New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Created a new stealth Ebay account - will go over my steps below but day 2 got the email its banned:

1: New TracPhone with new number
2: Using a new Image on VMWare so essentially a new computer
3. New IP from IpBurger
4. New Savings account from Chase
5. Using a PO box as my address
6. Vanilla Visa Gift Card from walgreens

Created my paypal account and linked my savings account + verified with a text message
Created Ebay account with new gmail and new bank account + new phone number and linked to paypal

Listed 2 items:
USB scanner value 199 and some Toner 249 value

any ideas where I went wrong to get suspended?
IP address is from California
Cell phone number and address are from Florida

The value of the items listed. And the fact you were unfortunate enough of ebays bots catching you.

I would have listed just one. Sold it. Begged the buyer for feedback. Then listed another. Do that until you get 5-10 feedback before listing 2 at a time. And hopefully by then 4-5 weeks or so would have passed as well.

you were very quick, after one week you can start step by step with relative cheap items

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

damn so I need to start over from scratch
so what do I need now? New IP New Phone number, New Savings account, and new Gift card?

Any Apps I can use that give out new numbers for free or do I need to buy another flip phone for $15 bucks and a $20 card to activate it?

Also everytime I create a new account its 5/500 limit any tips on getting a higher limit?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

You listed fast. You used a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address. You listed a high valued item.
The act you listed fast can bring attention. The higher valued item guarantees attention and the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address put a nail in the coffin if a real person reviewed the account.

To much, too fast basically.

bad phone numbers and addresses get 5/500 I am surprised you do not get 0-0 with a po box address.

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Might be quicker to just buy an account of an established seller in the market place.

I purchased my first account on here but made the rest of my stealths myself after educating myself on the subject.

USB scanner and Toner values are kind of high for new account.

Electronic category is also risky for first sale and ink toner....it's a highly flagged category in general

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

The phone number was real I got a pre paid phone but the address was off

the address was a PO Box, I will go get a new phone and use a real address this time and just list a basic item at first like a set of stickers

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

is the new Chase saving account in your name?
do you have other accounts with Chase?
where do the pictures of toner and scanner come from?
PO box,whose name is on it?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

PO Box has nobody names associated to it
Pictures came from another ebay listing that was selling them
Chase is in my name
All my accounts are with chase but it was a new account different account number

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

It really doesn't matter whether he listed very fast, the value of the items are high.

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

did you link any of the chase accounts with an old Paypal account?
how can you have a PO box WITH no name?
pictures from another listing,is it yours or another seller?when did you copy this picture if it comes from another seller?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

a few hundred dollars is not high,I have seen people listing items in high hundreds and low thousand with no problem.

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Are you going to call in and try and save the account?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Ebay may not tell her how and what they found out.

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Did it say in your suspension letter what the problem was? Are they asking you to call in and verify your details?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

In my opinion you did two things wrong first you didn't priming your account for one week at least to build the trust second that you're selling on personal account i don't use personal accounts anymore for that fukin fast supended

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Yeah no crap, I can list an item at $19999 when i have an aged acc lol

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

Ok but are you able to see what paypal thinks of it?

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

eBay and PayPal Bots are triggered seeing those $199 and $249 in just a matter of day(s) :suspicious:

Re: New Ebay Account - 2 days in then Suspension
 

In the suspension email did they say anything about calling in and verifying information over the phone? That's kind of the norm now.
