLC with a Legit Federal Tax ID, Paypal WILL at some point ask for a SSN, I cursed with the account for about a month when I went to make my First withdrawal of $700.00 ( After I had made several for less) I got limited, (and that was with all the other information already on file) and they asked for a SSN, which I was in a position to give them, ( Thank God)

That is my Biggest fear of this whole Stealth thing.

Reading about the SSn request for US users. Do paypal ever ask for NIS in UK?

How do you guys get around this one?

arshavin--thats exactly what i'd like to know
since my last post, ive been getting new accounts for at least 4-5 months and have no problems w ebay, except waiting for limitations lifted.., i havent got suspended yet, but paypal is my main problem. they always need my ID. and i have to start over. my other ebay accounts are still alive.

i wonder if i should just change my email and paypal account, and stay w the same ebay account. has anyone tried that?

No but I am going to try it next time.

yes at a point in time they did ask for NI in the UK, that seems to have stopped now....

think US people have few different options to avoid ssn, and in UK if they do start asking officially, then it will be our turn to get creative..

I used one that i was selling a ton of VERO items on and it was linked to a suspended account by every way possible! lol this is before i new about ebay stealth. The account was running for about 2.5 months before it got takin down!

so many complaints about eBay, but why people stay in eBay?

Perfect, I rate that they SUCK!

I truly hope one day that EVERYONE who got burned by ebay&paypal will gather all together and sue that son-of-bitch. one, two or even 10 is not enough, what if we gather the sellers from all over the globe? that's power.

let's file a giant class action lawsuit against these mofos.

I was doing fine until Ebay started their buyer protection crap. They kicked me because of 4 open claims in the last month. 2 were because a buyer was not marked as paid on EBAY's end! I had them marked as paid. Here is what she said in the non receipt claim.

"I contacted seller and they say I paid and items being sent but it don't show aything paid on my end. Can you please fix this for me"

She immediately closed this when I told her it would hurt me but alas, Ebay sucks!

F#$@ Ebay..."has one of us gone 12 months without being harassed"

That is like asking if someone has lived for the last year WITHOUT breathing...hahahah


Sorry, for the comments...but with the whole feeling of this post, it needed to be said once more.

I have been suspended for a stupid reason that was my fault, on 1 account. And a few test accounts, also trying stupid things, testing eBay's limits. But other than that my accounts have been unmolested for over a year now.

Nice going imjustme. From what I can gather from your posts your activities are very low risk.

4 month since I am on the forum and no problem on 3 accounts. YEAH:clap:

hi first time on here and i'm glad at last i've found you guys, i think i have the fastest ebay/paypal account suspension!! i opened a hsbc business account with debit card etc set up the paypal bought a few items to get a couple of feedback then received an 800 euro payment from a previous customer for a non-ebay related item and within 24 hours was closed down on paypal and ebay. Spoke to them both on phone and was told there was suspicious activity! I explained the deal and was willing to supply all emails relating to the 800 euros source etc but as i'm sure you guys all know... Nothing. That is the 3rd account i have had closed in the past 12 months (2 of which were 300+feedbacks with 98-99%feedback) All using different addresses bank accounts etc Like you guys i was just trying to be an honest upfront seller make a bit of money and have a reasonable quiet life but they just don't want that, it pains me bewilders me that they do this, so i've found you guys and will try again.

All i can is ditto! 400+ 99.8% feedbck. no complaints but did have a disgruntled buyer who didnt read the postage options which i think may have been the cause - ebay suspended/not registered user - no explanation - paypal frozen money 180days, no other form of income...mortgage arrears, ccjs... blah blah blah..will be buying steath book as soon as i can afford it to get back on ebay/paypal and try to turn it all around before i lose the house! its a race against time!!!!

>>>WOW how inspirational... I remember making 1k a week on ebay a year ago which really helped me get my finances straighten out... I loved doing all the tasks of working for myself as you mentioned above, but never got to you level sounds amazing.

agreed! my pp account had a few thousands at the time I got suspended. Silly me... but when what you do is legit, I didnt think to clean it out.. Not to mention over 4K worth of products we sent to a french frog who claimed he did not receive the goods when online tracking showed otherwise...
its like dealing with robots with eb and pp, all they send you is the rule book cut and paste and off you go, leaving your hardearnt money behind.

I am really glad that you are back earning money now. I know how difficult it is to have a loss of income. I am not lying when I tell you I was making between 5-10K a week on average at our peak.

Good on Aspkin and the forum!
