New eBay stealth account suspended in 14 minutes!
 

Hey Guys - I created my new eBay Stealth account today and followed the instructions to a tee. I used a windows VPS service. My only option for the name was to use a variation of my name and 14 mins after receiving the welcome email, I received another email saying my account was suspended.

There is absolutely no other way they could have linked me to my old account other than my name. Just a warning - the link by name can and DID happen to me!

It is because you are using a VPS service with the wrong set-up.
You can still use a VPS but install with a residential IP Address, and make sure nothing is leaking. I am using VPS on my accounts myself as it's easy for multitasking, accounts can be opened all at once.

I wonder what you're gonna be selling... just curious

Its just household items. I got banned from Ebay because I sold a vehicle and the title was lost by Fedex in transit to me so during the long replacement process, the buyer filed a claim against me and BAM, Ebay suspended me.

I suggest making the accounts first on a clean windows user account, and list your first item there. After the items are indexed, then you can set-up the account on that VPS you will be using. That should prevent the suspensions that you are facing.

Try to contact them via chat and request appeal, sometimes they will ask you document and they reinstall the account... Just a try

Seriously, when you make an account and you need an IP, use a residential IP from IPburger.

Use that at least for 1 month before changing to fresh dedicated IP.

Stop using VPS or VM.

OP, stick to this thread.

Stop making duplicate threads.

Have you been following our advice?

Also try messaging them , I got suspended straight away and then I messaged them and they reinstated it with 10 minutes.

True. But with the creation method OP, it is very unlikely to be restored.
He is using the default IP of the VPS which is from a datacenter IP which is generally bad just like all the other VPN providers.
