Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

My account creation method for UK accounts is as follows below;

1. Start fresh user on my MacBook.
2. Fresh Dedicated IP from IPBURGER.
3. New gmail account.
4. New EE Mobile Number.
5. Signup to PayPal add bank account & verify, add VCC and verify.
6. Register business account on eBay supply name address etc, and verify mobile number.
7. List a low risk item.

Then SUSPENDED

I’ve alway listed item an straight after the accounts opened never had an issue in 2 years up and till now.

Something has changed it seems that eBay are using a different method to either link accounts or picking up that this is a stealth account.

Anyways I’m not give up just gonna up my game and try different methods of account creation and I suggest everyone does the same and updates the thread with there findings.

I’ll be opening a new account within the next few days and post back with the results fingers crossed :)

Thanks for sharing.
Usually most of time system suspend account after 1st item listed, so you have to call them, answer few question and get reinstated. Did you call them for the last suspended account?

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Yes that’s usually the case and yes I did call on for 2 accounts.

The first account I was told by the rep that she shouldn’t tell me this but the account has been linked to a suspended account.

The second account I was told it’s suspended and there’s nothing I can do about and so on bull****

Usually when your suspended after first listing which I’m sure you already know you call up answer a few questions and your reinstated however this time it’s not like that.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

I have got exactly the same issue with my last two accounts that were made a week ago and 3 accounts were made 2 weeks ago. I have made a lot of accounts for past years, but never had the problem like that.

Yeah, a lot of people discussing here got the same problem.
I know one guy that works with stealth accounts as well, he had exactly same problem past month, but yesterday he said he found a solution. He simply used a real UK number. So I guess when he call to rep they can see he use the same number that was used with created account. They just reinstated one account, then he got more SIM cards and created more 5 accounts and passed 1st suspension with no issues.

So did you use the same phone number that you called from and created account or phone numbers were different?

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Yh I always call from the mobile number or have eBay call me I always do that so I very much doubt that’s the issue.

What browser do you use when setting up accounts because I feel there’s an issue with the browser in relation to browser fingerprinting which link accounts I know Amazon link accounts using this and many other methods just not sure if eBay have implemented this now.

I’m going to try a new account with Firefox browser with canvas defender add on and see how that goes I’m gonna try setting one up within the next few days when I get a chance.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

I meant do you call from the same mobile number that you used when creating account or they are different?

I use Firefox portable with new username under W10, it can't be linked, I still have 2 alive accounts that were made with the same method and no issues.

Can you please update us when you create one via Firefox with canvas defender? I never used the add-on, so I wonder will it work for you.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Yes I call or have eBay call me on the same mobile number which I have registered on the eBay account.

Yes I’ll keep you updated once done hopefully it should work if it doesn’t I don’t no what to do then.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Someone recommended that I get a mobile wifi router if you are in the UK, I bought one today, mobile data is also pretty cheap , as cheap as 20gb a month for 7.5 pounds from Vectone.

I will get that and give it a try. Maybe you should give that a shot too. mobile ips are also dynamics? that could be a good thing?.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Yh I was thinking about that I’m going to use mobile when creating a account.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Great Idea, we have collection spots here in the UK, theres even one in my Gym, am not sure if there are Amazon only. I remember being given the option to pick up my order there while shopping on amazon, you input some codes and retrieve your parcel.

Click and Collect Locations might require an ID? am not sure.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

I use the exactly the same method for opening new accounts. which have worked for me for years.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

The way it works here, is you sign up with a real ID, but you can add additional names or businesses after. The address appears like an office or apartment location, so it doesn't raise any flags. I plan to use this to "season" new stealth accounts.. Buy some really cheap stuff on Ebay and have it sent to the address over a 30-60 day period before listing anything.. I will also have a phone bill tied to this address, in case I need to respond to an MC011..

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

did anybody try for USA ebay accounts?
I am using
new dedicated fresh ip
new tmobile real sim card
also added real debit tdbank card to ebay for automatic payment with true zip code

after first list they kicked me :(

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Did you call them?

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Actually names are not real so I think they will request id or etc.
So I didn't call

But I realized that when I using IPburger or any VPS to sign in ebay, it request captha but I have anouther account and it working through real usa resident ip and it doesn't ask any captcha.

So does this situation occurs because of using VPN or etc??

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Setting up stealth accounts on Ebay are just as hard now as they are on Etsy

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

How soon after creating the account did you list the first item and what was it?
Other things like not enough browsing activities, add-ons etc could be the reason. Check https://proxy6.net/en/privacy and https://whoer.net to look for any wholes in your setup.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

I listed first item after account 30 days aged. It was cheap used mouse not suspicion item. I will check them

thank you.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Working fine mo issues

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Any good news?

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

1. Fresh user doesn't give you a new device fingerprint. It only deals with cookies.

2. IPBurger is used by everyone on this forum, it's possible that the IP range is blacklisted.

3. A new email is a red flag. PayPal, and maybe even eBay can see that the email has no history in the sense that it isn't linked to any social media accounts, you didn't use it to sign up to any forums, you didn't use it to sign up to YouTube, etc, etc.

4. New EE mobile number should be fine.

5. Using a VCC is a potential red flag.

6. I read eBay is getting tough with their security on business accounts.

7. A low risk item is a good start.

Not one thing got your account suspended. A number of things added up together got you the chop.

Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

Any luck with using Firefox and the canvas blocker ?

Re: All new ebay accounts getting suspended
 

$100 dollars says his accounts got shutdown within 24 hours.

You block eBay from reading your canvas fingerprint and that will weaken the account severely, anything else wrong and your account goes up in smoke. You block PayPal from reading your canvas fingerprint and they'll shut you down and call the Police.

Normal legitimate users don't block the canvas fingerprint, only dodgy people have a reason to do that.

Buyer buying limit and account stealth
 

HI Dude!
I use Ebay as a buyer and not a seller, but I make use of multiple account inorder to prevent buying limit and account suspension because i buy alot from ebay to resell on my physical store.
Items i buy are iphones and Laptops which is of high price.
please how can i manage these accounts with VPN without been linked or blocked.
should i Setup a seller account or stick to my buyer account?

Also can using of Gift card to purchase pose a kind of threat to my accounts ?

Re: Buyer buying limit and account stealth
 

What are you using as payment source? Using gift cards a lot is very risky.
