Business accounts
So ive been selling on ebay since approx 2003, I have been banned many times, but never felt like i was purposely creating a stealth account. Im sure as technology has changed, ebay has gotten better at tracking and such. When i first started i used an account under my moms name, then i went to college and opened one from the school, then opened another with my name built it to 1200 feedback, then got banned, then created a business account which was banned today- somehow i got them to reinstate it. I also have another business account, but surely its linked at this point. I Keep approx 150-200 listings and have items listed from $6 all the way up to $24k- Generally I dont have any issues, but you know how easy it is to get banned....
Sorry for the back story-
We are looking at leasing a new building. If i were to create a new business account under a DBA or a corporation, and only access it from that location or from a "Stealth" phone (Or i suppose a new user account,) would that suffice. I would also obviously use a new bank account, new phone number, and new email.
I would have to make sure to never access my current accounts from that location or vis versa correct? Unless i changed my IP and logged in under another user account?
I dont want another scare like today, as 50% of my income (Several thousands of dollars) comes from ebay, and would totally screw me if i didnt have a back up ready to go.
I would imagine, from reading here, that its a good idea to establish the account and use it for basic things for a good amount of time. From what i see it would not be smart to immediately start moving my listings from my current account now, to that account.
Anyways- Thanks guys (Gals) I appreciate all of the knowledge ive gained from the guide and from reading your posts- this site has definitely made an impact for me!
