Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Hello All. I've been operating several accounts with close to 20k Sales in the last 31 days. I got careless and sloppy on one of my accounts, and eBay Linked it to one of my past restricted accounts. So I get the email saying my account has been restricted.
However, they restricted my account from 100 Items/ 5k to only selling 35 Items/3k worth of items!
I just listed some items today and it allowed me to list. Midas Touch anyone?

No, if you had a true Midas touch you would not have got careless and sloppy.

The fact ebay found a link to a suspended account makes me worry.

Sorry, I see no Midas touch.

:tears:

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Yeah, that's just the start. If they truly linked it to another restricted account the limits are going to get tighter or the account will be suspended altogether.

Get your money out of the PP account asap, you're about to lose it.

Th PP account linked to the previous eBay account was not restricted. Solely the eBay account. (I still to this day recieve payments via PayPal) So I think your assumptions on PayPal getting Limited are incorrect.
Further I guess there is a lifeline on the eBay account, anyone with a SIMILAR experience (not an assumption nor speculating like most people on here do) know how long or if ever?

nobody has a crystal ball.....You just told us not to make assumptions or speculate, so what do you want us to do?

Not being rude here, but you just eliminated any possible chance of an answer and unintentionally insulted anyone with any experience...

Also, you seem arrogant to suggest you have a midas touch, yet messed up. You sound reckless and careless, not a midas touch. It sounds like the exact opposite of a midas touch........

Sadly OP - all the posters have posted some truths. Only thing I can add is that I had one account reduced HEAVILY in listing number way back before I was into stealth process.

That reduction went to permanent suspension in about 30-60 days if I recall correctly - just giving you my own experience.

Never can truly know...

From your previous posts, I realize you know everything there is to know, ( so I wonder why you are bothering to ask anything at all - must be just to give yourself a chance to tell us we're all idiots, I suppose ) however my comments are based on experience.

If your EB's have been linked, that info has been passed along to PP. PP will be manually reviewing your accounts and anything you ever touched - transfers, payments, withdrawls, purchases, bank accounts, credit cards, funding methods - everything, they'll pump the data into their network of bots to look for patterns, and they won't like what they see.

Don't forget what happened to King Midas. He starved to death. I'll let the parallels write themselves.

You're going to need more than cocky arrogance to get out of this one, Golden Boy.

Somethings not adding up. After my eBay became restricted, I CONTINUEDA to sell close to 50k thereafter solely through PayPal(I sustained great relations with wholesale buyers). My PayPal is not restricted. So why would PayPal become limited if both accounts are in good standing??
And how do you know these things, you speak with such precisement. Not trying to be rude but you appear to be a professional speculator...

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

The question is: Can 2 Paypal accounts be operated in the same location if they are both in good standing?
I know with ebay the answer is yes but does that apply to PayPal as well?

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

i dont think with your ****ty attitude and obnoxious replies many people will be answering these questions.

EVERYTHING is speculation...... get real dude.

Your so funny, I want to party with you guys,

Youre just Miserable. So far so good. Midas touch in effect

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Twenty eight hours from your first post and you're bragging because they haven't taken you down yet...

ROFLMFAO!!!

Midas touch for what? only being crippled for stupidity so far? LOL Ya, you are awesome!

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

From my own experience, I have a PayPal that was linked to a burned eBay that’s still fine after like...8 years. Now, it’s a verified account with a full social attached so that may be the difference.

As others said it’s up to PayPal and how they feel about the accounts. Just because the PayPal is fine doesn’t mean it will stay that way, especially in the cases of stealth created accounts. You may luck out like myself and be fine, or you may lose your money for six months after they close you down. You have a risk and it’s your choice on how to continue with it.

Difficult to say 100% - it does happen at companies where many users might have paypals set up with same ip....

You are having too much fun here. You need a life brother.

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

I would like to thank those who have assisted me in answering my questions. The paypal linked to the partially restricted eBay account is a Business Account LLC verified through an ITIN.
I was really planning on pumping 200k through it this year. SMH! If worst comes to worst, if the eBAy is burned, is the PayPal account salvageable? And if so how? As it most likely will remain in good standing...

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

I pretty much answered this for you. If the account is fully verified as you say, it should be fine independent of eBay. It can never be attached to another eBay, but for everything else it may be fine. As I said, from experience, it’s not a big deal if the PayPal is verified and there’s no PayPal issues.

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

long term, using a good paypal that has been used on a bad ebay does not work. Short term(few weeks up to a year) you can use it on ebay by adding a new email address. You often will have the initial ebay funds held.

I use old paypal accounts for wholesale business and other sites, facebook groups, etc...especially if I have a good bank account attached.

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Fixed that for you. I do the same thing with my old orphaned PP's.

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Update 1 year later:
I have been consistently selling on this account despite the restriction of 35 items/ $3000.

I just looked at the account and could not believe, after one year the account has been restored to 10k items/ $10k!! Thats more than what I initially had.
Remember this account was linked with one of my past accounts that was MC0011 blocked...Persistence pays off guys!

Now lets stop play roulette and keep this thing clean. Midas is still in effect :-)

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

It would be really helpful for everyone here if you share how exactly you got sloppy. That will help everyone avoid potential trouble.

As I understood, MC011 is a restriction you will have when eBay wants proofs of delivery. If it was something else (Vero for example), I think eBay would have toasted the linked account all together.

I am really glad you got your thing going again. I wouldn't wish an eBay or Amazon suspension even to my enemies :tears:

There is a saying where I come from which says something along the lines:

Cut a man's head, but don't cut a man's income :amen:

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Listen champ, when I got that MC011 my first time around as probably were most ppl on this site, I was devastated but ultimately I had to become extremelyyyy resourceful as I'm sure you had to as well.
Next, I become sloppy by doing the following:
I ordered a charger on the new account and put the old address as the shipping address - it was sloppy, careless, and dumb... I got the email the following day about the restriction tying it to the old account.

I did not know if this account would last but apparently customer service, continuously selling with low return rate has driven the account back on track.
Hope this helps.

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

Let me get this straight. The new stealth account was registered using different info, right? Then you placed an order and shipped it to the name and address of the old "restricted" account?

I don't think what happend happend because of your old "MC011" account. That way all dropshipper accounts would be flagged similarly. If I go right now on eBay, place an order from my account and ship it to your address that is attached to the "MC011" account, will that result in my account getting restricted? I honestly don't think so.


When eBay links a new account to an old restricted one, they usually restrict both. The timing of the last "restriction" you had might be a total coincidence.


Have you thought deeply about the matter? Maybe you have slipped someway else?


EDIT:

How long did it take for new account to take off after that last restriction?

Re: Strange Things Happening. Please Read
 

If you place an order from your account, and change the address to the address of my MC011 Restricted account, your account will be flagged and linked to an old account. However ALL Information I used was Brand New, but SAME LAST NAME on the new account. - Perhaps the matching of the last name + same address lead to restriction??

If you purchase something on eBay and change the address to that of a restricted account, then yes it can get restricted- I am not a dropshipper so I do not know the specifics of what that entails but it is what occurred.
(I have New Address, New IP, New Name(But same Last Name)-etc etc)

-My account was restricted in terms of volume of sales from 100 items/5k to 35 items/3k worth
-My account was restored to 10k items/ 10k worth
-It took approximately 8 months to restore.
- I continued to sell despite the restriction- I never called in to eBay because It might just raise more redflags and draw attention

I hope this helps.
