New Listings Do Not Appear On A Fresh Account
 

Hello everyone,

I have been doing eBay stealth for almost a year now without any problems.

This past month i have had problems with my listings appearing in the search results.

I am selling mobile phones with stock photos (the same method as i used for selling for the past year).

Usually they would show up after 12-24h.

Now even after 30h they do not show up in the search results even if i lookup the product via the item number.

After about 38h the eBay account gets suspended (the listing still does not show up by then).
This used to happen in the past, but it didn't bother me since my item would sell by then.

If any of you could point out what i am missing, or if anything has changed to bypass this situation i would be forever grateful.

Well if the account gets suspended after X amount of hours then that's the problem. The automated bots obviously flag your account and prevent the listings from appearing and then when someone I guess looks at it and cross checks against other accounts it must be linked to then it suspends you. So I assume you've messed up with the creation/use of the account.

It's likely the IP address casuing the trouble. In my experience, that can be the difference between a listing showing up instantly or not at all (i.e. suspension).

also it does not help if you use stock photo.
