Apologies in advance if this is long winded but I was hoping somebody could help and point me in the right direction
But for a few months now, a friend and I have been selling replica DVDs on ebay. Due to the fact they go against the counterfeit item policy, we have had to make many accounts to get around this, moving around as one account gets restricted or suspended and promptly moving to the other
As stumbling blocks came along the way, we started using different addresses and different phone numbers to get around this, as well as (mainly free) VPNs with some accounts linked to the same address. The accounts were almost always made and managed on my phone and linked to a Royal Mail dashboard where we contacted buyers to ensure they were happy to proceed with the order with them being replicas (which 9 times out of 10, they were).
Up until recently, accounts were also always linked to my personal PayPal account but as accounts started getting suspended less than a day from being created and often before we'd even sold anything, we made a new PayPal account and started linking everything there, which worked for a period. That is until this afternoon when all of my accounts, including two personal ones which I've had for years and for a time, had involved in this venture, were removed!
I was just wondering what people think I should do to avoid this? This is not a large venture we do - it is just a small side thing and might only be a couple of accounts with a couple of items at a time. But due to the pandemic and being out of work, every little helps at the minute. Are there any affordable VPNs out there which might work better that I could use instead of the free ones? I know you are all big on
IPBurger here but I'm not sure which plan I may be best suitable for in this predicament? Do I need a whole new PayPal and things even just to have a personal account?
I'm just very worried as my personal accounts I use a lot aside from this venture and would be devastated to be blacklisted altogether. Even just a way to get them back at this point I would be thrilled about!
Apologies again for the long windedness! And thank you in advance!
