Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

You probably doing something wrong. the key is to test your setups. 1 Account would not be enough. Create 3, if all of them get suspended than probably you are doing something wrong.

@LeeF73

It sounds like your having constant suspensions and having to get the accounts restored. That does suggest you’re doing something wrong in the first place. Not all accounts get a ‘first suspension’ that’s this annoying persistent rumour that has started.

That doesn’t mean some accounts don’t get limited on first listings, i’m sure they do, but if you make the account properly and then if you do wait a couple of weeks building up the browsing on the account when you first list tonight and it’s quite rare for it to get suspended. It does happen still, but the rate is quite low

They don’t. It’s not possible to track that unless you’ve got software installed from my understanding. If they were tracking the MAC address there would be a lot wider suspensions seen

@OP

It just sounds like a flaw in the account creation method if you’re getting limited that quickly without having listed on item. You need to go over your set up method paying close attention to the IP address you have used the details you were using. Unless you’re running dozens of accounts of the same PC the PC itself isnt going to matter so long as you’ve used a new user account

It's very hard to create stealth now! I got suspended for 6 accounts right now, I called them and they ask me some info and then got banned, by the way, I didn't list any item, my accounts got shut down within 5 minutes

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

That means there’s something wrong with how you’re making accounts.

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

List all the steps for proper analysis

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

I can partially agree.
As you said: "waiting a couple of weeks building up the browsing account" is not guarantee that you won't get 1st suspension, so I don't think it's good idea wait 2 or more weeks browsing everyday and building cookies. I created 2 accounts ±1.5 months ago to age them and see if 1st suspension come after 1st listing. Things I was doing everyday: browsing, watching items, following items, participated in auctions. Result: got suspended after 1st listing, but reinstated by calling. If I was new it would be better if I just registered account, listed 1st item, called and got reinstated. It was a test and I wasn't satisfied with the result.

I made about 20 accounts at last 30 days and I have one account that wasn't suspended after 1st listing(listed on 2nd day after registered). And it's still alive. Where is the logic? Nobody know.
Rush - isn't a good idea, but waiting for 2 or more weeks and lose money - the worse thing. 3 days is totally enough to list 1st item. Only my opinion.

I just don’t get anywhere near that high a first suspension % so it does sound like something in your system might be triggering that or you’re just getting very very unlucky

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

New user account
New IP address (used these for different accounts: mobile hotspot, dynamic ip address on router, IP burger)
New Gmail
New PayPal verified with bank and CC
New eBay with new user name and address
I built some cockies with eBay
Then Banned forever again!

I don't know but I think there is something wrong with user account on Windows 10! I am sure they still link my old account, but I have a stealth account created 3 months ago with same steps and it works fine, why I am not able to create another one from the same pc!!

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

I would be very surprised if it was something to do with that

What country are you trying to make the eBay for and what country are you based in?

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

Is it new bank account?
What about the phone number?

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

Country: Egypt - Yes I use both new bank account and phone number

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

So you’re based in Egypt and you’re also trying to make eBay accounts in Egypt?

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

In the USA, I have one account with Egyptian address and the suspended old one same as well

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

Maybe you should create Egyptian account and then change to USA after the account is established and make a sale?

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

There isn't Egyptian account on eBay

Re: Is eBay changed their method to track accounts! Get suspended again
 

I would be willing to do this. However the accounts I've seen being sold on here are either US or UK based. I'm in Australia so I'm assuming these wouldn't be of use to me?
