How many Accounts have you Lost? Permanently suspended?

tim348 · #1 10-10-2018

How many accounts have you guys lost that have been at this for a while? Ive lost quite a few. probably 20 by now..

I guess it all depends on volume and what you sell, high risk or not.

Wow that is a lot to loose! Have you narrowed it down to what is causing it?

I’ve lost 4 over a period of 2 years due to my own stupid mistakes which I learn from and not do them again.

Selling items not allowed on ebay lol. Its hard to find anything to sell that is profitable and not high risk. Im definitely trying to search for other products.

Several of them were just stupid beginner mistakes ,selling too much too soon. I always want to make more $ ,sell more stuff then get suspended.
high return rates, I also used to forget to take care of returns so many open cases.
But the main thing is selling high risk items, even though so many other sellers have the same items and dont seem to get suspended, have 100s of these items
listed and hundreds to thousands of reviews..

I should probably sell more low price items to bring the account ratings and selling history back up. This is over the past 3-4 yrs not all recent.

I've lost enough not to care to count them. I only focus on how many survive.

3, haven't had time to make a new, last one was because some mother****er logged into my account or well I did just from a different IP....

wow that's a lot.

I lost maybe 4 accounts over 10 years ago when I first started.
But I haven't lost any accounts since.

What is your operation like, buddy? If you tell us, maybe we can help you iron things out a little

What would be the safest way to operate stealth account?

Let's say you get stealth account and list 5 to 10 items in a week, and you sell couple of them in a week. (Low priced items $5 to $10)
Are you going to get in trouble with Ebay?

I'm using Fresh Dedicated IP, Brand New Stealth Account bought from verified seller, portable firefox browser + viscocity (IPBurger) with ipv6 and webrtc option disabled...Also using brand new installed computer.

Please let me know, thanks.

The stealth guide and reading posts in the forum will yield the answers you seek

I've only ever lost 2 of my own. One was my 2nd ever stealth account and it got shut down after around 5 sales, the other got put down at the EU limits stage (I'd used a poor address)

I don't think that's a problem at all as long as the account creation and products are good to go.

I use IPBurger VPN myself so I can vouch for it.
And if you bought the account from a seller in this forum, just make sure you have all the info from the seller on how to proceed and you'll be fine.

Thank you for the tips.
