Please call to verify information

Accounts made in the names of real people, vs accounts made with pseudonames "John Aspkinberryfish" - Do the former run a greater risk of getting the 'temporarily restricted while we verify your information' flag? (not MC011, but the type where you need to call to provide how you got your items + sometimes ID verification).

The recent accounts Ive made have been in friends names, as opposed to accounts I made earlier on which were complete pseudonames. The pseudoname accounts never got flagged, but the accounts made with real names have gotten this flag quite frequently recently. One is actually 6 months old and just got it. Peculiar that it happened this many months in.

Did you friends already have some kind of presence on eBay? As one time buyers maybe?

Only thing I can think of.

I think pseudonames work better since there is no way to match them with something real :D
